Moses A. Leavitt, head of the delegation representing the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany at The Hague today announced that a meeting of the presidium of the Conference will be held in New York to deal with the situation arising from the resignation of the two leading members of the West German delegation.
The discussions between the Germans and the Conference delegation were originally scheduled to be resumed today at The Hague, but Mr. Leavitt had informed the German delegation some time ago that the Conference would not resume negotiations until the Bonn Government makes a satisfactory offer to Israel since the Conference is pledged to “full support” of the Israeli claim against Germany.
