High Holy Day Appeals Net
Over $100,000 for Israel Bonds

Detroit synagogues secured
over $100,000 in State of Israel
bond subscriptions during the
High Holy Day drive for invest-
ment funds from Rosh Ita-
shahah to Yom Kippur, it was
reported by the Mizrachi syna-
gogues and religious groups
committee.
Leading synagogues in the
holiday campaign were Bnai
David and Bnai Zion. Former
U. S. Ambassador to Israel
James C. McDonald delivered an
address to the congregants of
Bnai David, while Rabbi Aaron
Pechenick, world Mizrachi lead-
er, spoke at Bnai Zion.
Always active participants in

the Israel Bond drive, the Miz-
rachi committee conducted the
Holy Day appeal as part of its
yearly activities.
The practice of obtaining sub-
scriptions for Israel Bonds in
synagogues during High Holy
Day services started two years
ago with the inception of the
Israel bond campaign.
Special tab cards were made
available to synagogues by the
local bond office to enable wor-
shippers to indicate the amount
of bonds they wished to pur-
chase without violating the tra-
ditional injunction against
writing on the Holy Days.

`Conquest of the Desert' Exhibition
Opens in Israel with U.S. in Absentia

Direct 3TA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News

JERUSALEM—Israel's first in-
ternational exhibition, the "Con-
quest of the Desert" was for-
mally opened late Tuesday by
President Ben Zvi and acting
Premier Moshe Sharett.
The exposition, which 2,000,000
persons are expected to visit be-
fore it closes on Oct. 14, is lo-
cated in the heart of the city.
More than 2,000,000 pounds
have been invested by 500 private
firms, public and semi-public in-
stitutions from 23 nations and
inter-governmental bodies in the
various booths, pavilions and ex-
hibits.
Exhibits and films will show
how man can best beat back the
desert and provide more food
and living space for the world's
rapidly growing population.
More than 600 people were
employed to set up the exhibi-
tion. The Conquest of the Desert
Co. spent 840,000 pounds, while
local firms spent 700,000 pounds
in preparing for the exposition.
It is expected that the fair's
deficit will be no more than
300,000 pounds, and that most
of the investment will be re-
covered from rental fees for ex-
hibition space and admission
charges.
Three scientific conferences
will be held concurrently with
the fair. A symposium on
"Negev development" will be
presented by engineers and
architects on Sunday, a Con-
gress of the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Science will con-
vene Tuesday and a Congress of
Jewish Agronomists will be held
Oct, 4.
Each week day night, concerts
or theatrical products will be
presented in an open air audito-

spokesman made known that
the United States regards the
"Conquest of the Desert" as an
"official function."
The U.S. will therefore not be
represented because it does not
recognize the legality of the
transfer of Israel Foreign Min-
istry to Jerusalem.
The spokesman said that
American officials may attend
the exhibition after the open-
ing, but that they were pur-
posely avoiding the political im-
plications they felt would be at-
tached to appearing in Israel's
capital on. Tuesday.
The British Embassy was
represented, however, at t h e
ceremonies in view of the fact
that the exhibition is not of-
ficially arranged by the Israel
government.

Arms Shipments to Arabs
New Headache for Israel

Co-Chairmen

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The

most urgent cause of concern to
the Israel Embassy here is the
possibility of American muni-
tions grants to the Arab League
states — an undertaking for
which funds were provided in
the new Mutual Security Act.
This matter has been consis-
tently discussed by Israel offi-
cials with the State Department.
The return of Ambassador Ab-
ba Eban from Israel has given
rise to speculation that the
problem will be pursued person-
ally by Eban and stressed at his
next meeting with Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
Israel's general position is that
arms shipments to Arab states,
which continue to maintain a
belligerent attitude toward Isra-
el, would not-'serve the cause of
world peace.
