Yigal Allon, Israel’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Premier, will be the keynote speaker at the United Jewish Appeal 1976 Western Region Leadership Conference, Frank R. Lautenberg, UJA general chairman, announced Monday. The three-day conference will be held Jan. 10-12 at the Canyon Hotel. More than 500 Jewish leaders from 15 western states are expected to attend. “The conference will coordinate and unify the Western Region’s UJA campaign activities.” Lautenberg said. Bram Goldsmith, a UJA national chairman from Los Angeles and conference chairman, said Allon’s appearance would “serve to underscore the seriousness of the problems facing the people of Israel in 1975.”
