Mrs. Felix M. Warburg and Maryland Governor Theodore McKeldin will be presented with World Brotherhood awards by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, it was announced here this week-end at the mid-winter conference of the National Planning Committee of the institutions of Conservative Judaism the Seminary, United Synagogue of America and Rabbinical Assembly of America.
Mrs. Warburg will receive her award in recognition of a lifetime of service to “the downtrodden of all groups,” while Gov. McKeldin will be honored for his “championship of human equality.” The awards will be presented at a meeting tentatively scheduled for April at which three World Brotherhood fellows will be named; Maxwell Abbell, chairman of the President’s Committee on Government Employment Policy; Daniel G. Ross, former chairman of the National Planning Committee, and Ben Stern, co-chairman of the Seminary’s World Brotherhood Committee.
