Return of Dr. Bernstein
Linked to UN Inquiry
FRANKFURT, (JTA) — Rabbi
Philip S. Bernstein, advisor on
Jewish affairs to the U. S. Army
in Germany, returned here from
the U. S., several weeks ahead of
schedule. leading to speculation
his return was connected with
preparations for a possible visit of
the United Natioes inquiry com-
mittee on Palestirk. He travelled
from Washington with Assistant
Secretary of War Howard Peter-
sen. who is in charge of occupied
areas.
Dr. Jacob Golub, chairman of
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee's health department, estimat-
ed $20,000.000 was needed for the
next fiscal year, commencing
July 1, for the medical and health
needs of some 1,50e,000 Jews in
Europe.
Dr. Golub, who is touring
Austria, Germany, France, Po-
land and Czechoslovakia, point-
ed out that the sum is four times
as great as present appropriations.
He declared the medical serv-
ices which exist in Germany and
Austria are "generally good, but
entirely insufficient."
Seven summer camps for dis-
placed Jewish children will be
opened in Germany, it was learn-
ed, under the auspices of the
JDC with the cooperation of the
YMCA and the U. S. Army.
' Each camp will accommodate
- 150 children for a two-week
period. The program is expected
to involve 6,000 children between
.the ages of 6 and 16. Camp lead-
ers from various Jewish organiza-
tions already have been chosen
and are taking a special two-week
course in preparation for the sum-
mer.
