The 57th annual convention of the Jewish War Veterans today adopted a resolution calling for increased American aid to Israel and for the awarding by the United States of offshore contracts to Israel’s industry “whose manufacturing plants are now capable of absorbing industrial orders.”
The convention honored Irving Kane, chairman of the National Community Relations Advisory Council, with a certificate of merit for “welding national and local Jewish agencies with diverse approaches to community relations problems into an effective instrumentality for maintaining Jewry’s positive contributions to the ever-growing development of America’s democracy.”
