JWB Conference\
To Base Budget
On Actual jeeds
PHILADELPHIA — A 1950
budget based on "JWB services
to the actual needs of the Jew-
ish communities" was forecast
by Robert S. Adler, Chicago,
chairman of the National Jewish
Welfare Board's National
Finance Council, which meets
here Oct. 29-31.
Mr. Adler pointed out that the
review of JWB's budget for next
year—the Council's raison d'etre
— is most significant now• in
view of American Jewry's in-
creasing recognition of the need
for buttressing its domestic in-
stitutions.
Adler asserted that JWB's
budget would have to take into
account an ever-increasing de-
mand for JWB services on the
part of Jewish communities and
Jewish 'Communty Centers.
