Committee's work "in combatting
prejudice, defending the civil
and religious rights of Jews, and
promoting good will among men
of all faiths" was voiced by
President Truman in a letter to
Judge Joseph Proskauer, presi-
dent of the Committee.
President Truman, declaring
that the Committee 'is "working
for ideals that belong to the
American way of life," said that
the organization's "efforts in this
regard command the sympathy
and respect o_f all good citizens,
regardless of race or creed. -
"I congratulate you," the Presi-
dent said, "on the years you
have already devoted to your
purpose, and wish you increas-
ing success -in the years .ahead."
Responsibility of UNO
Immediate resettlement of the
displaced Jews of Europe on a
permanent basis is the problem
confronting the United Nations,
a problem of much greater sig-
nificance than that .of improving
the displaced . persons camps
where they now reside, Herman
Gray, professor at law at New
York University, reported.
Prof. Gray, who has just re-
turned from Europe, is one of
the group of four representatives
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee who made an inspection of
the displaced persons camps un-
der the auspices of the UNRRA.
Judge Proskaver was re-elect-
ed president, and Henry Wine-
man, vice-president.
