OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS TO ADDRESS NEN3
AND WOMEN’S DIVISIONS ON TUESDAY MAR. SO
A Catholic woman who worked for Belgian Jewry dur
ing the trying war years as an underground agent, and a
noted radio commentator, journalist and former Metho-
dist minister will be the speakers at two important func-
tions of the United Jewish Appeal Campaign in Houston
next week.
The woman—Miss Jeanne Daman—will address a
$36.50 Women's Brunch at 11 a. m. at the Westwood Coun-
try Club Tuesday; and Dr.
Frank Kingdon will be princi- ^
pal speaker at a Trades and
Professions Educational dinner
scheduled for 7 p. m. Tuesday
evening at the Rice Hotel.
Stressing the fact that the
Women’s Brunch minimum
cost represents only ten cents
a day throughout the year, cam-
paign officials urged a large at-
tendance at both the Brunch
and the dinner.
There will not be any solici-
tation at the Trades and Pro-
fessions dinner, according to
drive leaders, who have asked
that those receiving invitations
make their reservations by tele-
phoning K. 3-7361.
Miss Daman played a large
part in the Belgian resistance
movement and is now visiting
the United States in behalf of
Belgium’s surviving Jewish
people.
Born in England of Catholic
parents, brought up and edu-
cated in Belgium, Miss Daman
has always closely identified
herself with the Jews of Bel-
gium.
Headmistress of a school for
children, Miss Daman found
she could no longer instruct
her pupils in the spirit of free-
dom after the Germans occu-
pied the country. When the Na-
MISS JEANNE DAMAN
zis forced the school to close
she joined the Jewish under-
ground movement in the illegal,
dangerous and heroic struggle
to free Belgium from the in-
vaders.
’ Dr. Kingdom came to Ameri-
ca from his native England at
the age of 17 and entered the
Methodist ministry where he

In 1935 he was one of the or-

Syrian Agreement To
Enter Armistice Talks
Is Reported In Enrope
RHODES, (JTA) — Acting
United Nations Palestine medi-
ator Dr. Ralph J. Bunche this
week notified the Security Coun
cil at Lake Success that he
had received Syria’s acceptance
to his invitation to enter into
armistice negotiations with Is-
rael.
Bunche said he had informed
Reuven Shiloah, of the Israeli
Foreign Ministry, of Syria’s de-
cision an dthat the Israeli of-
ficial—on behalf of his govern-
‘ ment — agreed to enter into
} negotiations with the Syrians.

phasized that it is the- “duty
of responsible Zionist leader- th* ^ ^ ^
ship to warn that Israel is not
yet out of the woods” and that
“it is well to bear in mind that
Israel is the product of half a
century of unremitting struggle
and organized effort.”
Asserting that “the real, cruc-
ial test lies ahead,” Dr. Neu-
mann said: “If the Republic of
Israel is to survive, overcom-
The 1949 United Jewish Campaign Is legging. A total
of $924,120 has been reported through Wednesday. Al-
though the few cards already in compare favorably with
those of 1948, a greater difficulty than in years past Is
being encountered in large gift response.
Attendance at the two major functions during the
past week showed a good attendance for fhe Women's
Division and a poor one for the men. Hugh McDonald de-
livered a spirited message to the luncheon meeting at the
Shamrock and the response on the part of the women gath-
ered was most heartening.
A slim crowd heard the young Irishman in the ev-
ening at the Rice Hotel and a general apathy seemed to
have pervaded the gathering. Unlam some miraculous
change occurs in the next few days, the 1949 Campaign
will fall far short of its goal.
Active solicitation of prospect cards will begin on
Wednesday. The background to the urgent needs in Eu-
rope will be brought home to the men when they listen
to Dr. Frank Kingdon on Tuesday night, March 29. The
Campaign volunteers will take the field on Wednesday
and all cards are expected to be worked in the space of
a week.
Albert Goldstein, director of the Campaign, re-echoed
the words of his four chairmen when he told a group of
workers: "This Campaign must succeed if we are going
to do our share in making possible the cleaning up of the
DP camps during this year and the rehabilitation of a
million people who will start life once again in Israel.
- A $250,000 loan was made at a Houston bank to
mil to the United Jewish Appeal for this emergency for
cash funds, with the authorisation of the Jewish Com-
munity Council Executive Committee.
