JI\IF Seeks $400,000
For 'Herzl's Cedars'
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Offi-
cials of the Jewish National
Fund issued a statement deal-
ing with the transfer to Israel
of the remains of Dr. Theodor
Herzl, founder of modern Zion-
ism, who is now buried near
Vienna. The date of the trans-
fer has been set for Aug. 10.
"This year, 45 years after
Theodor Herzl's death, his sac-
red remains will be brought to
Israel in accordance with his
expressed desires," the state-
ment said. "The Jewish National
Fund, therefore, decided to de-
vote this year's proceeds from
the Kaf Tamuz appeal — held
annually on the anniversary of
Dr. Herzl's death—to the crea-
tion of a field memorial park
to be known as "Herzl's Cedars.
• "Surrounding the sepulchre,
this park, beautifully expressive
of Jewry's unbounded reverence
and appreciation for the lavish
bestowal of his greatness to the
service of his brethren, will
cover some 150 acres on the
outskirts of Jerusalem, not far
from the place where Dr. Herzl
was received on his one brief
visit to the 'homeland in 1898.
A central garden will encompass
the actual tomb, the entire me-
morial bringing nearer the day
when his dream of a verdant
Israel shall reach its consuma ,
tion.
"Accordingly, this year's Ta-
muz appeal, the first to be held
since Israel's admission to the
United Nations and since the
formation of a permanent gov-
ernment, has a momentous and
significant aspect, which will be
appreciated by Jewish commun-
ities, institutions and organiza-
tions the world over. The goal
is $400,000, and will be used not
only for planting sturdy trees,
but also to insure the fitting
perpetuation of this evergreen
symbol of Jewish indebtedness
to one who showed the way to
its moment of greatness."
