Congress was urged today not to curtail or reduce the program of the Agency for international Development in an address by Mrs. Siegiried Kramarsky, national president of Hadassah, delivered at the opening session of the three day mid winter conference of the organization. More than 200 Hadassah leaders from all parts of the country are attending the conference. “The Agency for International Development still has an important role to play in promoting the development of tree nations until they become self-supporting, Mrs. Kramarsky said.
The session also was addressed by Dr. Miriam K. Freund, former national president of Hadassah, who now heads Hadassah’s National Affairs Committee. She announced that in order to counteract the “lack of understanding of Zionist purposes and ideals among Jews in this country,” Hadassah is embarking upon a special program “to inform and educate” American Jews as to the importance of Zionism in terms of “community life.”
