Jewish Fund Drive
For Overseas Relief
Will Begin Tonight
Rabbi Liebmun of Boston
And Walter Durunty
To Be Speakers

Faced with the task of aiding
thousands of homeless and suffering
Jews throughout the world, Wash
ington's Jewish community will
formally launch it's share of the an
nual United Jewish Appeal for
Refugees, Overseas Needs and Pal
estine with a rally at $3.50 o'clock to-
night at the Jewish Community
Center, Sixteenth and @ streets NV.
Walter Duranty, widely known
foreign correspondent and author,
and Rabbi Joshua Lehman of Bos-
ton, will be the principal speakers.
Mr.. Duranty will discuss, Rus
sia-First Front Against Hitler"
and Rabbi Lehman will talk on the
postwar aims of Jewry. There will
be no solicitation of funds at the
meeting, Louis E. Spiegler, director
of the drive. announced, and the
pubic is invited.
Edmund I. kaufman and Milton
w. King are co-chairmen of the
local campaign.
Several hundred volunteer work.
ers will solicit funds for the cause.
The United Jewish, Appeal is the
single fund raising channel through
which American Jews are now pro-
viding the resources for far-hung
relief, rescue and resettlement pro-
grams in Europe. Palestine, the
United States and Latin America.
These programs are carried on by
three rescue agencies represented in
the appeal: The Joint Distribution
Committee, which aids victims OF
war and oppression overseas; the
United Palestine Appeal, which sup
ports the defense, upbuildings and
settlement of the Jewish homeland
in Palestine. and the National Refu-
gee Service, which is engaged in
providing assistance to refugees who
find haven in this country.
Directors of the drive this year
point out that the Jewish relief
agencies have been hard pressed fol
funds, and will be even more so III
the future. The last 10 years OF
Nazi tyranny, the slaughter of 2,000,-
900 Jews and the vast refugee prob
lem have all been contributing fac
tors to using all funds available
they explained.
The rescue of children is the first
job of relief agencies. Since 1888, a
total of 100000 persons have been
helped to leave Europe, and mil
lions of others aided, more than
100000 refugees have been settled in
Palestine, and the integration of
thousands of Jewish refugees in the
United States has been facilitated.

Officials Seek
$4,000 More
For Nurseries
Bids on Renovation
Prove Too High
For Second Time

The District government has
asked the Federal Works Agency for
an additional grant of $4,000 for
renovations on the nine District
owned houses in Southeast Wash
ington which are to be used as child
care centers, David Auld, District
liaison engineer said today.
The Commissioners second at
tempt to secure sufficiently low bids
on the job failed yesterday AFTER
noon when the lowest bid received
was $4,000. almost three times the
amount of Lanham Act funds avail
able for construction. Of the orig
inal FWA Lanham Act grant of
S14,7 TOO for the nine child care CEN
struction.
Mrs. Henry P. Chandler, chair
man of the Districts OCD Child
Care Committee, declared it is
highly important not to let dis
crepancies between the bids received
and the money available hold up the
beginning of vitally needed nursery
schools and child care centers. Our
chief hope, housing, lies in get
ting the additional grant from
FWA."
The second Lanham Act grant to
schools and 10 child care centers al
ready has been sent from the ma
tional Office of FWA to the regional
Office in Richmond, Mr.. Auld said.
This grant is for maintenance and
operation of centers which will be
located in District public schools,
plus counseling services, foster care
plans and other child care services.
Meanwhile, a second child care
bill has been introduced by Chair
man Thomas of the Senate Com
mittee on Education and Labor.
Hearings will be held next Tuesday.
The measure calls for a child care
setup which would eliminate the
Federal Works Agency Lanham Act
fund as source for child care CEN
ters, and would shift all power over
nursery schools and other child care
services to the Children's Bureau,
the Office of Education and the
Federal Security Administration.
Mrs. Florence Kerr, chief of war
public services under FWA will tes-
tlfy tomorrow before the House Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds Commit
tee, which is considering continual
ton of the Lanham Act fund for
child care and other war services
The Thomas bill is seen by child
care leaders in the District as a
move to shift emphasis from group
care in nursery schools and centers,
to fosterf family care and individual
welfare services.

was the exclusion of a substantial
amount from the rate base by the

differed from that used in prior

Canned Milk
Rationed 10
Benefit Infants
OPA Surprise Order
Seeks to Conserve
Dwindling Supplies
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rationing of canned milk be-
gan today on short notice.
The purpose, according to Office
OF Price Administration, is to reduce
all non-essential consumption and
to conserve limited supplies for in
FAINT feeding and for persons who
require canned milk in special diets.
Under the rationing, which started
at 1901 am'today, evaporated and
condensed milk were added to the
meats and fats program, but no
additional points were allowed. Six
teen points person a week are
allowed for the purchase of meats
and fats, and canned milk now must
be included in this allowance.
1t will cost" l red point a
pound, and OPA estimated infant
formulas will require about points
a week.
Decreases Meat Bonus"
This, in effect, wipes out some Of
the meat bonus" which parents of
small children have enjoyed
OPA estimated this years supply
OF canned milk will approximate Is
per cent less than last years be-
cause of the diversion of raw milk
to other purposes.
Persons whose doctors certify thew
need extra amounts may apply to
rationing boards for supplemental
rations, as alreday provided in the
meats and fats program.
No actual restrictions were placed
on the purchase of evaporated and
condensed milk for adult use, but
canned milk will take red coupons,
and most adults are expected to save
the coupons for meat, butter or
cheese.
Big Cans Value Is One Point.
The point value means that the
common tall can. 14l2 ounces, will
cost one point. The common small
size, 6 ounces, will be two for a
point. Since the minimum rationed
purchase is one point, however, any
one who buys single small can will
still nave to pay full point.
OPA said the order was issued at
the request of the War Food Admin
istration because production of can
ned milk has fallen 25 per cent below
expectations and because of huge
Army, Navy and lease-lend require
ments. Officials explained one rea-
son for smaller production is a trend
to divert milk into various manu-
factured products.
Rationing of canned milk has been
touch-and-go for about year,
and many communities had volun-
tary rationing last fall The situa-
tion was erased for while by re-
lease of some Army stores and by
seasonal production gains
Officials expressed belief that con-
siderable canned milk has been
boarded by consumers, but made no
estimate of these stocks.
