Former Danish Prime Minister Viggo Kampman presented to the Emergency Fund for Israel here a check for 1,500,000 kroner ($210,000). The check was given to Ambassador Esther Herlitz of Israel at a reception.

Part of the gift will be used to repair damage to Israeli settlements in the June war. The balance will be used to aid Arab refugees in Israeli-held Arab territory. Danish Jews raised a similar amount for the fund.
