Representatives of 80 national Jewish organizations participated in an extraordinary emergency conference here tonight at the Park Central Hotel at which a united program of action was devised “to thwart current British preparations for military intervention in Israel.”
The conference, which was called by the American Zionist Emergency Council, was not open to the public. It was addressed by Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, chairman of the American section of the Jewish Agency, and by Aubrey S. Eban, chief Israeli delegate to the United Nations. Eban presented a report on the problems now facing Israel.
