JWB Adopts Reorganization Plan;
Elects Litt as President; Hears
Klutznick's 'Communal Order' Plea

MIAMI BEACH, (JTA)—The
biennial convention of the Na-
tional Jewish Welfare Board
concluded here with the adop-
tion of a budget of $1,520,275
for 1963 and one of $1;591,475
for 1964.
The convention approved a
series of recommendations to
enable the organization to meet
the 'rapidly changing needs of

"While no one in the Ameri-

posed such control," Mr. Klutz-
nick said, "some persons would
reach in the direction of a kind
of order that would tend to
sublimate many tried and true
institutions to a purpose and a
method which would destroy
much creativity and initiative
as the price for a 'single one
voice.' This I would deplore
with all the strength at my
command."
Despite this position, he
added, he was not ready "to
accept the conclusion that we
cannot better our community
collaboration and cooperation.
I would welcome a representa-
tive group of experienced and
