'Between You
. . and Me'
(Copyright, 1965, JTA, Inc.)
PERSONALITY PROFILE: The withdrawal of Edward M. M.
Warburg from chairmanship of the Joint Distribution Committee—
after holding this leadership post for 25 years — will be regretted
not only by Jews in this county but also in Israel, Europe and in all
countries where the JDC has been providing relief and rehabilitation.
. . . Warburg will, of course, as honorary chaiman, continue to be
closely associated with the JDC to which he devoted many of his
years even before he became national chairman. . . . To him, the
JDC has become a tradition deeply rooted with his parents, the late
Felix and Frieda Warburg, and with his grandfather, the much
revered Jacob Schiff. . . . Devoted as he was to other important causes
— Jewish and non-Jewish — Edward Warburg's major interest was
the Joint Distribution Committee. . . Especially since his return
from the war front where, as a major of the U.S. armed forces, he
was among the first to witness the liberation of the Jews from Nazi
camps by the American Army .. . He carried the burden of the JDC
in the most crucial years of Jewish history, when millions of Jews
were actually in need of the kind of aid which only the JDC could
give them . . . The rescue of Jews from Nazi hands during the war
years, the bringing back to normal life of the Jews who miraculously
remained alive in the Nazi camps, the aiding of thousands of them to
reach Palestine despite British obstacles — all this was uppermost on
the mind of "Eddie," as he is affectionately called by his countless
number of friends who consider him a symbol of all that is noble .. .
Then came the establishment of Israel and with it the mass-migration
of Jews to Israel aided by the JDC; the taking out by planes of entire
Jewish communities from Arab countries where their life was in
danger; the establishment by the JDC of its Malben program aiding
aged and sick; the restoration of Nazi-destroyed Jewish communities
in European countries . .. In all these colossal and historic develop-
ments, Warburg stood in the center . . . One could find him in the
JDC office in New York every morning from the early morning
flours, keeping his finger on the pulse of the needs of overseas
Jewry . . . Evenings and weekends he spent mostly in addressing
audiences throughout the country stimulating them to take maximum
interest in the United Jewish Appeal and in the JDC.
ISRAELI PLAN: The problem of the Palestine Arab refugees has
been annoying Israelis . . . For many years now, the refugees have
been in the care of a United Nations agency, known as the UN Relief
and Works Agency . . . The budget of that agency is covered to a
great extent by the United States, which is now urging the extension
of the existence of the UNRWA until 1969 . . . When the UNRWA
started its relief activities for the Palestine Arab refugees, their
number was about 600,000 . . . Now the list of these refugees has
grown to nearly 1,300,000 because new births are always registered,
but deaths, emigration and the refugees who are becoming self-support-
ing are not ... Dr. Lawrence Michelmore, UNRWA chief, in his latest
report to the United Nations, deals with the problem of Arab non-
vooperation in the elimination from the agency's relief rolls of the
names of the refugees who died, or emigrated, or are now earning
a living and therefore are in no need of relief ... He posed the question
what to do with the grandchildren of the original refugees of 1948
whom he calls "the third generation." . . . Israel has told Dr. Michel-
more that it objects to perpetuating the Arab refugee problem by
saving the third generation taken care of by the UNRWA . . . I.
Harari, an Israeli parliamentarian, put forward a plan to deal with
the refugees . . . Instead of handing out money to the refugees through
a United Nations relief agency, he suggests that the contributing
states, of which the U.S. is the largest, should hand this money
over directly to the Arab countries in which territory the refugees
. . . The Arab governments could then themselves handle the aid
money and dole it out to the refugees . . . This would have two advan-
tages: first, the subject would no longer appear annually on the
United Nations agenda; and if any refugees felt they were being
wronged, it would be up to the Arab governments to deal with this
.. Questions of eliminating dead refugees from the relief rolls would
then automatically be dealt with.

Otherwise, "The Legion of

of good distribution.
Sweeney was assigned by the
man who was his captain in the
army, Sherman Wettlaufer, to tour
the world to gather data about
Christians who had aided Jews
during the Nazi era.
Wettlaufer lived in dreaded fear
of what might happen to his son
every time he looked at him. Re-
calling the horrors of Hitlerism,
he was driven to panic. The result
of his concern was the assignment
he gave to Sweeney, to be filled
at any cost.
Sweeney traveled through Eu-
rope, gathered data from men and
women who were active in rescue
efforts in Germany, Belgium,
France, Italy.
In the course of his experi-
ence, he came across Commu-
nists who followed the party
line and an atheist who accused
him of trying to whitewash the
Church with his documentations.

20,000 Professionals Get
Wage Hike in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Twenty
thousand Israeli professionals em-
ployed by the government and in
public institutions were granted
an 18 per cent salary increase,
retroactive to April 1964. The in-
crease will affect engineers, doc-
tors, teachers, chemists, econo-
mists and journalists.
The wage hike was granted by
the ministerial committee on
wages which has been studying
the demands of other professionals
besides engineers for parity in
salaries paid to all professional
and administrative personnel.
The new salaries are to be
linked to the wage scales already
established for engineers and for
other professionals given increases
during the past several months.
