• Center Workers
Demonstrate for
New Wage Talks

The picket line at the door of
the main Jewish Community
Center, Woodward and Holbrook,
last Monday, was designed to
focus the community's attention
on the Center workers' request
for collective bargaining, to
gain wage increases, an officer
of the Center local of the Social
Service Employees Union,
UOPWA, told The Jewish News.
Professional, clerical and
maintenance employes were in-
cluded in the demonstration,
which was termed "a legally-
, declared state of dispute—not - a
• strike" by the unnamed union
leader.
The union's appeal for rene-
gotiation on its existing contract
and particularly for bargaining
on the wage issue has been be-
fore the Center's board of di-
rectors for seven months, the
union spokesman declared. Cen-
ter staff wages are lower than
those paid in city social service
agencies, she added.
Officers of the Center de-
clined to comment on the dem-
onstration, but indicated that a
full statement .from the Center
board would be forthcoming in
the immediate future. It was
learned from reliable sources,
however, that the Center has
been making every effort to
straighten out the wage issue.
The Community Center, as a
Red Feather agency, is financed
by the Community Chest (Unit-
ed Foundation), which must ap-
prove the Center budget.

Jewish Agency,
Revisionists Sign
No-Campaign Pact

NEW YORK—The Jewish
Agency announced the signing
of an agreement with the Tel
Hai Fund, central fund of the
World Zionist Revisionist Or-
ganization, under the terms of
which all Americal affiliates of
the latter will cease campaign-
ing for funds or materials for
any Israel purposes during 1950.
Under the agreement, the
Zionist Revisionist Organization
has been granted a sum of
money to be used for construc-
tive work in Israel. The alloca-
tion is in addition to the
amounts normally spent by the
Jewish Agency in behalf of the
members of the Revisionist
movement in the course of the
Agency's regular colonization,
immigration, absorption a n d
Youth Aliyah program.
The agreement bans the col-
lection of funds or materials for
Israel by all organizations di-
rectly or indirectly affiliated
with the Zionist Revisionist
Movement, among which are:
American Committee for Na-
tional Child Centers in Israel,
Palestine Pioneers Foundation,
Inc., American Committee for
the National Sick Fund of Pal-
estine, Tel Hai Fund, Brit
Trumpeldor of America, Inc.,
and the. League for Jewish Na-
tional Labor in Palestine.
The agreement is the latest
of a series previously reached
with the Mizrachi Palestine
Fund (including Hapoel Hamiz-
rachi), Constructive Fund of
World Confederation of Gener-
al Zionists, World Agudath Is-
rael, World Union of Poale Agu-
dath Israel. These agreements
similarly ban American affili-
ates of these movements from
campaigning for funds or ma-
terials for Israel purposes dur-
ing 1950.

Population Increase Cuts
Jerusalem Water Supply

JERUSALEM — (JTA) — The
water supply in Jerusalem has
been cut 12 percent and water
stocks are being distributed to
each city district every nine
days.
The cut was made necessary
principally because of the in-
crease in Jerusalem's popula-
tion and the expanded building
program. A new pipeline to dou-
ble the city's present water sup-
ply is scheduled to be completed
soon.
Dr. Dov Joseph, Minister of
Supply and Rationing, declared

raelis are better fed than many
Europeans." He addressed par-
ticipants in a ceremony mark-
ing the turning over to the Min-

which has been conducted by
Hadassah for the past 20 years.

UN Group Votes
Convention on
Missing Persons

LAKE SUCESS—(JTA) — The
United Nations conference on
Declarations of Death of Miss-
ing Persons, a meeting unique
in the history of the world or-
ganization, ended by unani-
mously adopting an interna-
tional convention on the issu-
ance of death certificates for
persons missing as a result of
war or persecution. The vote
was 20 to .0, Yugoslavia abstain-
ing.
The convention is of great im-
portance to Jews because of the
disappearance and unrecorded
death of millions of European
Jews and the resultant confu-
sion in family relations and in-
heritance.
Four of the 20 articles of the
convention were authored by the
delegate of Israel, Jacob Robin-
son. Following the vote the
delegates signed a letter of
transmittal to governme n.t s
which will accompany the con-
vention, but six representatives
emphasized that their signa-
tures carried no commitment in
Tespect to accession to the cove-
nant by their governments.
The instrument is open to ac-
cession by all UN member states
and by all non-member states
invited to ratify it by the UN
Economic and Social Council.
The convention will come into
force 90 days after the second
ratification.
