The 29th annual convention of the Mizrachi Women’s Organization of America closed here today following the election of Mrs. Nachman H. Ebin of New York as president, succeeding Mrs. Joshua L. Lewis.
Earlier, the convention reaffirmed its opposition to the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act and the McCarran Internal Security Act as “blots on the traditional freedoms of immigration and opinion” in America.
The delegates approved a budget of $1,120, 000 for 1955, including $450, 000 for the maintenance and expansion of the children’s villages it operates in Israel; $150,000 for education and training of children in Israel’s immigrant villages; $100,000 to social work projects in Israel, and $200, 000 for the Jewish National Fund for the establishment of a small forest in honor of the organization within the Herzl Forest.
