The Interim Committee of the American Jewish Conference will meet here on Dec. 29 to implement the decision to establish a permanent organization reached at the fourth session of the Conference in Chicago on Dec. 1, it was announced today. The first step will be to set up a national election board to organize and direct the election of delegates to the new body. Preparation for the bolding of elections is expected to begin in January.
“Acting on the Chicago mandate, the Conference is continuing to pursue its ##ectives in the defense of Jewish rights overseas, securing restitution, working of the problems of displaced Jews, pressing for the adoption of an international bill ## human rights, while it simultaneously lays the groundwork for the permanent ##y,” the announcement said.The Chicago parley did not decide to convert the present American Jewish Conference into a permanent organization, the announcement pointed out. The meeting improved the establishment of a permanent organization on the basis of the plan drafter by the Committee on Future Organization and charged the Conference with implementing this project. The Conference will continue to function until the new organization is set up, when it will hand over all of its assets to the new body.
