The Israel Bond Organization announced today that because of an unusual demand for tickets to the fifth annual Chanukah Festival of the organization, two identical festival programs will be presented within four days at Madison Square Garden. Admission to the festival is free to purchasers of Israel bonds.
Dr. Israel Goldstein, chairman of the festival committee, announced that all accommodations were already taken up for the first festival, the evening of December 15, for which 20,000 persons have obtained seats. Since requests have come in for many thousands more tickets, the festival committee will repeat the program at Madison Square Garden on December 19.
