He will take part this coming week-end in the UJA’s annual national conference opening Friday at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
The conference, with more than 1,200 Jewish leaders in attendance from all parts of the country to set the stage for the Appeal’s 16th successive nationwide campaign, will give special consideration to Mr. Eshkol’s presentation of Israel’s continuing problems and needs.
The Israel Finance Minister is expected to present the new State’s needs in the light of continuing pressures and tensions in the Middle East.
