Establishment of an American Committee of OSE, the Jewish health protection society, as an emergency branch of the Central OSE Committee in Europe was announced today by Dr. A.J. Rongy, chairman of the American group. The war, the occupation of Paris, where OSE had its headquarters, and the forced emigration a many of its workers necessitated establishment of the American branch, it was said.
The committee will cooperate with the Joint Distribution Committee, which assists the OSE in its work of ameliorating Jewish health conditions in European countries.
Members of the committee include Prof. Albert Einstein, Prof. Milton Rosenau, Dr. Emanuel Libman, Dr. I.S. Wechsler, Dr. Nathan Ratnoff, Dr. A. Brown and Dr. L. Rosenthal. The executive committee includes Dr. Rongy, Dr. B. Pregel, co-chairman; Drs. J.J. Golub and D. Jedwabnik, vice-chairmen; Dr. Chaim Breyner, treasurer, and Dr. L. Wulman, secretary.
