Fox, president of the CJFWF, and includes Philip Bernstein, executive vice president; Theodore Comet, director of overseas services; Lavy Becker of Montreal; Herman Katz of Columbus, Ohio; Hyman Safran of Detroit; Bernhard Schaenen, of Dallas, and Sanford Treguboff of San Francisco. The group was greeted by Moyses Kauffmann and Benno Milnitzky, Brazilian Jewish community leaders.
