Three prominent American Jewish communal leaders and a prominent Israeli publisher have been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, it was announced here by William M. Landau, JTA president. The four are Noah Mozes, publisher of one of Israel’s largest dailies, Yediot Achronot; Marvin Schapiro, communal leader in Baltimore; Jacques Torczyner, chairman of the World Jewish Congress-American Section, member of the Jewish Agency and chairman of the administrative board of the Zionist Organization of America; and Paul Zuckerman, of Detroit, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal.
In making the announcement, Landau stated that the appointment of these four Jewish leaders “once again underscores the role of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency as a world-wide news agency and its response to the needs and developments both within Israel and Jewish communities in the diaspora.” Landau also announced that a special meeting of the JTA Board of Directors will be held in Jerusalem on June 19, the first meeting of any JTA Board in the Jewish State.
