WASHINGTON (JPS) — T h e
War Refugee Board is already
at work and its representatives
abroad are in contact with un-
derground anti-Nazi organiza-
tions in Nazi-occupied airope
to enable them to extend their
activities by which thousands
have been saved in the past from
Hitler's dragnet and brought in-
to neutral territory, it was de-
clared here by John W. Pehle,
executive director of the WRB.
Pehle, on leave from his post
of director of the Foreign Funds
Control of the Treasury Depart-
ment, is the U. S. official per-
haps best acquainted with the
work of the undergrounds, -espe-
cially those of the Zionists. It
has been through his office that
funds have been transmitted to
these groups for "life saving"
activities in ghettos, after it had
been ascertained that these funds
do not get into enemy hands.
Pehle announced that while
the WRB is aiding these under-
grounds in extending their ac-
tivities to remove people into
the nearest neutral countries, it
is- also embarking on projects
to remove refugees from these
lands into others, so that the
neutral lands nearest German-
controlled territory may be en-
abled to receive new refugees.
He announced that the War.
Refugee Board would work
closely with the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-.
ministration, the Foreign Econ-
omic Administration, the Friends
Society, the International R e d
Cross and the World Jewish
Congress.
