The reorganization of the United Palestine Appeal, in accordance with decisions taken recently at the World Zionist Congress, will be discussed at the two-day National Conference for Israel which will take place at the Shoreham Hotel here this week-end.
The conference, called by the United Palestine Appeal, will also discuss the desperate food situation in Israel and the pressing problem of the “danger and deadline” immigrants from Eastern European and Moslem countries who must be transferred to Israel as quickly as possible.
Rudolf Sonneborn, U.P.A. national chairman, today described the parley as “a conference at the crossroads” and an opportunity “to focus the spotlight on Israel in the seething Middle East.” Principal speakers at the gathering include W. Stuart Symington, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation; Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.; Israel Ambassador Abba Eban; Dr. Nahum Goldmann, co-chairman of the Jewish Agency, and others.
