visions for special handling of
Jewish war victims in liberated
territories, according to informa-
tion available here this week.
The UNRRA sub-committee on
Social-Welfare policies, to which
several pleas for recognition of
the Jewish relief problem as such
have been submitted, has decided
not to include a recommendation
for special treatment for Jews in
Europe in its final report.

Early in the council's session
here, the Jewish Labor Commit-
tee, headed by Adolph Held, ask-
ed that "special and extraordi-
nary measures" be taken in be-
half of Jewish war victims, and
that a separate branch be estab-
lished for that purpose. Later,
the World Jewish Congress,
through Dr. Stephen S. Wise and
Dr. Nahum. Goldmann, asked
recognition of "a central Jewish
body, internationally organized,
as an integral part of the post-
war relief and rehabilitation ma-
chinery."
Both requests were referred to
the subcommittee on Social-Wel-
fare Policies, because its juris-
diction also includes UNRRA re-
lations with voluntary relief
agencies. Jan Kwapinski, of Po-
land whose delegation includes a
strong unofficial Jewish contin-
gent, is chairman of the commit-
tee, and Harry Greenstein, of
Baltimore, Md., on loan from the
Associated Jewish Charities to
the U. S. Secretariat; is secre-
tary.

tinction of having given more

On Dec. 8, Mr. Polk will give

member to the executive corrt-
mittee to take the place of Mrs.
Samuel Mendelsohn, who resign-
ed recently. A nominating corn-
mittee has been appointed to
make its recommendation, and

from the floor.
White Paper on Agenda
There will be a discussion of
the program adopted by the
American Jewish Conference and
to be pursued by local communi-
ties throughout the country for
securing the abrogation of the
White Paper, which aims to cut
off imigration to Palestine.
In addition, there will be re-
ports from Community Council
committees on their activities.
Attendance of delegates will be
taken, and organizations whose
delegates do not attend will be
informed of the lack of their
representation at the Community
Council meeting.
Action on Conference
The executive committe will
report at this quarterly meeting
on the action -it had taken at its
meeting on Nov. 22 on the ques-
tion of the American Jewish
Committee's withdrawal from the
American Jewish Conference. The
executive committe at that time
adopted the following resolution
by unanimous vote, two members
asking to be recorded as not vot-
ing:
"Be it hereby resolved that the
Jewish Community Council of
Detroit re-affirms its faith in the
principles, decisions, and actions
of the American Jewish Confer-
ence. It deeply regrets the with-
drawal of the American Jewish
Committee from Conference and
expresses the hope that the
American Jewish Committee will
reconsider its action and, at an
early date, reaffiliate itself with
the Conference, in order to
achieve the fullest unity in the
program for the common cause
of world Jewry."
