NEW YORK:—There . is room
in Palestine for all- of Eur9pe's
homeless Jews but the "assist-
ance of the Jews of America is
needed now more than ever be-
fore to make this program pos-
sible," Judith Beilin, former
English stage star who gave up
her theatrical career to marry an
official of the Jewish: Agency
and live in Jerusalem, said at a
press conference at the .national
haadquarters of the $170,000,000-
campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal.
"Every Jewish man, woman
and child living in Palestine is
ready and anxious to do every-
thing in their power to give Eu-
rope's Jewish survivors, too long
displaced, their rightful place in
the sun," Mrs. Beilin said.
Mrs. Benin, assistant controller
of English programs for the Pal-
estine Broadcasting Service and
Palestine's outstanding woman
newscaster- and Shakespearean
actress, came to the United States
to campaign. She will visit lead-
ing American cities in behalf of
the UJA drive.
Funds for the committee's relief,
reconstruction and migration ac-
tivities . are provided by the
$170,000,000 UJA campaign.
Mr. Rosen, working with the
JDC in the Netherlands, Belgium,
France and Italy, helped in the
evacuation of over 30,000 refugee
Jews from Europe between 1939
and 1942. In September, 1942, he
was -named Civil Affairs Officer
of the Atlantic Base Section of
the U. S. Army. Mr. Rosen ac-
cepted another government mis-
sion in 1944 in Turkey, frpm
which he returned early this
year.

After more than a year as members of the UNRRA team direct-
ing the Displaced Persons Camp at Zeilsheim, Germany, Mr. and
Mrs. David B. Levin bring to Detroiters a discouraging picture
of the plight of the thousands of Jews seeking to attain some sub-
stance of normal living under completely abnormal circumstances.
