NEW YORK—Because of its
exceptionally distinguished ser-
ies of broadcasts presented dur-
ing the past year, the American
Jewish Committee has received
one of Variety Magazine's cov-
eted radio awards for 1944. A
signal honor in the radio field,
the Variety annual "show man-
agement review citations" usual-
ly are given only to radio pro-
grams or stations, and the
American Jewish Committee is
conspicuous as the only organi-
aztion named among this year's
recipients.
Praising the Committee's utili-
zation of the facilities of radio in
making a "home front contribu-
tion toward breaking down
prejudices," the citation ap-
proves the Committee's motive
of fostering understanding by
presenting the historical and re-
ligious life of a people "with
dignity and honesty."
Among the Committee's im-
portant broadcasts in 1944, heard
on the NBC and Mutual net-
works, were: "Behold the Jew,"
with Florence Eldridge, based on
a poem by Ada Jackson; "Cour-
age Is Their Badge," with Fred-
ric March, a tribute to the Danes
and Swedes who rescued thous-
ands of Jews; "The Third Com-
mandment," with Philip Merl-
vale, the story of a group of
unwanted Jews in Nazi Europe;
"The Golden Calf," with Jose
Ferrer, dramatizing the repent-
ance of a German who bowed
before false Nazi gods; and the
"Battle of the Warsaw Ghetto,",
with Raymond Massey.
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Na-
tional Jewish Welfare Board will
seek $1,800,000 in 1945 for serv-
ice to the armed forces, the re-
turned veterans and the Jewish
Centers and Y's of the country,

secutive term.

Jewish Welfare Board will be
about $300,000 higher than last

tion and all governing powers

are 267 Jewish chaplains serv-
ing in the U. S. armed forces,
