The Workmen’s Circle, largest Jewish fraternal labor organization in the United States, will build a $100,000 home for displaced Jewish children in France, it was announced here today at the 46th anniversary convention of the organization.
A check for $15,000 was presented at today’s session to Reuben Guskin, president of the group, by the youth division of the organization. The home will be named after the late B. Charney Vladeck, American Jewish labor leader.
Adolph Held, chairman of the Jewish labor Committee, addressing the convention, endorsed the Anglo-American committee’s recommendation for the transfer of 100,000 European Jews to Palestine and called for an early fulfillment of this proposal. He also urged that the United States permit the entry of displaced Jews beyond the regular quotas.
