The service of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to Jewish causes both in Israel and in other countries was lauded here last night at a press conference arranged by the Israeli Journalists Association to welcome Jacob Landau, managing director of the J.T.A., who is now visiting the Jewish state.
Joseph Heftman, president of the Association, spoke of the important role which the J.T.A. has played in Jewish life for an entire generation and stressed Landau’s contribution to the development of the organization. Joseph Gravitzky, head of the government’s press office, also praised Landau’s achievements and stressed the value of the J.T.A. in placing Jewish news in the general press. Landau reported on the growth of the J.T.A. and on the Agency’s plans for the future.
