Israel Ambassador ABBA E1IAN received a citation of
merit from Hadassah, Women's Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, from Mrs. BENJAMIN GOTTESMAN (left), national treas-
urer of Hadassah, at a special meeting at Hadassah House in
New York last week. 'Looking on are - Dr. MIRIAM FREUND
(second from left),. Hadassah president, and Mrs. SAMUEL W.
HALPRIN, acting chairman of the American Section of the
Jewish Agency. The citation was given "in tribute to the man
and the statesman, in recognition of the understanding and
cooperation between the United States and Israel which his
efforts have inspired." Ambassador Eban told the women that
the next decade will see Israel's population grow to 3,000,000.
He said he hopes the next decade also brings peace between
Israel and her neighbors, but that "that gift does not lie within
our hands alone."

ment does not refer specifically

ing of the State Department.
