Formation of a new group–Material for Palestine, Inc.,–to “channelize the flow of non-embargoed materials which the Jews of America are offering to the Palestine Jews in their struggle to implement the U.N. decision” was announced here today.
At the same time, the group revealed that its first cargo, including medical supplies, tents, blankets, sand bags and water distillation units, will leave for Palestine tomorrow aboard the S.S. Flying Arrow, consigned to the Jewish Agency. The group emphasized that it is not a fund-raising organization but is seeking donations of non-contraband merchandise from manufacturers and jobbers in large quantities. Among the supplies which the organization hopes to ship in the near future are ambulances, motorcycles, telephones, trucks, shoes, cameras, mess kits, barbed wire, raincoats, etc.
