Mrs. Zena Harman, of Israel, a member of Israel’s permanent mission here from 1951 to 1955, and for years one of the most active members of the executive board of the United Nations Children’s Fund, was elected chairman of the UNICEF program committee here this weekend. She will serve for a year as head of the committee which supervises and implements the world-wide UNICEF activities on behalf of mothers and children.

Mrs. Harman, wife of Avraham Harman, Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, was born in London, received her higher education at the London School of Economics, and settled in Palestine in 1940. She is the mother of three children. The same meeting of the UNICEF executive board, which elected Mrs. Harman, also voted a $30,000 allocation for a social service training project in Israel.
