Dr. A. Syngalowski, chairman of the executive of the World ORT Union, returned to Geneva today following the completion of an agreement with the Joint Distribution Committee. Details of the agreement will be made public this week.
Dr. Syngalowski lauded the JDC leaders for their wholehearted cooperation. He emphasized that the ORT Union budget for 1956 is $4,000,000. The organization, he said, is now embarking upon a new project of training skilled foremen for Israeli industrial enterprises. He also pointed out that the ORT budget for Israel has considerably increased in view of the increase in salaries voted in Israel for intellectual workers including staff members of the ORT institutions.
