More than 300 representatives of Jewish communities throughout the United States will gather here this week-end to attend the 36th annual meeting of the Joint Distribution Committee which will take place on Saturday evening, January 6, at the Hotel Commodore.
A statement issued today by Edward M.M. Warburg, J.D.C. chairman and recently elected general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, said that the conference will adopt a program for continued aid to hundreds of thousands of Jews in Europe, Israel and Moslem areas still in need of help. The delegates will also adopt a proposed budget for 1951 activities of the J.D.C.
“Highlighting the meeting’s deliberations will be first-hand reports by Moses A. Leavitt, J.D.C. executive vice-chairman and one of the world’s outstanding authorities on the problems of Jews overseas; and Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, newly-designated executive vice-chairman of the U.J.A. and for ton years J.D.C.’s overseas director-general,” Mr. Warburg reported. Judge Maurice Bernon, chairman of J.D.C.’s National Council, will report on the domestic scene.
