Premier David Ben Gurion dispatched a gift today to Eddie Cantor on the occasion of the comedian’s 65th birthday. Celebration of the event will keynote Israel bond-sponsored public affairs in major cities across the United States this week-end.
Mr. Ben Gurion’s gift is a handwrought silver cylinder which contains a map of Israel detailing its development program, in which Mr. Cantor has evinced continued interest. The inscription on the cylinder reads: “To Eddie Cantor, a great humanitarian, a loyal son of his people and a true friend of Israel.”
