The Board of Deputies of British Jews held a special session last night at which it adopted a resolution congratulation Queen Elizabeth II upon her accession to the throne. The Board also invited the Anglo-Jewish Association to join with it in the resolution and in the presentation of an address to the new Queen incorporating the sentiments of the resolution.
Dr. Abraham Cohen, president of the Board, eulogized the late Jacob Landau, founder of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, declaring that Mr. Landau was “chiefly responsible for making the JTA the acknowledged news service for Jews throughout the world. “He also said that Mr. Landau had possessed “outstanding qualities” and that his death was a “great loss to Jewish journalism.”
