Ainbid jan Committee
Transteis Funds to
the ORT

The American Committee to
Settle Jews in Birobidjan (Am-
bidjan) decided to transfer all
its funds to the American ORT
Federation. This decision was
adopted by the membership of
Ambidjan several months ago.
Since then several conferences
have been held between the rep-
resentatives of the two organiza-
tions to complete all the neces-
sary arrangements.
During these conferences the
procedure of transferring all of
the funds of Ambidjan to the
American ORT in several install-
ments was agreed upon, and the
first installment was turned over
to the ORT at a special meeting
in the office of the chairman of
the ORT, Louis B. Houdin, on
Dec. 8. The other installments
will be turned over as soon as
all the necessary technical and
legal arrangements will be cons-
rileted.
At the meeting on Dec. 8, the
representatives of A mbidjan
stated that members of Ambidjan
have indicated that they were
ready to lend full support to the
sw-k of the ORT in its endeav-
ors to contribute towards the re.

BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Governor
Herbert 11. Lehman of New York
hails the Universal Jewish En-
cyclopedia, the first volume of
which was published Friday, as
"a vehicle of authoritative infor-
mation concerning Judaism and
the Jewish people," according to
on announcement issued here by
Rabbi Isaac Landman, editor of
the 10-volume work in English,
and director of the Academy for
Adult Jewish Education. The
Governor's message also charac-
terizes the*Universal Jewish En-
cyclopedia as "a potent instru-
ment to allay the passions of big-
otry and prejudice which are
rampant today in many parts of
the world." In preparation for
more than a decade, the rest of
the volumes will appear at short
intervals.
The preface, recounting the
motives and methods of Christian-
Jewish collaboration during more
than a decade of preparatory ef-
fort, avers that the Universal
Jewish Encyclopedia "might well
serve as a bridge between Old
World scholarship and New World
enlightenment . . . as a vehicle
capable of quickening the reli-
gious and cultural impulse, and
of strengthening the forces of a
beleagured Democracy every-
where."
