Gifts to Provide for Emergencies

"Within view of the Abraham
Lincoln Building of Science, a
distinguished assemblage of Min-
isters of the Israel Government,
members of the Diplomatic
Corps, representatives of Israel
institutions of learning a n d
Americans in Israel, gathered to
pay homage to the Great Eman-
cipator," Stollman reported.
The program featured greet-
ings by the Public Relations Of-
ficer of the U.S. Embassy, as
well as messages of congratula-
tion from the Association of
Americans in Israel and the Is-
rael Foreign Ministry.
The Lincoln Day Oration was
delivered by Dr. Israel Gold-
stein, head of Keren Hayesod
(Foundation Fund) of the Jew-
ish Agency, who had been pres-
ent at the dedication of Bar-Ilan
University in 1955.

Philip Stollman, member- of
the Jewish Agency, Inc., who
returned this week froma two-
week study tour of Israel in his
capacity as national chairman of
the American Committee for Bar-
Ilan University, made a strong
appeal for increased gifts to the
Allied Jewish Campaign in order
to assure funds for the United
Jewish Appeal, the local drive's
major beneficiary, in tackling
Israel's pressing problems.
Stollman said that on this trip
to Israel he became more aware
than ever before of two existing
