A decision to proclaim a $10,000,000 drive in the United States for 1949-50 to support Histadrut institutions in Israel was adopted here last night at the concluding session of a two-day conference of the board of directors of the Gewerkshaften Campaign for Labor Israel.
The session also adopted a resolution opposing the internationalization of Jerusalem and emphasizing that the American Labor Zionist movement considers Jerusalem an integral part of Israel. The session was addressed by Louis Pinkus, general secretary of Israel’s Ministry of Communications; J. Zerubavel, member of the executive of the Jewish Agency in Israel; and Abraham Dickenstein, director of the American Palestine Trading Corporation (AMPAL), and others.
