Major speakers at the parley will be Mrs. Golda Myerson, Israel Minister of Labor, who will report on the situation in Israel; Aubrey S. Eban, newly-appointed Israel Ambassador to Washington; and Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, director-general of the Joint Distribution Committee, who returned this week from a fact-finding mission in Iran.
