Plan Closer Partnership
To Meet '48 Relief Needs

Federations and Welfare Funds Adopt Five-Point Program
for Action; Parley Told Settling 150,000 DPs in
Palestine Will Cost $400,000,000

PITTSBURGH (JTA)—A five-point program was adopt-
ed here at the two-day session of representatives of the 30
largest Jewish communities in the United States called by
the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds to plan
ways and means of meeting the 1948 obligations of American
Jewry to the Jews of Europe and Palestine. The program

.

provides that:
1. The campaign executive
committee of the United Jewish
Appeal on which there is com-
munity representation should
counsel the UJA on the 1948
national goal-setting process in
advance of the Atlantic City
UJA conference and, subse-
quently, on the procedure for
establishing local quotas.
2. For this purpose repre-
sentatives of the 30 large com-
munities not already directly
represented on the executive
committee should be invited to
serve in an advisory capacity.
3. In order to achieve the
common purpose of the UJA
and the communities there
should be a closer working
partnership between them
through more frequent meet-
ings and greater use of the ex-
ecutive committee by the UJA
for all policy decisions by
which the communities are di-
rectly or indirectly affected.
4. For the same ends there
should be greater use by the
communities of their represen-
tatives on that committee in
funneling through them their
suggestions for improved co-
operative relationships for more
effective campaigns.
5. And for the same purpose
the community representatives
should report regularly to their
communities and to the Council
regions which selected them.
Speakers at the parley, who in-
cluded economists and social wel-
fare experts, outlined the magni-
tude of the task at home and
abroad. Isador Lubin, chairman
of the Technical Advisory Com-
mittee of the Council's Institute
on Overseas Studies, declared that
much will depend on other
sources in addition to American
Jewish voluntary agencies—the
IRO, reparations and the restitu-
tion of heirless Jewish property
by various governments. An-
other factor which will increase
the 1948 relief budgets is the in-
crease of world prices, which he
estimated to have risen 30 per-
cent.
Economists Robert Nathan
and Oscar J. Gass estimated the
cost of resettling 150,000 dis-
placed European Jews in Pal-
estine during the next two
years, as proposed by UNSCOP,
would amount to $400,000,000.
This sum, which would include
many transitional and perma-
nent needs, would be in addi-
tion to the operating budget of
the Jewish Agency and would
come from loans, grants, gov-
ernmental and intergovernmen-
tal funds, domestic resources in
Palestine and voluntary con-
tributions.
Soaring relief costs in European
countries where local and dis-
placed Jews require aid was the
greatest problem the JDC had to
contend with, Moses Leavitt, ex-
ecutive vice-chairman said. "The
termination of UNRRA activities
raised the prices of food to such

an extent that the JDC had to in-
crease its food supplementation in
countries where military govern-
ments were meeting basic relief
needs." He added that "unless
voluntary agencies like the JDC
make sufficient supplementations
there may be riots in those areas
this winter."
Joseph E. Beck, executive direc-
tor of the United Service for New
Americans, estimated that his or-
ganization would spend $9,000,000
this year against $2,700,000 in
1946. The JDC will disburse $64,-
000,000 in 1947 against cash re-
ceipts of $52,000,000, while the
United Palestine Appeal will
spend nearly $74,000,000 against
a cash intake of $41,00,000, it was
revealed.

AMG Enacts Restitution
Law to Benefit Nazi Victims

Announcement of a far-reaching property restitution
law, which reputedly will return $2,700,000,000 (pre-war
value) in property to Jews and others victimized by the
Nazis, was made this week by the American Military Gov-
ernment in Berlin.
The law calls for "restitution of properties lost through

transactions under duress arising
from discrimination. because of
race, religion, nationality, ideol-
ogy and political opposition to
National Socialism."
AMG enacted the ruling after
the German legislature in the
American zone refused to pass it.
The Germans were said to have
feared the law would be "tin-.

popular."
Application of the law can be
enforced only in the American
zone and American-controlled
Bremen. The French, however,
are reported ready to announce a
similar law, and the British are at
work on another. Whether the
Russians have comparable plans
was not known.

Community Chest Freidele Oisher to be Featured

Approaches Goal In Latest Yiddish Play Nov. 25

In Closing Days

Eighty-eight per cent of the
1947 Community Chest goal was
reported last Tuesday at the final
report luncheon of the drive, with
the closing dinner scheduled for
Wednesday evening.
Tuesday's figure was $4,714,173.
Workers at the luncheon heard
David J. Klaus, 17-year-old Eagle
Boy Scout, describe his experi-
ences at the world Boy Scout
Jamboree held last summer in
Paris, France. Scouts in France
must support their own move
ment and pay all their own ex-
penses, Klaus revealed, while
American Boy Scouts are aided
by appropriations from the Com-
munity Chest and similar drives
throughout the country. A senior
at Central High School, Klaus is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris
Klaus of 3045 Lawrence.
At the closing dinner, which
was sponsored by the General
Motors Corp. and the Ford Mo-
tor Co., John R. Davis, chairman
of the '47 drive, reminded the
workers, "Throughout the year,
look for the sign of the Red
Feather. When you see this sym-
bol of service, remember that by
your contribution on one day
you have helped keep the serv-
ices of the Red Feather agency
available 12 months of the year."
Although 30,000 - volunteers
were at work during the cam-
paign, Chest directors realize
that it was impossible to reach
every member of the community.
Persons who were not solicited
are asked to send their contribu-
tions to the Detroit Community
chest, 51 W. Warren.

37 'Illegal' Ships
Held by British
In Last 2 Years

LONDON (JTA)—Thirty-seven
vessels attempting to run the
Palestine blockade with visa-less
immigrants, have been appre-
hended during the past two years,
Lt. Col. D. Rees-Williams, Under-
secretary for Colonies, announced
in Commons. He added that pro-
ceedings had been started in most
cases to confiscate the ships.
Addressing a meeting of the
Council of the Anglo-Jewish
Association, Leonard Stein, its
president, voiced apprehension
concerning the consequences of
British withdrawal from Pale-
stine in the event that the United
Nations cannot arrive at a solu-
tion of the problem.
The Council adopted an
amended constitution permitting
the corporate affiliation of other
bodies -including synagogues, The
motion was carried despite a
warning from Acting Chief Rabbi
of the British Empire, Harris M.
Lazarus, that such affiliations
might lead to communal dis-
organization and the breaking
up of the Board of Deputies of
British Jews.

Fein berg's Study at
Boy's Republic Text
Of Magazine Article

Culminating a 12-year study
of 872 boys at Boys' Republic,
Henry .Feinberg, staff psycholo-
gist of the Jewish Social Service
Bureau, has reported his findings
in an article entitled "Achieve-
ment of a Group of Socially
Maladjusted Boys as Revealed by
the Stanford Achievement Test,"
which appears in the November
issue of the Journal of Social
Psychology.
The study reveals that, gen-
erally speaking, maladjusted boys
will score comparatively high in
reading and low in arithmetic
or any other test that requires
exactitude in thinking.
In order to determine whether
significant comparisons can be
made between boys whose prob-
lems require placement in an in-
stitution and children able to
benefit from foster home care,
Feinberg is now conducting a
series of tests of boys and girls
in orphan homes, normal children
with healthy home environments,

and foster children.
