NAME COMMITTEE HEADS FOR JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER Group Has Charge of Functional Activities of Center The appointments for the Center Committee of the Jewish Community Center and Welfare Federation are announced today by William L. Holzman, president. . J. W. Marer is re-appointed for his third term as chairman of the committee. The chairmen of the subcommittees are: Abe Brodkey, house committee; Irvin Stalmaster, educational committee; Dave Greenberg, membership! committee; Irvin Levin, physical education committee; Justin Wolf, clubs committee; Robert Kooper, finance committee; and Milton Abrahams, public relations committee. The only new sub-committee is that of public relations, headed by Abrahams. This group will interpret the functions of the Jewish Community Center to the community. It is expected to form a women's committee, but plans are not yet complete. In assuming the chairmanship of the house committee, Brodkey succeeds Bob Kooper, who has efficiently taken care -of the duties of that committee since the building opened. The educational committee plans the educational program of the J. C. C, including the Forum series and the Music School. Since the consolidation of the J. C. C, the Welfare Federation, and the Jewish Philanthropies, the Center committee has become the functional committee of the J. C. C. and has charge of the program and general management of the Community Center, with the exception of the budget and the general policy determined upon by the Federation.
