Finance Minister Levi Eshkol of Israel will come to the United States early next month to confer with Israel bond leaders on plans for the 1959 Israel bond drive, it was announced today by Dr. Joseph J.Schwartz, vice president of the Israel Bond Organization.
Mr. Eshkol will report on Israel’s financial needs for economic development at an extraordinary three-day meeting of the board of governors and community leadership of the Israel bond campaign, which will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York during the week-end of January 9th.
