board of governors and national chairman for special sales;
HENRY MONTOR, vice-president and chief executive officer, and
JULIEN B. VENEZKY, chairman of the executive committee, of
the Israel Bond Organization. The conference, at which American
Jewish leaders will meet with delegates from Canada, Western
Europe and Latin America, will be held at the Mayflower Hotel,
Washington, D. C., March 26, through March 28 and will mark
the international inauguration of the new Israel Development Bond
Issue-which will seek to raise $75,000,000 in 1954 as part of a total

Israel to Double
Exports of Citrus
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Israel will
export some 7,000,000 cases of
citrus fruit this season, which
will net about $30,000,000, it was
stated by Itzhak Rokach and I.
Chourin, directors of the Citrus
Marketing Board.
These figures compare with
the $17,000,000 to $18,000,000
netted from last season's crop.
In view of Israel's excellent crop,
the country can increase its ex-
ports by 33 percent over 1953
and double its 1952 total.
Due to a shortage of oranges
In Europe, resulting from the
destruction of the major share
of the Spanish crop by cold wea-
ther, the price of Israeli citrus
fruit is higher than last year.
Some 21 countries are buying
Israeli fruit, it was stated.

Zionist movement and chairman
of the board of directors of the

to the emergence of Dr. Theo-
dor Herzl, founder of the mod-
ern Zionist movement. As a
young man in Berlin, Hantke
became active in the movement
for the rebuilding of Zion in
1895, two years before the estab-

World War, Dr. Hantke settled
in London where he as-
sumed charge of world Zionist
organizational work as a mem-
ber of the Zionist executive. At
the twelfth Zionist Congress in
Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia, in
1921, he was elected president
of the greater Zionist Actions
Committee and then until 1926
he directed the Central Euro-
pean Department of the Keren

dent and is directing the work

salem to this day.
