A State Federation of junior organizations of the Reform Congregations of Pennsylvania was organized at the Youth Conference held yesterday.
Fifty delegates from Philadelphia and sixty-three from Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Lancaster, York, Reading, Altoona, Easton, McKeesport and Erie attended.
The discussion brought out many references to Nazi treatment of the Jews and problems of anti-Semitism. Rabbi Louis Wolsey, of Congregation Rodeph Shalom, presided at the afternoon session.

The following officers of the federation were elected: President, Edward L. Frater; first vice-president, Robert Baer; second vice-president, Albert Freedman; corresponding secretary, Miss Sylvia Goldstein; recording secretary, Miss Maizie Weisman; treasurer, Emil Cohn.
