Dr. Pablo Manguel, Argentine Minister to Israel, arrived here from Tel Aviv to attend the funeral of Eva Peron, wife of the Argentine President, who died last week. Dr. Ricardo Dubrovsky today led a delegation of the DAIA to the Ministry of Work and Social Welfare, where the remains of Mme. Peron lie in state, to pay the respects of the Jewish community in this country. Cantor Amram Blu, in the presence of President Juan Peron and leading Argentine Ministers, delivered a prayer for the dead at Mme. Peron’s bier.

(Twenty-five tons of textiles, clothing and pharmaceuticals donated by the Eva Peron Fund in Argentina for the use of needy immigrants in Israel arrived today in Haifa aboard the Argentine vessel, SS Rio Bellen, Israel officials who accepted the gift from Argentine officials described the late wife of the Argentine President as a “comforting nurse for all the needy.”)
