Thousands of New 'Yorkers
filled Pennsylvania station Sun-
day to bid farewell to the United
Jewish Appeal's "Caravan of
Hope" train carrying Israeli war
heroes and American communal
leaders on a special tour to mobi-
lize nationwide support for the

Israeli Army General Staff and

a woman's army unit in Israel, as
its principal passengers.
The purpose of the "Caravan
of Hope" trains which departed
simultaneously from New York,
San Francisco, Boston and four
other major cities is to dramatize
the program- of transferring hun-
dreds of thousands of homeless
Jews to Israel from the DP camps
and other parts of Europe and
providing for rehabilitation over-
seas and for refugee aid in the
United States this year. Special
exhibits on the trains will depict
the work of agencies of the
United Jewish Appeal in carrying
on this worldwide humanitarian
