Bassett, secretary treasurer of the L.A. County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO. The purchase marks the second major investment in Israel bonds here by a trade union.

Thomas W. Higgins, executive vice-president of the bank, announced the purchase at a concert sponsored by the Syracuse Religious Council for Israel Bonds.)
