Hadassah and WIZO to Explore Possibilities
Of Cooperation in Palestine Postwar Work

NEW YORK. — Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America, announced here that it
has asked its Palestine Council in
the Holy Land to "consider ways
of setting up a joint planning
committee of representatives of
Hadassah and WIZO, the Wom-
en's International Zionist Organi-
zation, so that both bodies may
achieve a maximum of coopera-
tion during the post-war period
in the Jewish National Home."
The announcement was made by
Mrs. David de Sola Pool, na•
tional president of Hadassah.
The step was taken after two
conferences initiated by Mrs.
Chaim Weizmann, honorary co-
president of WIZO. Other rep-
resentatives of WIZO attended
at the Hadassah national office,
1819 Broadway. Dr. and Mrs.
Weizmann, who spent a year in
the United States, are now in
London.
Among those present were Mrs.
A. Raginsky, president of the
Canadian Hadassah organization,

which is affiliated with WIZO. and
other international leaders of the
body from South America and
European countries now occupied
by the Axis.
. In a "directive" sent by Ha-
dassah to its Palestine Council,
"the increased importance of the
work which Hadassah and WIZO
are carrying out in Palestine,"
was stressed, and the recommend-
ation that "a joint planning com-
mittee of representatives of both
bodies for the purpose of ex-
ploring avenues of growing co-
opjeration between them, whereby
the effectiveness of their work
may be strengthened and in-
creased," was made.
WIZO, which previously had
federations of Zionist workers in
almost every country in the world
except the United States, has
felt "the repercussions of the
war severely," Mrs. Pool said.
The organization conducts a sys-
tem of day nurseries and baby
homes in Palestine; provides tech-
nical and vocational training for

Rabbi Leon Fram
To Give Readings on

Continuing his series of read-

classics at the Sabbath Eve serv-
ices of Temple Israel next Friday

try, trade and agriculture; sub-
sidizes training of housewives
and domestic workers in the fiehht
of cooking and communal feeding,
and offers special services to
Jewish women enrolled in the
Palestine ATS (Women's Terri-
torial Army).
Hadassah, which has been en-
gaged in health pioneering in
Palestine for the past three dec-
ades, and which has expanded all
its work to provide war emer-
gency services, is at present sup-
rorting a nation wide system of
hospitalization, child welfare, rec-
reation, vocational education, ref-
ugee rehabilitation and land rec-
lamation work there.
Mrs. Pool heralded this initia;
step as an "important move to
assure a maximum contribution
from Zionist women throughout
the world to the new life which
must and shall evolve in Palestine
after a democratic victory."
