The 27th anniversary of the American Joint Distribution Committee was marked today by a broadcast over the Columbia Broadcasting System network which featured an address by Edward M. M. Warburg, Chairman of the JDC, and the reading by Frederic March, screen actor, of a poem written especially for the program by the noted novelist Robert Nathan.
Mr. Warburg in his address pointed out that the JDC gave direct help to more than a million war sufferers in 1940 and is now operating in fifty countries all over the world.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
