An unexpectedly large number of Congressmen last night attended a reception and dinner tendered by the conference of Jewish organizations on Israel. So many members of the House attended that it was not possible to record their names.
Sen. Walter F. George, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was in attendance. Other Senators who came included Pat McNamara, Democrat, Mich.; Richard L. Neuberger, Democrat, Oregon; Thomas H. Kuchel, Republican; Calif.; William A. Purtell, Republican, Conn.; Roman L. Hruska, Republican, Nebraska.; Hubert H. Humphrey, Democrat, Minn.; John J. Sparkman, Democrat, Alabama, and James H. Duff, Republican, Pennsylvania.
The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Louis B. Khalil, Lebanese Maroniter religious leader, warned against Arab League machinations and told the Jewish conference “hundreds of thousands of my Maronite compatriots regard the present collaboration of the Lebanese Government with the Arab League as a grotesque, irresponsible and profoundly dangerous adventure.”
