scope and content: Interior shots of fabric factory machinery and workers. United Jewish Appeal officials tour the facility, inspect fabric produced, and converse with factory workers. Julian Venezky appears at 01:00:46. UJA men, including Venezky and Sidney Green (?), exit the factory. Some of the officials are women. Point of view shot from interior of a moving car, passing by a checkpoint with a sign in Hebrew. The cars drive past a fenced area, probably a camp for new immigrants. Pedestrians smile at the car. UJA officials, now out of their cars, talk to people on the street. The camera pans down to reveal that some of the people are barefoot. Children pose for the camera. 01:02:46 UJA officials view a landscape of farmland from afar. 01:03:43 The officials walk down a road, presumably receiving a tour. Samuel Rothberg, with thick dark hair, appears at the head of the group. The group sits on a grassy hillside. 01:04:10 Henry Montor sits on the right, wearing dark glasses. Julian Venezky sits on the left. They proceed with their tour, followed by two girls wearing shorts and carrying farm implements, who look back and smile at the camera. Interior shots of the group eating a meal. 01:05:16 Members of the group, including Henry Montor, disembark from a plane (perhaps arriving in Israel?) on a runway and are greeted by a small crowd. Men and women seated outdoors at a table smoking and talking. Golda Meir appears at 01:06:22. Shots of Henry Montor in discussion with another man.

CUs of two little girls and the workmen smoking. Julian Venezky, Henry Montor, and Samuel Rothberg talk. 01:09:10 the group tours a camp, presumably for new or not-so-new immigrants. Nice portrait…
