A forest that will bear the names of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Marshal Joseph Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek will be planted in Palestine in appreciation of their achievements at the recent Cairo and Teheran conferences, it was learned here today.
The planting of the first 1,000 trees in the United Nations Forest on the land of the Jewish National Fund, has been made possible by a gift of $1,500 to the Fund made by Mr. Isaac Evans, honorary vice-president of the Cleveland Zionist Society. He presented the amount of $1,500 to Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, Rabbi of the Temple, Cleveland, president of the United Palestine Appeal and chairman of the executive committee of the American Zionist Emergency Council.
