A 40-page edition of the Jewish Daily Forward, largest Yiddish daily newspaper in the world, devoted to the 90th birthday of its editor-in-chief, Abraham Cahan, was published here yesterday. The edition carries many pages of greetings from national Jewish organizations and leaders of the American labor movement.
Massages from Israel emphasize the contributions which the veteran Jewish editor has made in stimulating American Jewish interest in Israel. Mr. Cahan will be honored at a special luncheon on Saturday at the Hotel Commodore.
