Plans for a regional conference of Jewish federations and welfare fund groups for the East Central States, under the auspices of the National Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, received impetus at a meeting here attended by William J. Shroder, Cincinnati, national president; Samuel Goldhamer, Cleveland; H. Joseph Hyman, Indianapolis; Maurice J. Sievers, Cincinnati; Charles W. Morris, Louisville; Miss Rose Sugarman, Columbus, Ohio, and George W. Rabinoff of the National Council.
The regional conference will be held at Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 13 and 14, instead of at Cincinnati, as originally announced.
The area to be included in representation at the conference includes all Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg; Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia.
An invitation will be sent to communal leaders in the principal centers of this area to suggest problems that should receive consideration at the Conference, and to personally attend the meetings. These suggestions will be turned over to a program committee.
Miss Sugarman is in charge of arrangements.
