Secretary of State Dean Acheson was urged today to include the problem of securing justice for Jewish victims of Nazi persecution on the agenda which is now being discussed in Paris by delegations of the Big Powers in preparation for a British-American-French-Russian conference. A telegram to this effect was sent to Secretary Acheson by Dr. Israel Goldstein, chairman of the Western Hemisphere section of the World Jewish Congress.

The World Jewish Congress today announced the submission of a request that United Nations economical and technical assistance to underdeveloped countries be granted only on condition that such aid be “equally available” to all inhabitants without discrimination as to race or religion. The request was submitted by Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig, the W.J.C. representative, to the U.N. Economic and Social Council now meeting at Santiago, Chile.

The American Jewish Committee today announced that Maximo Yagupsky, Latin American representative of the organization, left by plans for Santiago to attend the current session of the U.N. Economic and Social Council there. He will represent the Consultative Council of Jewish Organizations which is composed of the American Jewish Committee, the Anglo-Jewish Association of Britain and the Alliance Israelite Universelle of France.
