More than 10, 000 Jews gathered in Luna Park Stadium last night to formally launch the 1958 United Israel Campaign in Argentina. The chief speakers were Israel’s Minister for Interior, Israel Bar Yehuda, who came here to attend the inauguration of President Frondizi, and Dr. Arieh L. Kubovy, Israel’s Ambassador.
