A state conference of the Palestine Emergency Fund for Texas was held yesterday at the Hebrew Institute, and unanimously resolved to raise a minimum fund of $60,000 in cash before September 20. If the quota is not reached by that date, appeals will be made in the temples and synagogues for additional funds during the High Holidays. L. A. Freed, of Houston, was chosen state chairman of the Fund. Close to $25,000 has already been reported. Resolutions protesting against the situation in Palestine and calling on the British Government to institute an impartial inquiry, grant indemnities to the families who have suffered loss and damage, legalize the self-defense force, and prevent a recurrence of the murders and outrages, were unanimously adopted.
