A mass rally honoring Israel’s 13th anniversary and sponsored by the Israel Bond Organization went on as scheduled today despite threats that a bomb would be planted at the meeting. The meeting proceeded without interruption when no bomb was found.
Former Canadian Foreign Minister Lester Pearson lauded Israel’s conduct of the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann as being “in the finest traditions of the rule of law.” The rally was also addressed by Israel Ambassador Yaacov Herzog who lauded Mr. Pearson’s contribution in the United Nations in 1947-48 to international recognition of Israel’s independence.
