400,000 Jews Overseas Need JDC Aid

In 1951 Warburg Tells Annual Meeting

. Edward M. M. Warburg, chair-
man of the Joint Distribution
.Committe since 1945, and re-
cently-elected general chairman
of the 1951 campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal, told 300
.delegates to the 36th annual
JDC conference Saturday, that
"a minumum of 400,000 Jews in
Europe, Moslem areas and Israel
will need JDC's assistance during
1951.
Warburg spoke immediately
after his re-election by accla-
mation as JDC chairman for the
coming year.
Meeting at the Hotel Commo-
dore, the delegates also re-elect-
ed Moses A. Leavitt, executive
vice-chairman, and Dr. Joseph
J. Schwartz, JDC director-gen-
eral for overseas operations for
the past 10 years. At the same
time, Dr. Schwartz was given a
leave of absence to permit him
to assume his new post as execu-
tive vice-chairman of the UJA.
An oversaes director of JDC's
operations is to be designated
shortly.
A resolution adopted by the

conference pledged "our ful ,- ;
lest individual and collective
support" for the 1951 campaign
of the UJA, which raises funds
for JDC, and for other agencies
aiding the Jews in Israel and
the United States.

Main points of the agency's
1951 budget call for: emigration
aid to an estimated 25,000 men,
women and children seeking to
leave for new homes in the
United States, Canada, Australia,
South America and other areas
during the coming year; and
continued relief, welfare, medi-
cal and reconstruction programs
in behalf of hundreds of thou-
sands of Jews in Europe—part-
icularly the DP countries, Hun-
gary and France—and in Moslem
lands in North Africa and the
Near East.
For its relief, reconstruction
and resettlement programs in
19 countries of Europe, North
Africa and the Near East, Leav-
itt reported, JDC appropriated
$36,568,000 in 1950. With this
sum, it was able to provide ur-
gently-needed assistence to some
450,000 men, women and chil-
dren- •

Marking 36 years of human-
itarian service by JDC on be-
half of distressed Jews abroad,
at an expenditure of almost
$500,000,000, the conference
heard chairman Warburg de-
clare that "despite the hun-
dreds of thousands of men,
women and children overseas
to whom our aid-the aid of
American Jewry—has meant
the difference between life and
death since the end of the
war, the developing world sit-;
uation means new perils for
other hundreds of thousands."

than 192,000 imigrant's to new
homes, 180,000 to Israel.
The coming year, Leavitt de-
clared, will see several changes
in JDC work. In 1951, JDC will
assume full financial and ad-
ministrative responsibilities for
M A L B E N, the organization
caring for so-called "hard core"
immigrants to Israel. Founded in
1949, MALBEN has until now
been a joint undertaking of JDC,
the Jewish agency and the Israel
Government.
Dr. Schwartz, who had return-
ed only two days before from a
hurried trip to JDC's European
headquarters in Paris to wind
up his affairs preparatory to as-
suming his new responsibilities
as UJA Executive Vice-Chair-
man, told the delegates that
"what I saw and heard only a
few days ago has reinforced my
feeling that despite all we have
an important part of the task
done in the past five years, an
undertook on Liberation D a y
still remains to be completed."

Turks Deny Jews
Make Up Bulk of
Their Korea Unit

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
Turkish Embassy denied a re-
port that Jewish conscripts
make up 80 percent of the Turk-
ish Army unit serving with the
United Nations fortes in Korea
and that Jewish casualties had
been high. The Embassy press
attache, who said that the
troops in Korea were not volun-
teers but conscripts, estimated
that there are "only 10 or at
most 15 Jews" among the sev-
eral thousands of Turkish troops
in the brigade.
The report, published in Al
Hamishmar, Tel Aviv newspaper
of the left-wing Socialist
Mapam, stated that Jewish
soldiers had been selected from
various Turkish Army units for
inclusion in the expeditionary
force. The newspaper estimated
that the Jews constituted 80 per-
cent of the Turkish unit in
Korea and that Jews had suf 7.
fered many- casualties.

Lack Funds for Rabbi
ISTANBUL, (JTA) — The

search for a new Chief Rabbi of
Turkey to replace the late Rabbi
H. Bedjerano, who died in 1931,

ties. A special committee, which
worked six months on finding a
new Chief Rabbi finally put for,-
ward the name of Dr. Moishe
Ventura; former Chief Rabbi of
Alexandria, once a Turkish citi-
