The mid-winter conference of Hadassah concluded here today with a resolution appealing to the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations to urge the Government of Morocco “to remove the ominous restraints and repressive actions against Jews and to halt the fostering of such action through pernicious and inflammatory propaganda.”
Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer, former vice-president of the Washington Post, said she would help to raise the $4,000,000 needed to finish the building of the Medical School in the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center located at Kiryat Hadassah on the outskirts of Jerusalem. The center will be opened June 6.
Mrs. Meyer, who visited Israel recently, said that Israel was as important to the United States and to the free world as the United States was to Israel. She urged support of Israel not only by American Jewry but also by the Government and the people of the United States.

Benjamin, national chairman of Hadassah’s Vocational Education Committee, reported that a special program of supplementary training in pedagogy for Arab women teachers has been started at Beurim, the Hadassah Youth Aliyah Rural Vocational Center at Kfar Vitkin. Mrs. Max Schenk, Hadassah’s national Youth Aliyah chairman, reported on that phase of the organization’s activities.
