Ed Marks, who has been an international official of I. C. E. M. since its establishment in 1952, has been granted a leave of absence to become executive director of the newly formed U. S. Committee for Refugees, which will have its offices in New York. This is the latest in a succession of important posts which Ed has held with Government and private organizations engaged in migration and refugee activities. You may recall that he has served as head of the I. C. E. M. New York office since 1954, and before that was chief of mission of I. R. O. and I. C. E. M. in Athens. In 1957 he directed a special mission to Yugoslavia which was carried out under the auspices of the United Nations.
