More than $40,000 was donated last week in Luxembourg to the relatives of the Israeli athletes slain Sept. 5 in Munich. The organization. “Friends of Israel,” announced that 90 percent of the money would go to the Israeli families while 10 percent would go to the widow of the German policeman killed in the shoot-out with the Arab terrorists at the NATO air base where terrorists had taken their Israeli hostages before they were killed. The money was presented at a special ceremony to the Israeli Honorary Consul General Dr. Frank Mayer. Leading Luxembourg officials attended.
