Abject poverty and destitution exist among hundreds of thousands of Jews in Rumania; the condition of the children in these countries is especially tragic, he said. The Joint Distribution Commit- tee, in the period covered by the report, "expended or allotted for aid within Germany a little under $500,000; to the various refugee aid committees and In cooperation with the High Commissioner (for Refugees) a little over $500,000"; and it "disbursed or alloted for the continuance of vital work in Eastern Europe, aggravated by the return of thousands of re- patriates from Germany, $340,- 000." Nazi propaganda against the Jews "has developed most strong- ly, especially among the native youth groups and organizations" in Poland, Rumania, Latvia, Lith- uania, Austria and Hungary, Mr. Hyman said, with the result that "boycotts are being carried on against Jewish tradesmen, either openly or under cover."

(JTA) — The American Jewish Congress was on record last week as willing to leave the question of convocation of the proposed World Jewish Congress in the hands of a world- wide representative council to be formed with participation of out- standing American Jewish bodies, hitherto opposed to the congress plan. In an effort to reach an under- standing with other Jewish or- ganizations in the United States and to unite all in a program of activity, the administrative com- mittee of the American Jewish Congress adopted the report of a special committee laying down a basis for negotiations with other American Jewish organizations leading to their participation in the Congress elections and estab- lishment of a world-wide repre- sentative Jewish council. It also empowered its committee of seven to name a committee on unification and cooperation to ne- gotiate with other Jewish bodies on the basis of the resolutions adopted. Report Due Feb. 1 The committee to be named to negotiate with the American Jew- lab Committee, the B'nai B'rit h and other organizations was in- structed to "carry on its nego- tiations through a conference or conferences with any or all of the organizations referred to, and to carry on such propaganda as it may consider necessary for the promotion of peace and coopera- tion in American Jewry." It is to report back to the administra- tive committee by Feb. 1, 1935.
