PHILADELPHIA (JTA)
— Considerable national
concern was expressed re-
cently when the March of
Dimes announced it is cut-

March 24 edition of the
Jewish Exponent by staff

Exponent, explained his
program is funded solely by
the Delaware Valley chap-
ters of the National Tay-
Sachs and Allied Disease

lied on March of Dimes sup-

port.
Dr. Eugene Grebner, di-
rector of laboratories of the
Tay-Sachs Prevention
Program, said he believes
the March of Dimes decision
may have more far-
reaching effects.
