A number of Jewish observes, sent by American Jewish organizations interested in relief activities, arrived here today from New York on matters connected with the session of the Council of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration which opens tomorrow in this city.

Dr. Joseph Schwartz, European chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee, who is one of the observers, will be the guest of the executive committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress at a luncheon at which he will report on the UNRRA’s influence on the Jewish position and its future in Europe. Other observers represent the World Jewish Congress and other Jewish groups. Only delegates are permitted to attend the conferences of the UNRRA, and the observers work is limited to meeting members of the Council privately.
