Fighting the Battle of Supply Dutch War Orphan 1Flies to U.S. Uncle By DR. JOSEPH HYMAN Executive Vice-President of JDC More than 10,000,000 pounds of supplies, half of it foodstuffs, were shipped by the J.D.C. from the United States alone to Jewish sur- vivors in nearly 50 countries over- seas during the first six months of 1 6. Valued at nearly $4,000,000, tt e supplies included clothing c ting more than $2,000,000; sixty b Ilion units of penicillin and other diligs; tons of quick-energy food- stuffs; quantities of household ar- ticles, blankets, pots and pans; medical equipment; and thousands of dollars worth of tools and raw materials for use in JD.C.-sup- .ported vocational training proj- ects. These shipments were part of an extensive J.D.C. supplies program providing relief goods to distressed Jews throughout the world. In ad- dition to the J.D.C.'s extensive purchases in the United States, goods are purchased in Europe and through cooperating agencies in S)titli America. Canada. Australia and South Africa. Other sources of the J.D.C. supplies shipments are the contributions of these co- operating agencies and relief-in- kind donations to the J.D.C.'s SOS (Supplies for Overseas Survivors) campaign. the nationwide drive to collect 20.000.000 pounds of con- tribut,:d relief goods. tries overseas are distributed by 195 J.D.C. overseas staff workers., In the displaced persons camps of Germany, Austria and Italy, J.D.C. assistance is supplementary to UNRRA and Army aid. Into the camps, for - distributing among the Jewish survivors, the J.D.C. has shipped this year more than 42,000 food packages, each containing twelve items: split peas, coffee, fat, candy, salami, prunes, baby foods, tea, tinned meat, soap, evaporated milk and dried peaches. But 75 per cent of the Europe's Jews live in countries where no Army or UNRRA help is available. In Hungary and Rumania, thou- sands of Jews look to the J.D.C. for basic relief—for their daily bread, for shoes, for medicine. In Poland, where 140.000 Jews have recently returned from years of wartime haven in Asiatic Russia, the J.D.C. has distributed tons of quick-energy foodstuffs. fats and oils, vitamin tablets by the million. condensed milk, butter, fish and meat. In all, J.D.C. food ship- ments from the United States alone so far this year would have fed the entire state of Delaware for over a week.
