Give Lincoln Letter; Histadrut to End
to Bnai Brith
The Detroit Israel Histadrut
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Fear
that Israel may be affected if
Congress reduces the $3,500,-
000,000 Mutual Security Aid
program was felt here follow-
ing a renewed appeal by Presi-
dent Eisenhower against any
cut.
Eisenhower voiced the ap-
peal at his press conference.
He said he could think of no
action that would be more
detrimental to the U.S. inter-
ests than one of reducing Mu-
tual Security Aid to spend
more on domestic projects.
The President did not refer
specifically to the question of
aid for Israel but to the foreign
assistance program involving
all beneficiaries throughout the
world.
In the current fiscal year
Israel is receiving $7,500,000
special assistance. But her ap-
plication for a development
loan has not yet been approved.
