The Joint Distribution Committee has been informed that the Rumanian Government, after paying 100 lei daily toward maintenance of refugees from Poland for about two weeks, has suddenly discontinued these disbursements. As a result, support of the refugees has been left entirely in the hands of the local Jewish Relief Committee. In reply to an appeal from the committee, the J.D.C. has allocated a substantial monthly sum for maintenance and another sum as a one-time contribution for the purchase of clothing.
