Ralph E. Samuel has been reelected to a third term as president of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, it was announced today by Judge Edward Lazansky, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Jack D. Weiler was elected vice-president.
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, Mayor William O’Dwyer, Senator Herbert H. Lehman, and a host of city officials and leaders of the city’s major sectarian and non-sectarian philanthropies joined in congratulating Mr. Samuel and, through him, the Federation. Its work, they said, is invaluable not only to the 480,000 people the Federation serves each year, but to the health and welfare of both the city and the state.
