The board of directors of the Southwest Region of the Zionist Organization of America, meeting at the Rice Hotel here last night, urged President Truman in a telegram dispatched to the White House to lay a “firm hand” on all “attempts to sabotage” Israel. The message said in parts.
“We earnestly petition all who make, control or implement American foreign policy to lay a firm hand on all attempts to sabotage what has been earned through blood, toil and sacrifice, and to take a firm and inflexible stand in favor of those who, by right, by law, by our promises and by their own valor, have made a nation and have there established the one haven of liberty in the Near East.” The Southwest Region of the Z. O. A. represents Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
