Delegates representing hundreds of Jewish organizations meeting today at a conference of the National Council of Fraternal and Landsmanshaften Organization sponsored by Yeshiva College at the Hotel Commodore, adopted a resolution commending President Roosevelt for his “sympathetic expression” in favor of Palestine as a Jewish National Homeland and urging Congress to adopt the pending Palestine resolution.
The conference heard Congressman Emanuel Celler and many distinguished educators and Jewish leaders, pay tribute to Yeshiva College and hailed the efforts to expand the college as symbolic of democracy’s determination “to preserve its spiritual heritage and uphold the traditions of culture in a war-torn world.”
