Forty-eight thousand Jewish school children in 139 towns face foodless days unless a depleted food fund is replenished, an emergency conference of Jewish school organizations was told today. The conference cabled appeals for aid to the Joint Distribution Committee and the Federation of Polish Jews in America. The conference’s food committee reported the fund had a deficit of 39,000 zlotys ($7,800) and needed 73,000 zlotys to continue feeding the children until the end of the school year.
