Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin of Maryland has reaffirmed his support of the Israel Bond Drive in a letter to the American Council for Judaism, which criticized his support of the campaign, it was learned here today.

Replying to the Council’s charges of “dual loyalty” of Jews aiding Israel, the Governor said that that point had been answered so well and so often that the Council should not permit itself to be stirred up over a “trumped-up charge of allegiance.” Aligning himself with such American Christian leaders as Drs. Henry Atkinson, Daniel Poling and Samuel Guy Inman, Gov. McKeldin said that Israel had proved herself a trusted ally in the last war and was deserving of American support.
