Sumner . Welles Urges Widespread Response to
Nationwide Campaign for Rescu e of Refugees
NEW YORK.—Sumner Welles,
former Undersecretary of States,
expressed the hope that the $32,-
000,000 national campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal for Refu-
gee s, Overseas Needs and Pal-
estine to bring relief and rescue
aid to millions of victims of Hit-
lerism, would meet with wide
public support. Mr. Welles' en-
dorsement of the United Jewish
Appeal was contained in a mes-
sage addressed to Rabbi James
G. !feller of Cincinnati, national
chairman of the most intensive
campaign ever undertaken by
American Jews for the rescue of
the victims of war and oppres-
Mr. Welles declared that he
was deeply interested in the
drive which provides the re-
sources for a three-front hu-
manitarian effort including war
relief and rehabilitation in Al-
lied, neutral and occupied coun-
tries, refugee settlement and up-
building in the Jewish homeland
in Palestine, and assistance to
newcomers in the United States.
The United Jewish Appeal is
the single fund-raising instru-
ment for the Joint Distribution
Committee, the United Palesine
Appeal, and the National Refugee
Service, the three agencies which
carry on these humanitarian ac-
tivities.
In his telegram to Dr. Heller,
the former Undersecretary of
State said, "I am deeply inter-
ested in the appeal, and I trust
that it will meet with the most
widespread response."
With the cooperation of the
President's War Refugee Board,
the agencies in the United Jewish
Appeal are now engaged in a
concerted effort to bring many
hundreds of refugee children and
adults out of the Balkans into
Palestine. The Joint Distribution
Committee is providing the trans-
portation for the refugees, many
of whom are children whose par-
ents were slain by the Nazis in
Europe. After their arrival in
Palestine, the United Palestine
Appeal makes possible their set-
tlement and rehabilitation in
rural and urban centers of the
Jewish homeland.
Refugees who reach the United
States from Spain and Portugal
are assisted by the National Refu-
gee Service.

YOUR Edison bill will
soon begin to come to you in
post card form.
SIMPLE,
CONVENIENT,
PRACTICAL
SAVES PAPER,
MANPOWER,
TRANSPORTATION
It will be simpler — easier to
read — a convenient size — and
more practical in several ways.
It will be small enough to slip
into your pocket. With all its ad-
vantages, it will also help the
war effort
For one thing, the new bill will
save paper. Envelopes are elimi-
nated, and this saves 25,544
pounds of paper a year. In
addition, the new post card bill
will save manpower and trans-
portation.
This is a wartime emergency
measure. But we are sure you
will like the new bill for its own
good features—even without the
paper and manpower saving it
makes possible. It is a good
method that has been tested and
proved People like it .
We believe you will, tab.
