The 28th annual national convention of the Mizrachi Women’s Organization of America opened here last night, with more than 1,000 delegates from all parts of the country attending.

Eliashev Ben-Horin, attache of the Israel Embassy, told the delegates that the current Arab-Israel crisis stems from the lack of peace in the Middle East and the Arab refusal to discuss any sort of settlement with Israel. “It is my deep conviction, ” Mr. Ben-Horin said, “that if those among our Western friends who today denounce us with such alacrity had shown a similar concern over the prolonged series of Arab aggressive actions which produced the last regrettable incident, they would have served the cause of Middle East peace far better. “
