Federation Considers Effect Of WA Dispute NRS Reveals Needs For 1945 Program GALVESTON, Texas, (JTA)— The effect of the recent break- up of the United Jewish Appeal on local federations and welfare funds was given consideration at the executive session of the Southwestern Region of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds held here. A resolution was adopted de- ploring the - break in the UJA and urging that an immediate ef- fort be made to reconstitute this joint effort—by the appointment o f an impartial arbitration committee, if • necessary.
