the aid to the elederly, the
assistance given for youth
activities,, integration of new
immigrants which would be
weakened without JDC and
ORT aid, the schooling pro-

governmental duties to hos-
pitals, *child care agencies,
schools, etc. The acting chair-
man of the Jewish Agency for
Israel, Leon Dulzin, summar-
