Delegates attending the tenth annual convention of the Junior Mizrachi Women’s Organization of America last night heard a message from the State Department endorsing American organizations sponsoring social welfare projects in behalf of children in Israel.
The message to the 800 delegates from all parts of the U.S. said in part: “This government greatly appreciates the humanitarian work of organizations such as yours which take an active part in caring for Israeli children and it shares your concern in this matter.” Arthur C.A. Liverhant, First Secretary of the Israel Embassy in Washington, told the parley that Israel was “not prepared to sacrifice those who risked their lives when loyalty to Jerusalem was put to the test of battle at the bidding of those who stood idly by and watched.”
