For greater co-operation be- tween individual Jewish societies directly or indirectly engaged in family welfare or relief work, a Co-operative Council of Jewish Family Welfare Organizations was created at a recent meeting called by Israel Himelhoch, chairman of the Jewish Unemployment Emerg- ency Council. Maurice Aronsson presided at the first meeting, and the follow- ing officers were elected: Mrs. Dora B.

A clearance system with head- quarters in the offices of the Jew- s h Unemployment Tmergency Council was set up at this meeting. This clearance system will be used by each society's relief commit- tee chairman to clear and register cases so that duplication and waste will be avoided and the families cared for will receive better ser- vice.

Among the organizations rep- resented in the Council are the Eva Prenzlauer Maternity Aid; Los Angeles Sanitarium Auxiliary; Detroit Auxiliary, Jewish Con- sumptive Relief Association; He- brew Ladies' Aid Society; Home Relief Society; Zedakah Club; Sis- terhood of Temple Beth El; New- garten Sunshine Club; Council of Jewish Women; League of Jew- ish Women's Organizations, and the Jewish Unemployment Emerg- ency Council. "The Council is not in any sense an amalgation or merger of the societies which have joined," says Mrs. Ehrlich. "Each society will continue its own independent ac- tivities just as it has in the peat. The only difference will be that their relief chairmen will save a lot of needless work and possible duplication by having centralized information about applicants read- ily available."

The Boersen Zeitung, chief financial organ, re- ported that the Steuben Society and the German-American Cham- ber of Commerce were backing the anti-Jewish, anti-boycott drive in the United States.

The anticipated municipal gov- ernment ordinance, establishing a slight measure of self-government for Palestine, was promulgated. The hearing of the three defend. ants in the Arlosoroff murder case took a dramatic turn when the de- fense shifted emphasis of the case onto the revolver owned by the assassination victim and the prose- cutor accused the defenses of try- ing to clear the three men by es- tablishing a case against Dr. Ar- losoroff's widow. Five Arabs accused of member- ship in the terrorist organization responsible for a series of out- rages in Palestine were freed in Haifa magistrate's court. • • • MEYER L. PRENTIS Nate S.

The pageant will be directed here jointly by Mr. Weisgal and by Kurt Peiser, executive director of the Jewish Welfare Federation, with the assistance of the Federa- tion staff. Miss Esther R.

Keen interest was displayed by the executive heads of these newspapers in this pa- geant, which has been a means of building good-will between Jews and non-Jews wherever it has been shown and where arrange- ments for its staging are being completed. The pageant will be staged here, as in other cities, under the joint auspices of Jewish and non - Jeiriah groups. "The Romance of a People" will have its next staging in Philadel- phia, starting on Feb. 19.
