Support of the United Jewish Appeal was pledged in a resolution adopted here at the closing session of he three-day national conference of the American Association of English-Jewish Newspapers. Earlier, the parley adopted a resolution promising its support to the Israeli bond drive in the United States.
The conference appointed a committee to prepare a plan for the enforcement of a code of advertising for the English-Jewish newspaper field. It re-elected Philip Slomovitz of Detroit president and Leo H. Frisch of Minneapolis treasurer. Mr. Slomovitz and Mr. Frisch were also elected president and treasurer, respectively, of a new news-and-feature service which the conference voted to launch.
The Association pointed out that its own service is not intended to compete with existing Jewish press services but was “designed to fill specific needs of the English-Jewish press.” The convention adopted a resolution reaffirming the importance of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to American Jewry and urged support of the J.T.A. by the American Jewish community.
