A relief committee for Wilno Jews has been organized here and, working in close cooperation with the Government, is collecting money, clothing and food. Moses Beckelman, a representative of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, has arrived here and is organizing contact between refugees from Poland and their American relatives as well as material relief. He plans to go on to Wilno, newly incorporated into Lithuania by agreement with Soviet Russia.
