A report on the plans made by the National Jewish Welfare Board in providing Jews in the U.S. Armed Services with Passover food and Haggadahs was presented here today by Samuel D. Gerhovitz, JWB executive vice-president.
The Jewish Welfare Board official also reported to the national council meeting of the United Service Grganizations, with which JWB is affiliated, on a mission he has just completed for USO in the Middle East. Mr. Gerhovitz established USO facilities for American servicemen in Turkey. At Istanbul, he formed, for the first time, an armed services committee to work with JWB on behalf of Jewish servicemen.
