See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

Lady Marley, wife of the deputy leader of the British House of Lords, arrived here today and said she would make a lecture tour of the United States in behalf of the $100,000 campaign of the ORT, organization for Jewish vocational retraining.

Lady Marley reported that many trade schools were being established in England to teach Jewish refugees useful trades enabling them to take a place in industry.

Lord Marley, who is vice-chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee on Refugees, is also here, to see that anti-Nazi internees brought from England to camps in Canada are well cared for. Some of the internees are to be returned to England.
