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." JNWA Hanukah Fete To Hear M. Goldaftas UAHC, HUC 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. Page Seven Jr. Hadassah Praises Plan To Recruit U. S.
