Detroiters Set High Mark
for Israel Bond Sales at
'60 Inuigural Conference
By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
MIAMI BEACH; Fla.-Scores of Detroiters who are
vacationing here participated in a number of events
arranged to spur Israel Bond sales and shared in the
record breaking initially announced national purchase of
$19,259,000 to the tune of $440,000.
At the 1960 inaugural Israel Borid conference held
here duriug,the Feb. 26-28 week-end, a goal of $76,000,-
000 was announced for 1960, in order to reach the half-
billion-dollar sales mark at the end of the first decade of
activities for this immense Israel investment project.
In behalf of the Detroiters present, Torn Borman,
chairman of the Detroit Israel Bond Campaign, stated
that the aim of his committee is to sell at least $1,000,000
in Bonds. Towards this goal, he and his associates—in-
cluding three former Detroit Bond chairmen, Abe Kasle,
Phillip Stollman and Irwin I. Cohn—announced enroll-
ment of a number of advance purchasers who have
pledged to buy $440,000 in Bonds this year.
Borman announced that he was joining the newly-
created Golden Trustee Club, composed of Bond pur-
chasers of $50,000 or more, and that he and his family
would make a• $50,000 Bond purchase.
An enthusiastic audience of 1,800 who attended the
closing dinner of the conference, at the Fontain-

Israel's calmness in the face of new war threats, its minimum of spreading
rumors of impending attack by hostile Arab neighbors and its refusal to succumb
to threats from Egyptian President Gamal Adbel Nasser and his cohorts was con-
firmed this week by a series of new developments.
The Jewish State's confidence was evidenced by a report from Cairo on
Tuesday that the Arab League failed to reach agreement to mobilize against
Israel on the basis of a "Palestine entity" proposal, which would call for the
formation of an Arab refugee army from the ranks of those who fled pre-Israel
Palestine.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports from Jerusalem that Nasser acted_ in
apparent defiance of the Arab League by countenancing the creation of a "Pales-
tine National Union" to represent the 250,000 refugees in the Egyptian-held Gaza
Strip and another 10,000 in Syria. The question of a status and organization for
the refugees was a main issue in the three-week meeting of the Arab League,
which just concluded in Cairo. The league failed to reach any agreement on the
question, mainly because of .the opposit ion of Jordan, which saw in the plan a
threat to her sovereignty over Palestine lands west of the Jordan River that it
seized and annexed in the 1948 Arab war against Israel.
Israel's calmness also was confirmed by the announcement of Premier Ben-
Gurion's planned visit to the United States next week. The fact that the Israeli
Prime Minister, who also is Minister of Defense, has planned to leave his country
for a few days is interpreted as convincing proof that Israelis do not view this
as a time of peril.
A third element of confidence for Israel was the sense of security that was
instilled in an address by Gen. Moshe Da yan at the Israel Bond Conference in
Miami Beach.
In Washington and at the United Nations, an earlier Israeli warning to the
Security Council of the UN regarding threats from the United 'Arab Republic
was rejected by leaders as exaggerated.
Because of the UAR's stepped up campaign of psychological warfare, Israel
had been spurred to warn the Security Council to act promptly against a "cam-
