A resolution favoring representation of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds on the governing bodies of the United Palestine Appeal was adopted yesterday at a meeting of the U.P.A. executive committee. The resolution, adopted unanimously, reads:

“The executive committee, having heart the progress report rendered by the representatives of the Keren Hayesod and the Jewish National Fund on the subject of widening the basis of representation on the governing bodies of the United Palestine Appeal, resolves that the executive committee views with favor the inclusion on the governing bodies of the U.P.A. of representatives of Jewish communities, welfare funds and federations up to one-third of the membership of such governing bodies by a procedure to be determined in consultation with recognized leaders of communities and welfare funds over the nation. The executive committee recommends this plan to the Keren Hayesod and the J.N.F. for approval and early action by their governing bodies.”
