Judge Horace Stern, president of the Federation of Jewish Charities, has announced the personnel of the new Council of One Hundred, which will plan all campaigns for funds, and will devise ways and means of stimulating and maintaining the interest of the public in the Federation.

The plan to democratize the Federation was proposed by Judge Stern last June. It called for the formation of the Council, to be chosen from men and women active in the philanthropic affairs of the city. Each of the 100 members of the Council is to be assigned to one of the Boards of Directors of the institutions that comprise the Federation, to serve for one year as the representative of the Council.
