"How about a free sight-
seeing trip to Jerusa-
lem?" hostess asks Un-
ited Nations fighting man
at Services Club in Tel
Aviv (above). Centers
like this are dotted
through Palestine, main-
tained with aid of United
Palestine Appeal, whose
funds, together with
those of Joint Distribu-
tion Committee and Na-
tional Refugee Service,
come from nation-wide
campaigns of United Jew-
ish Appeal. American
boys now enjoy this hos-
pitality together with
British, Fighting French,
Polish, Czech, Yugoslav,
Dutch, Belgian, as well as
Palestinian Jewish troops.

George Weinstein, now 11
years old, is short-sighted, wears
large-lensed glasses and has a
good sense of humor. He has
been a refugee from Czechslo-
vakia since the age of 9. He has
found peace and harmony in
England, but his foster parent
is an American—the famous
Yiddish actress, Molly Picon.

IN THE RUDE and primitive
internment camps of unoccu-
pied France, refugees, like the
one pictured here, must build
their own beds if they are to
have a place to sleep.

When Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz (fourth from the left), Euro-
pean Chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee and
one of the few remaining American relief officials in Eu-
rope, visited -Marseille recently to note conditions at first-
hand, representative Jewish relief leaders in France bade
him goodbye as he departed for his post in Lisbon. Shown
with Dr. Schwartz are (1. to r.) Jules Jefroykin, director of
the J. D. C. office in Marseille; Dr. Lazare Gourevitch of the
Ose, medical and child care agency supported by the J. D.
C.; Albert Levy of the Comite d'Assistance aux Refugies
which supports 15,000 non-interned refugees in unoccupied
France, and Df. Joseph Weil, representative of the Ose in
the Camp Commission which is aiding 16,000 interned ref-
ugees. All of these agencies receive the bulk of their
funds from the Joint Distribution Committee. Dr.
Schwartz's report of increased needs among the 60,0041
refugees in unocupled France resulted In an increase in
the Joint Distribution Committee's allotment from 660,000
to $75,000 monthly.
