WORLD TRAVELER AND LECTURBK TO ADDRESS COUNCIL WOMEN Miss Mary A. DIngiiian "There is such danger of re¬ laxing of effort. The backwash of war reveals the worst ele¬ ments In human nature," says Miss Mary A. DIngman who is an American Interpreter., and student df international affairs, whose work on social and eco¬ nomic questions has taken her all over the world. She speaks authoriatlvely on very many European countries, as well as the Near East, Far East, India and South America since her travels have taken her to forty- six countries in the various con¬ tinents of the world. . Miiss DIngman began her In¬ ternational work in 1917 when she was sent to Europe by the National Board of the YWCA. For her work among the wo¬ men of France, she was twice decorated by the French gov¬ ernment. As honorary presidefit of the Peace and Disarmament Committee of the Woman's In¬ ternational Organizations o f Geneva, Switzerland and Its president from its formation in 1931 to 1939, Miss DIngman is well acquainted with the prob¬ lems of women all over the world. She has worked with the League of Nations In Investi¬ gating the white slave traffic, the opium traffic and the eco¬ nomic status of women. Council of Jewish Women considers Itself Indeed fortunate to have as Its opening guest speaker, ' a woman consecrat, ely devoted to the cause of un¬ iversal peace and to a place for universal womanhood In the political and economic struct¬ ure of the world. So Important is this speaker and so vital her message, that Council urges all members and their friends le^sattend this meeting which is to l)e a membership tea and reception to be held In the ves¬ try of the Bryden Road Tem¬ ple next Tuesday, October 2, at 2 P. M. The public is wel¬ come. Mrs. Robert Blashek is president of the Columbus sec¬ tion. B'nai B'rith Hillel Alumni Meeting Sunday at 8 P. M. This Sunday, Sept. 30, at 8 P. M., the first fall meeting of the Columbus IJlUel Alumni Organization will take place at the Hillel Foundation, 48-16th Ave. All Ohio State University HUlel Alumni, aa well as Alum¬ ni of other Hillels throughout the country, are welcome. Many people have requested the formation of such a group (Continued, on Page Four) Refugee Board Recommends Official U. S. Action On Opening Palestine To Jews WASHINGTON (WNS)—Of¬ ficial U. S. action "to effect the reopening of Palestine", to Jew¬ ish immigration was recom¬ mended by William O'Dwyer in hds final report as executive director of the now defunct War Refugee Board, The factually written seven¬ ty-four page report, which was submitted to the Secretaries of State, Treasury and War on September 15, covers the high spots ot the board's part In ef¬ fecting rescues of Jewish refu¬ gees. Declaring that "several mil¬ lion persons, including one mil¬ lion Jews who were the special subjects of the Nazi persecu¬ tion carhpaign, are still -alive In Europe," the report recommend¬ ed that the U. S. take aggres¬ sive action at once for a Uni¬ ted National solution of the "In¬ ternational problem" of finding homes for the non-repatriable displaced persons. General O'Dwyer considered the problem of the stateless Jews one of the most pressing ones, and, hence, recommended that "Immediate action be tak¬ en for this group," the majori¬ ty o^ which "desires to start life anew In Palestine, the only country which is ready and willing today to receive Jews In large numbers. "He pointed out that in view of the fact that the admission of Jews to Palestine is presently restrict¬ ed by the British White Paper, the U. S. Government should take official action to secure the opening of Palestine "for the immigration' of these peo¬ ple." The rescue work was made possible through the contribut¬ ion of some $20,000,000 by pri¬ vate organizations, mostly Jew¬ ish, and by $2,500,000 in Govern¬ ment funds, the latter mostly for food that was distributed to refugees in German concen¬ tration camps by the Interna¬ tional Red Cross. The Joint Dis¬ tribution Committee alone con¬ tributed $15,000,000. More than $1,000,000 was contributed by the Vaad Haatzalah Emergency Committee. Among the other Jewish organizations which large contributions were: The American Jewish Committee, the Zionist Organization of America, the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish Labor Committee, the National Refu¬ gee Service, the Hias and the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People. ^ The report stressed that rex- cue operations were made pos¬ sible by a ruling of the State and Treasury Departments per¬ mitting private agencies to transfer funds from the U.S. to their representatives abroad. It simultaneously discloses that when Great Britain objected to that policy on the ground that it would enable the foe to se¬ cure foreign exchange, the Treasury Department took the position that "the saving ot lives far outweighed any pos¬ sible danger Involved In per¬ mitting the enemy to acquire relatively Insubstantial quani- tles of foreign exchange. In what was evidently in¬ tended as critlclsni of the U. S, Embassy in Madrid, the report discloses that our officials in Spain held out for some time against having an agent of the board stationed in that country, and that by the time U. S. Em- basaey was persuaded to press the Spanish government for permission to admit the board representatives, "the war had reached such- a stage that large- scale rescues from Fiance were impractical or Impossible," Switzerland was "the most imiTOrt.Tnt center" of the board's operations. More than $17,000,- 000 were sent there for rescue purposes. In France more than sj.OOO Jewish orphans were kept, alive with funds transmitted through Switzerland. Sweden saved about 20,000 Jews in Hungary by giving them "protective passports." Through Turkish cooperation in the rescue program, more than 7,000 refugees were saved. Though the U. S. was at war with Rumania 48,000 Jews of the 150,000 who were deported from Bessarabia and Bucovina to Transnistria were removed from Transnitria, ultimately to Palestina The report covers In detail the major programs of rescue, relief, physchologlcal warfare and the establishment of tem¬ porary havens of refuge. In¬ cluding that at Oswego, New York, and recommends that the Oswego refugees be permitted to remain in the country. Among its tributes to Indi¬ viduals, the report singles out Il-a Hirschmann, who served as special WRB representative in Turkey. Mr. Hirschman, the report notes, went to Ankara early In January, 1944, "for the sole purpose of investigating the possibilities of rendering aid to Nazi victims in the Bal¬ kans. With the wholeharted co¬ operation and assistance of United States Ambassador Lau¬ rence A. Stelnhardt, Mr. Hirsch¬ mann rendered outstanding and unusually successful service to the board." The War Refugee Board was established by the late Presi¬ dent Roosevelt on January 22, 1944, to aid in the rescue of Hitler victims in Europe. TEMPLE BROTHERHOOD STAG SET POR OCT, Oth Elaborate plans are being made for the forthcoming lap- nual stag dinner of the Bry¬ den Road Temple Brotherhood which Is to take place on Tues¬ day, October 9th, 6:30 P.
