Boro Federations Launch Final Spurt to Goal Spurred by Governor Lehman's declaration that they were engaged in a "history-making undertaking," members of the New York and Brooklyn Jewish Federations today pressed on in a determined effort to attain the $6,250,000 objective set in the first joint appeal of the two federations. A total of $5,550.000 has been raised to two weeks of campaign to complete the daemand fund required by the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities and the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies to meet the budgetary of 116 affiliated social and medical demands, agencies. The Governor made his appeal for a final drive to the goal at a special conference of more than 1.000 communal leaders and volunteer welfare workers last night at the Hotel Commodore, Manhattan. He said the undertaking was one of the most important recent tests of the strength and vitality of the "voluntary tradition" in American welfare life.

Nova Pledges Support Others who exhorted the workers to push to the objective were Walter N. Rothschild, chairman of one the united campaign; Supreme Court Justice Algeron I. Nova, president of the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities, and Mrs. Nathan L. Goldstein, honorary chairman the combined women's divisions the of federations.

The full support of Brooklyn workers was pledged to the Governor and Mr. Rothschild by Justice Nova. Lawrence Marx, president of the New York Federation, presided. Mr. Rothschild declared drive was a historic achievement.

He thanked the Governor his address and pressed his gratefulness to the workers who had assisted him in the joint campaign. The Governor traced the ground of the unified appeal which, he said, was dictated by the critical situation of the Brooklyn agencies. "We stand at another great milestone in our philanthropic life." he said. "the year of the first united effort of the New York and Brooklyn communities. This merged effort not born over night, aS most you know.

Year by year for more than a decade leaders on both sides of the bridge have realized how increasingly illogical, confusing and harmful this separation had become. Crisis Led to Joint Appeal "In recent years the situation in til a crisis was upon manBrooklyn became steadily, worse unfully as they might, and no tribute could be too high to the self fice and loyalty of Brooklyn leadership in past few years, the situation of the charities on the other side of the East River had become simply untenable. "Their work suffered. They were increasingly unable to meet the needs of their borough. And they could see only a hopeless future for the hospitals, child-care institutions and other welfare services on whose help tens of thousands of our citizens depended.

"This year, after years of discussion and negotiation and abortive plans, we finally agreed to join hands in this first merged appeal. And as we joined hands we realized that a historic moment had come, fraught with the most important consequences both for the present functioning of the institutions on both sides of the bridge and for the whole future of the philanthropic life in this city." Other Faiths Await Outcome The Governor said the community is awaiting the outcome of the drive with anticipation, "for New York-Brooklyn merged effort is regarded as a pacesetter not only in Jewish life but our friends of the other denominations. "With them, too, the division between New York and Brooklyn has been a confusing problem," he said. "Thus the measure of our achievement will be a great factor not only in terms of our own institutions, but in communal life generally." R. C.
