A conference of Hebrew writers and journalists of Poland and the Baltic countries will be held in Warsaw some time during the winter, it was announced here.
The decision to call the conference was adopted at a meeting of Hebrew writers in Prague which was called at the suggestion of Judas Warshawiak, vice-president of the Association of Polish Hebrew Writers.
