The first of a series of conferences aimed at bringing about greater co-ordination between the Israeli Bond Drive and the United Jewish Appeal in the United States took place today in the home of Premier David Ben Gurion. Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, vice-chairman of the U.J.A. , and Henry Montor, head of the Israeli bond campaign, participated.
