The American Histadrut Development Foundation in southern California has received gifts of $100,000 from Arnold D. Skovron, and $25,000 from Julius Fligelman, both active supporters of Israel’s Labor Federation.
Mr. Skovron made his bequest to benefit Histadrut hospitals. Mr. Fligelman, West Coast president of the Histadrut campaign, gave his contribution for scholarships. Bernard B. Jacobson, West Coast director of the Israel Histadrut drive, said that the Foundation, established in 1960, has more than $2,500,000 in bequests, assignment of insurance policies and other gifts that do not require immediate cash outlays by donors.
