• Boris Smoiar's 'Between You ... and Me' Ehrlich-Pollack Rites Scheduled for Autumn (Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, J.T.A.) (Copyright 1970, JTA Inc.) U.S.'JEWISH ENVOYS: From the very beginning of its establish- ment during World War I, the Joint Distribution Committee has intro- duced the system of sending units of experienced American Jewish social- workers to countries abroad where the organization conducts relief operations. 'I have been privileged to be in close touch with all of these top emissaries, beginning with the late Dr. Boris Bogen who headed the first JDC unit in Poland immediately after World War I, and who established an enviable record for himself and for the JDC in Europe: Outstanding among all the JDC leading men overseas during the years, are—in my book—three personalities who had been looked upon by Jewish communities in Europe not only as providers of relief but also as "ambassadors" of American Jewry. They are Dr. Bernard Kahn, who directed with great distinction the JDC work in Europe between the two world wars; Dr. Joseph Rosen, who headed the Agrojoint in the Soviet Union settling 300.300 "declassed" Jews on land in the Ukraine and in Crimea; and Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, who directed the JDC relief and rehabilitation programs in Europe and North Africa in the most difficult period of World War II and in the post-war years. Dr. Schwartz also brought out the entire Jewish population from distant Yemen, where the Jews lived in degradation for centuries--as well as the Jews from Libya, Iraq and other Arab countries—to a free and productive life in Israel.

He was one of the JDC vice-chairmen even during the years of his service in the UJA and in the Israel Bond Organization. He is a vice-chairman now. In reactivating him, Louis Broido and Samuel L. Haber, chairman and executive vice-chairman of the JDC, respectively, have shown how alert they are to the interests of the organization. Communal experiences of a person like Dr. Schwartz always contribute to good guidance and consultation.

Hur- witz, Director-General for JDC work overseas. Mr. Horwitz establishes that of the 3,500,030 Jews who lived in pre- war Poland there are today only about 8,000 left in the country, fol- lowing the expulsion of 12,000 since the start of the anti-Semitic cam- paign there more than three years ago. Most of the Jews who remained are old, sick and destitute. About a half of the number of the expelled have been assistedby the JDC in Vienna, Rome and Paris while wait- ing for their visas to the United States, Canada and other Western countries. The rest proceeded to Israel immediately upon leaving Poland. The emigration from Poland has now come to a trickle not only because most of the .Jews there have already left, but also be-cause the government is now making great difficulties in issuing exit visas for mixed marriages where the husband is non-Jewish. The JDC is now aiding more than 300 Jews from Poland who are still in Europe— most of them in Rome—waiting for their immigration visas to coun- HANDBAGS Choose from thousands of Handbags.

Sixty-six of them are members of the incoming class, the first for which the prescribed course of studies starts with a year in Israel. The aim of the Year-in-Israel program is two-fold. It enables the students to acquire a high degree of facility in Hebrew and provides them with a maximum of opportuni- ties to gain a well-founded under- standing and appreciation of the land and people of Israel. Concentration on the study of the Hebrew language, special trips to all parts of Israel, contact with Israeli students and work sessions with Israeli leaders in many fields mark the program laid out for the rabbinic students. rnQ KNIT SHOPS Nine Mile at Coolidge .411 OAK PARK Daily 9:30 to 5:30 Sales Final . . .
