PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.—Representing
all sections of the country and leading
Jewish organizations, 4(H) delegates assem-
bled today at the Metropolitan Opera House
in response to a call tor the first Jewish
• ougress. The purpose of the congress is
to collate all tin1 aims of thJews, organ-
ized and unorganized, and formulate plans
bv which a concerted movement forward
may be made.
Col. Harry Cutler of I'rovidenee. the
temporary chairman, who has acted as
chairman of the administrative committee,
said in opening the congress:
'For thousands of years our people have
suffered persecution and discrimination.
And now that the readjustment of the
world's civilization is about to be accom
pllshed, when it is hoped the fundamental
principle that ;ill men are born free and
equal will become an established fact, and
The rights of siuall nations be equally con*
served with those greater powers, the Jewr
ish people must come into its own.''
Prof. David "W. Aniram of the University
of Pennsylvania, in welcoming the dele-
gates in behalf of Jews of Philadelphia,
-aid. in part:
"Your forefathers In Judea proclaimed lib-
erty throughout the land unto all the in
habitants thereof. Let it be your work to
support the policy of our great national
leader. Woodrow Wilson, in the proclaim
ing of freedom to the inhabitants of all
ands."

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. V The Fuel
Administration today announced that it has
asked the oil industry to lift all voluntary
restrictions on crude oil pricey and distri'
button and on refined products. This re-
leases from <fovernment supervision the en-
tire oil industry, both crude and refined,
and will be permanent, the annoum euient
says, "unless events prove the necessity
again of exercising control." •
The administration points out. however,
that the licenses now outstanding will re-
main in force until the President's procla-
mation of peace and that all agreements
will continue subject to cancellation or as
signment on request of the Fuel Adminis-
trator. He simply does not expect to hare
to exercise this authority.
"By these varioint measures." the an-
nouncement says, "the Fuel Administration
hopes to restore the oil industry to normal
conditions with as little disturbance as pos-
sible. keeping in mind the fact that the
authority for control still exists and will be
exercised should occasion require pending
the promulgation of final peace."
Jnjian W. Mack of Chicago, and other
prominent" men. Judge Ma«k was elected
president and Mr. Straus was unanimously
chosen honorary president.
