Jewish financiers and leaders were asked today to help raise $500,000 needed to complete the harbor at the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv, which was launched last April when Arab disorders made the neighboring port of Jaffa inaccessible.
The necessity for the Jews to have their own part was stressed by Siegfried Hoofien, managing director of the Anglo-Palestine Bank. The meeting was called by Menachem M. Ussishkin, world president of the Jewish National Fund.
