The Jewish National Fund Council of Detroit honored Leonard N. Simons, Jewish communal leader, with a dinner here tonight at which plans were completed for a Simons’ forest in Israel. The JNF Council said that a number of Mr. Simons’ friends had already contributed gifts for gardens of trees in the planned forest.
