members of the Council. It is
assumed that the Committee
appointed for this task would
be acceptable both to the mem-
ber agencies of the Council and
to the national and overseas
organizations as an impartial
and objective 'group concerned
primarily with reaching equit-
able decisions which would be
helpful to fund raising and to
local budgetary procedures.
"The national and overseas
agencies would in the first in-
stance, as heretofore, determine
what their budgets should be.
The national committee to be
established would then review
the budgets, and after objective
and thorough study, would at-
tempt, together with the na-
tional and overseas agencies,
to arrive at joint decisions, on
the amount of funds required
to carry- out the specific pro-
grams. These would be recom-
mended—in an advisory way—
to the welfare funds as min-
imum goals for fund-raising
and fund distribution.

"Where joint decisions could
not be reached, the CoMmittee
would advise the welfare funds
as to the part of the agency's

and would present both sides
of the major items of differ-
ence.
"The Committee would not
attempt to establish local
quotas. The decisions reached
by the Committee could be
utilized by the member agen-
cies which desired to do so as a
guide in determining the dis-
tribution of the maximum
funds raised in each local com-
munity."
In reporting to the board meet-
ing, Mr. Blaustein stated that the
proposed service to be fully ef-
fective should have the coopera-

fare funds and the national and

UNRRA Decides
To Continue Aid
To Stateless DPs

LONDON (JTA) — Displaced
persons Who do not wish to re-
turn to their native lands will
continue to receive relief from
UNRRA "without discrimination
as to race, religion or political
beliefs," Herbert H. Lehman, di-
rector general of the United Na-
tions Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration, told a session of
the UNRRA Council here.
Mr. Lehman made his state-
ment following the adoption by
a plenary UNRRA session of a

motion overriding the dissent of
Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia opposing any aid
to war refugees who wish to re-
main stateless rather' than to be
repatriated to their native lands.
The dissenting countries- de-
clared that they "reserved full.
rights," since they consider that
the decision may result in an in-
crease of those who do not wish
to return to their homelands. The
attitude of these four countries is
explained by the fact that many
fascists among the Poles, Slovaks
and Russians prefer to remain
stateless rather than return to
their liberated homes.
At the same time there are
also many Jewish war refugees
who refuse to be repatriated.

Palestinian Scientist
Producing Penicillin

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Dr.
Baruch Levin, who has begun
producing penicillin in Palestine,
described to reporters this week
how his small laboratory here
turns out 10,000,000 units of
crude penicillin every month. He
said that four times as much
could be produced if additional
facilities were available.
Dr. Levin is able to produce
only penicillin which can be used
externally, because of his limited
laboratory facilities. However,
even with this limitation, physi-
cians report extraordinary re-
sults have been achieved with
both human beings and animals.
