Jewish Spokesmen at 'Frisco
Prepared to Present Claims
Proskauer, Monsky, Other Leaders
Are at Scene of Security Conference
By Special Jewish News Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO.—Spokesmen for national Jewish movements
arrived here this week to be on call whenever they may be expected to
present the Jewish claims before the representatives of the United
Nations at the Security Conference which opened on Wednesday.
Judge Joseph Proskauer, head of the delegation selected by the
American Jewish Committee, and Henry Monsky, who head's the
American Jewish Conference delegation, were among the first to
arrive here.
The Jewish delegation was to be augmented this week by repre-
sentation from the Jewish Labor Committee. An invitation was ad-
dressed last week to the Jewish Labor Committee by Assistant Secre-
tary of State Archibald MacLeish who invited its representatives to
be present in San Francisco and to be prepared to offer suggestions
to the U. S. delegation.
Two prominent Jewish women have been added to the list of con-
sultants. Miss Jane Evans, former director of the Temple Sisterhoods,
now director of the National Peace Conference, has been named a con-
sultant to the U. S. delegation at San Francisco by Secretary of State
Stettinius.

Schools in North Africa and the Middle East. The schools re-
ceive part of their funds from the JDC and as a result have
brought health and happiness to the children. The American
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, whose national campaign
was recently launched for a goal of $46,570,000 for the current
year, is placing emphasis on the children's aid program, and
its emissaries throughout the world are exploring all available
possibilities to provide homes for as many children as possible,
in Palestine and wherever havens can be found for them.

Stirring scenes at Penn Station, New York, as 201
refugees arrive from Montreal, Where 125 of them are
serviced by port and dock workers of the National Council of Jewish Women, of which Mrs.
Joseph M. Welt of Detroit is president. This is the largest group of refugees to arrive for per-
manent settlement within the past year. They have been in England since the war started in
1939 and many now talk with an Oxford accent. Approximately 50 have left New York for other
parts of the country, many joining relatives and friends.
This is the Jew in Europe today--
caught in a Nazi web of imprisonment,
torture and fear. Allied armies now are rescuing them,
learning first hand about Nazi bestiality. Funds to re-
establish them are being sought throughout the United
States by the Joint Distribution Committee, and cam-
paigns are now in progress in scores of communities.
