of aiding needy Jews through-
out the world, and stressed the
fact that not only are needs
diminishing, but at this moment
only the JDC is able to provide
the aid which is vitally needed."
Governor-elect Averell Har-
riman, addressing the 40th an-
niversary Founders' Dinner of
the -MC, said that "the con-
tinuation of our restrictive
immigration policy is not only
morally evil, it is, from the
point of view of our gaining
friends in the battle for dem-
ocracy, a stupid blunder." Mr.
Harriman noted that the
number of actual refugees and
escapees who have been ad-
, mitted to the United States
under the Refugee Relief Act
is "minuscule." "I can only
hope that in its coming ses-
sion the Congress of the
United States will review and
drastically revise the McCar-
ran-Walter Act, and the Refu-
gee Relief Act, too," he said.

with vocational training and
cultural, religious and educa-

i 000 in Europe, including thou-
sands of disabled refugees and
their dependents, to whom vir-
tually all emigration opportuni-

! ship with other groups" in pro-
viding aid to the needy in many
