Increased American support for Israel was urged tonight by Senators Richard L. Neuberger and Wayne Morse speaking at two dinners in behalf of the Israel bond drive. Both Senators stressed the importance of helping Israel strengthen its economy in order to make it self-supporting and a strong partner of the free nations of the world.
Senator Neuberger, who addressed more than 500 lawyers at a testimonial dinner for United States District Judge Sidney Sugarman at the Biltmore Hotel, compared the development of the American West with the development of the State of Israel. He called for American investment in Israel as proof of American faith in a new democracy in the Middle East.
Senator Morse, who spoke at a dinner at the Plaza Hotel sponsored by the Israel Bond drive in honor of David Krotman, civic and communal leader, called for “the export of enlightened capitalism as the only true road to peace.” Israel, he told the 300 persons at the dinner, is the only Middle Eastern country which believes in enlightened capitalism.
