Committee Joins Conference in Protest
Against Hungary's Persecution of Jews '

August Designated as
Labor Zion Building
Campaign Month

The month of August has been
designated by the Labor Zion-
ists and its affiliated organiza-
tions of Detroit as campaign
month for a building fund of
$10T0h, 000e.
The n w Labor Zionist Center
should serve as a home for all
the branches of the Jewish N a-
tional Workers Alliance, of the
Poale Zion-Zeire Zion, of the
Pioneer Women's Clubs and the
youth groups "Habonim."

eign Affairs Committee, and Sen-
ate Foreign Relations and the
State Department that further
persecution of the Jews would
not go unpunished. Then the
War Refugee Board asked Arch-
bishop Spellman of New York
to make an appeal for humani-
tarian action by his co-religion-
ists in Hungary.
As a direct result of these and
