Declaring that Jerusalem is “the capital of our people and the state of Israel,” Reuven Schreihman, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, tonight pledged, in the name of the citizens of Jerusalem: “We will not yield to a decision, which lacks all moral basis and will not accept any government except that of Israel.”
Mr. Schreihman, who is in this country on a mission for the Histadrut, spoke before and overflow audience of 2,000 persons who attended a “Save Jerusalem” Hanukkah festival held here under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress. Others scheduled to speak were Aubrey Eban, chief of the Israel U.N. delegation, and Dr. David W. Petegorsky, executive director of the A.J.C.
