Establishment of a School of Jewish Social Service was urged last night in a resolution adopted by 800 delegates attending the closing session of the National Conference of Jewish Social Welfare.
Other resolutions urged that Fair Employment Practice Committees be established on national, state and local levels, demanded that social workers be included under the provisions of the Social Security Act and asked the Government to give wholehearted support to the United Nations as the only means of preventing a third World War.
Harold Silver, director of the Jewish Social Service Bureau of Detroit, was elected president of the organization; Herschel Alt, of the Jewish Board of Guardians in New York, and Virginia Frank executive director of the Chicago Jewish Social Service Bureau, were named first and second vice-presidents, respectively. Michael Missalson, president of the Amalgamated Bank of New York, was elected treasurer.
