The distribution committee of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, according to a statement issued by Dr. Solomon Lowenstein, executive director of the Federation, is now holding hearings to determine the budgetary allotment to be made to each of the ninety-one affiliated institutions for the current year. While no definite figures are yet available, Dr. Lowenstein estimated that the committee would recommend to the trustees of the Federation a budgetary allowance in excess of $4,500,000 toward the gross budget of more than $8,000,000. The balance comes from endowments, activities and payments by the city.
On the distribution committee are Dr. Harry G. Friedman, chairman: Walter E. Beer, Dr. Lee K. Frankel, Benjamin F. Feiner, I. Edwin Goldwasser, Col. H. A. Guinzburg, Cyrus L. Sulzberger and Ludwig Vogelstein.
