The San Francisco branch of the Bank of America has granted the Jewish National Fund a $10,000,000 loan repayable within three years at an interest rate of four percent, it was announced here today. The JNF will use this sum to consolidate various debts and outstanding loans. The same bank loaned the JNF $15,000,000 in 1949. That loan has since been repaid.
