PROSECUTING. ATTORNEY

DEMOCRAT

To My Jewish Friends:

To the Jewish people everywhere, whose undying struggle to re.
establish your. homeland in Palestine has filially been rewarded, I want
to'extend my sincere hope that the New Year may witness greater and
ever greater progress in the development of the State of Israel.
One of my most cherished memories is my experience at Lake Sue-
efols, where, with Jewish and. Christian Lawyers and Judges from all
parts of the Country, we pleaded with the United States Delegation to
approve the partition of Palestine and recognize the State of Israel. We
shared in your exhultat ion when Israel was actually born.
Bet the struggle is only beginning. A vast job remains to be done,
at home and abroad, if Israel shall achieve its historic role. All right-
minded people must aid in this task.
It is my fervent hope that the Jewish year 57O) will see the State
of Israel take its rightful place in the Family of Democratic-Nations.

Gerald K. O'Brien
