A nation-wide campaign for $450,000 to provide technical and agricultural training for victims of anti-Semitism and economic discrimination in Poland, Germany, Rumania and other Eastern and Central European countries was launched today by the American ORT Federation.
B. Charney Vladeck, New York City Councilman, is national chairman, and campaign committees comprising prominent men and women of all faiths are now being organized in large cities of the United States.
The fund, Mr. Vladeck said, is necessary for the continued maintenance of the 137 ORT trade schools, courses and shop training classes, 137 cooperative factories and workshops and 138 agricultural colonies in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Rumania, Russia, Germany and France, to promote productive trades among thousands of men and women.
