Hias to Resettle 12,000 Refugees
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
United Hias Service expects to
help resettle about 12,000 Jew-
ish refugees in the United
States, Canada, Australia and
South America during 1958, it
was reported at the 74th annual
meeting of the organization by
Murray I. Gurfein, president.
Gurfein said that last year
United Hias helped some 19,000
Jewish refugees find new homes
in these countries.
The meeting was told that the
organization will need $3,548,-
762 for its 1958 operations as
compared with $3,020,495 spent
last year. Max Ornstein, treas-
urer, emphasized that the trans-
porting of emigrants who are
now leaving Poland, Hungary,
Egypt, and other countries of
Europe and North Africa will
entail large expenditures on the
part of United Hias this year.
In 1957, many of the refugees,
including Hungarian escapees,
were transported by ships and
planes provided by governmen-
tal and intergovernmental agen-
cies.
The meeting adopted a reso-
lution urging that major revi-
sions be made in the basic U.S.
