The United Jewish Appeal’s annual national conference preparatory to its 1955 nationwide campaign opens tomorrow at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel with more than 1,200 delegates in attendance, representing principal cities throughout the United States.
The major task facing the conference is to determine the extent of aid American Jews can make available, through the 1955 UJA campaign, for immigrant resettlement in Israel, welfare and rehabilitation programs in behalf of distressed Jews in European and Moslem countries, and for the reception and absorption of newcomers to the United States.
