Mrs. Radal's husband war a Hungarian worker who was conscripted .into the German army and. killed, but the ICEF regards the undernourished, undernour-ished, rickets-ridden children he left 'behind in the same light as the hungry war orphans of France, Poland, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Czecho-slovakia, Italy, Austrie, Bulgaria, Finland, Romania,' Albania and Yugoslavia. The ICEF is operating at present pres-ent with contributions of $38,000,-000. $38,000,-000. mostly from various UN-member UN-member governments, according to Maurice Pate, executive director direc-tor of the fund. Original plans called for aid to 3,500,000 children, chil-dren, with an eventual goal of 20,000,000 youngsters. Under the program, ICEF contributes certain basic elements of each-meal, the rest being made up of native foods supplied by the local gov ernment. Each assisted nation must agree that qualified ICEF representatives supervise the child-aid programs. Thus far. however, contributions contribu-tions from member nations have been Insufficient to aid more than "a pitifully small number of those in need," says Pate. The immediate im-mediate need has spurred a voluntary vol-untary drive the United Nations Appeal for Children which is starting a world-wide campaign for funds in February. In the United States, the cam paign combined with the appeal of 22 American private, voluntary agencies for foreign relief witn a goal of $60,000,000.
