JDC's European Officials
To Report at ec. 9 Parley

Findings of Investigators into Condition of Surviving Jews
to Feature 3 I st Annual Meeting in New York; Cost of
1946 Relief Program to Be Told

NEW YORK—The needs of
Europe's surviving Jews and the
cost of carrying out a program
of relief and reconstruction in
1946, based on the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee's investigations
into the situation confronting
Jews on the continent, will be
presented at the 31st annual JDC
meeting on Sunday, Dec. 9, at
Hotel Commodore.
Three of JDC's chief European
representatives will return to the
U. S. to address the meeting.
Latest addition . to this group is
Reuben B. Resnik, recently deco-
rated in Rome with the Order of
_ the Crown of Italy in recognition
of his "meritorious and distin-
guished service" while carrying
out JDC activities there.
Now in Budapest
Reznik joins Dr. • Joseph J.
Schwartz, chairman of the JDC
European Executive Council, now
in Budapest, and Maj. Edward
M. M. Warburg, former JDC
chairman now in Brussels as spe-
cial representative of the JDC on
the Continent, who will fly back

to the U. S. in time for the meet-
ing.
The reports of Dr. Schwartz
and Major Warburg will feature
Sunday afternoon's session. Dr.
Schwartz will give the first pub-
lic account of investigations, com-
pleted last month, of conditions
among distressed Jews in Poland,
along with a summary of the
findings of his current inquiry in-
to the situation of Hungarian
Jews.
Maj. Warburg will describe a
recent examination by himself
and Dr. Schwartz of the condi-
tion of homeless Jews now living
in the former concentration
camps being used as centers for
displaced persons in Austria and
Germany.
Dr. Joseph C. Hyman, execu-
tive vice chairman of the JDC,
pointed out that while the Joint
Distribution Committee will have
appropriated more than $27,000,-
000 in 1945, the greatest sum in
its history, this has been insuf-
ficient to meet the overseas needs
and has made possible mainly a
program of emergency relief.

Zionists Endorse Large-Scale
Budget for Palestine for 1946

The 48th annual convention of
the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, held in Atlantic City last
week, went on record declaring
that American Jewry must raise
$44,000,000 through the United
Palestine Appeal in 1946 as its
contribution toward the Jewish
Agency's budget of $52,000,000
for next year for Jewish coloni-
zation, . resettlement of refugees
and the ex-servicemen and the
conversion of Palestine into a
Jewish State.
Henry Montor, executive direc-
tor of the United Palestine Ap-
peal. reported at the convention
that the U. P. A. income for 1945
was $12,501,896.
Edgar Ansel Mowrer, ad-
dressing the convention, urged,
"Teach a lesson to politicians
who make pledges they do not
intend to keep."
Weizmann Shocked
When Dr. Chaim Weizmann
said in his address to the conven-
tion: "Bevin's statement has so
shocked me that my depression
has not gone yet, but it will go,"
the delegates interposed: "And so
will Bevin."
Dean Howard LeSourd of
Boston University, director of
the American Christian Pales-
tine Committee, charged that
the State Department "seems
to have no mind of its own
when it • deals with the British
on matters of world policy."
Dean LeSourd, reporting that
the Christian Palestine Commit-
tee comprises more than 2,000
Christian leaders in all walks of
life, referred to the statement of
the late British General Orde
Wingate wh,o died in action in
Burma that "the hope of the Ar-
abs is the Jews" and voiced the
conviction that in spite of set-
backs and disillusionments his
committee is determined to se-
cure ever increasing support for
a Jewish Palestine from the
Christians of America.
State Dept. Interfering
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, who was
elected president of the ZOA,

charged that the State Depart-
ment is again interfering with the
adoption of the Palestine Resolu-
tion by the Senate Foreign Af-
fairs Committee. Secretary of
State Byrnes had met with the
sub-committee and another post-
ponement in action has disturbed
Zionist leaders.
A resolution adopted by the
ZOA convention charged the
British labor government with
flagrant violation of party pledg-
es, of fraud in proposing another
study and declared thapt "we are
dismayed that our government is
lending itself to this chicanery."

Drive Progressing

In a report released by Roger
W. Straus of New York, chair-
man of the combined campaign
of the Union of American He-
brew Congregations and the He-
brew Union College, Mr. Straus
indicates that the campaign for

ROGER W. STRAUS

194-4-45 showed a substantial in-
crease over the preceding year.
He stressed the fact that this
fund-raising effort is not for
large capital gifts but for annual
support of the expanding pro-
gram of the Union and to help
replenish the Endowment Fund
of the College. As the total in-
creases, the college will receive
sufficient funds from the com-
bined campaign to replace capital
funds now being used from the
old Ochs Endowment Fund,
The fiscal year 1944-45 pro-
duced over $330,000 for current
needs, and Hebrew Union Col-
lege received approximately $70,-
000 as its share. This is two and
a half times as much as the cam-
paign could grant HUC the year
before.
The campaign bulletin—Alert
—which was published original-
ly 18 months ago with a circula-
tion of 5,000 now reaches more
than 11,000 individuals per issue.
Jerome L. Levy, national fin-
ance director in charge of the
campaign, is optimistic concern-
ing the, results for 1945-46 which
ends June 30, 1946. He feels
that it will exceed the 1944-45
results by a considerable amount.
