are of the utmost importance the
Lithuanian Federation renders
supplementary aid by reaching
out to groups of Lithuanian Jews
•
who have made direct appeals to
this country for immediate as-
sistance. He csaid • that the relief
fund of his rederation_helps - the
nearly 35,000 Jews in Lithuania
—25,000 in Wilno, 4,000 in Kow-
no and 4,000 in the rest of Lith-

to assist the Children's Home in
Kowno and other institutions in
Lithuania, Mr. Rosowsky said.
"Letters received by the scores
by Detroiters from Lithuanian
Jews indicate the great need,"
Mr. Rosowsky said, "and the
gratitude they express in follow-
up messages indicate what a
splendid fob is being done and
how essential our work is for the
survival of the remnant 61 Lith-
uanian Jews who survived the
Nazi terror. It is sincerely to be
hoped that many Detroit - Jews
will respond to our call, will at-
tend the banquet on. Sunday and
will aid us in our work in the
future."
