The work of the Joint Distribution Committee in behalf of Jewish DP’s in Germany was lauded by U.S. commander in Germany Gen. Lucius D. Clay; in a letter made public here today. Addressed to Samuel L. Haber, J.D.C. director for the U.S. zone in Germany, Gen, Clay’s letter praised the “magnificent work which is being done here under you direction.”
Gen, Clay’s note pledged continued cooperation “to the full” on the part of the U.S. Army and the A.M.G. both of which, the letter stated, aimed to aid the J.D.C. “not only to bring a better daily life to the Jewish people in Germany, but also to help prepare then for a future which will offer then freedom and peace.”
