NEW YORK (WNS) — The
American Jewish Joint Distribu-
tion Committee will require $46,-
570,000 to meet the Jewish re-
lief and rehabilitation needs in
Europe in 1945, it was disclosed
here at the 30th annual meeting
of the JDC, held at the Hotel
Commodore on Sunday, Dec. 9.
Joseph C. Hyman, executive
vice chairman of the committee,
told the 2,000 Jewish community
leaders who attended the meet-
ing that the budget represented
an increase of $26,350,000 over
the amount allocated for the cur-
rent year.
Speaking of Jewish relief needs
in Europe and of the death and
devestation caused to the Jewish
communities in the war-ravaged
continent, Mr. Hyman said: "It
is a conservative estimate that
if a million and a half Jews sur-
vive in non-Russian Europe, at
least a million will need help in
one form or another. Many will
need more than emergency as-
sistance. They are without prop-
erty, means of self-support and
source of income.
"To finance these unfortunates
will require unparalleled funds.
This means that the United Na-
tions Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration and the Intergov-
ernmental Committee for Refu-
gees, as well as the various na-
tional Governments, will have to
provide substantial assistance."
