tragic note: the only develop-

further and greater cuts is the
slowing of Jewish migration dur-

JDC national council and Judge
general. in a report on JDC aid
during 1966, emphasized that "it
was -an unhappy year — a year in
which the .JDC found itself with-

pointed out that the JDC helped
25,000 fewer people in 1966 than in
1965.

387.000," Jordan reported. "Ap-

country of the world raised the
cost of goods and services to JDC
beyond the stretching point. In the

was forced to make difficult. some-
times dangerous, decisions—to cut
back services, to eliminate entire
programs."
