Resolutions urging President Eisenhower to call a peace meeting between Israel and the Arab states and asking that arms shipments to the Arab states by the United States be halted, were adopted here today at the annual meeting of the Los Angeles Jewish National Fund. The meeting, opened by Mendel N. Fisher, national executive director of the JNF, and Jacob Sensibar, Chicago industrialist who is a leading figure in the company developing the Huleh region for the JNF, was attended by 1,200 persons representing 140 organizations.
It was announced at a dinner meeting of the parley that the Los Angeles JNF had raised $200,000 and that an anonymous donor had made a $200,000 bequest to the JNF. Also that Sam Gutlin of this city had made an irrevocable will for $75,000 in favor of the JNF to develop a parcel of land in memory of Mr. Gutlin’s parents. Theodore Strimling was re-elected president of the JNF here for his 21st year.
