Lehman Praises
Soviet for Joining
Refugee Board

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Herbert
H. Lehman, director general of
UNRRA, issued a statement
lauding the decision of the Rus-
sian Government to join the In-
tergovernmental Committee for
Refugees.

The statement was made with
the announcement that an ar-
rangement has been reached be-
tween the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency and the Jewish press in
Moscow, under which Jewish
publications in Russia, for the
first time since the Soviet Revo-
lution, will receive JTA cables
from the U. S., Palestine and
other countries, depicting Jewish
life there. This is the first time
that any publication in the USSR
has been permitted to receive
cabled news directly from any
foreign news agency.
The arrangement under which
Jewish Telegraphic Agency news
will be cabled to Jewish publica-
tions in Russia is a result of the
increased interest on the part of
Jews in Russia in Jewish life and
achievements in other counrties.
This interest was indicated sev-
eral months ago iNhen a Jewish
cultural delegation was sent to
the U. S. and England, composed
of Prof. Solomon Mikhoels and
Col. Itzik Fefer.
Judge Joseph M. Proskauer,
president of the American Jew-
ish Committee, and Dr. Stephen
S. Wise, president of the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress and chair-
man of the executive committee
of the World Jewish Congress,
also hailed Russia's action.
