NEW YORK (JTA) — Louis A.
Pincus, chairman of the Jewish
Agency Executive in Jerusalem, is-

financial aid to Israel.
In response, the 1.1.TA held a
cash mobilization conference here
Sunday and Monday. Edward Gins-
berg. UJA national general chair-
man, emphasized the urgency of
the plight. He called on American
Jewish communities to initiate im-

Zuckerman. Louis Berry and Sol ,
Drachler.

"Let me state one conviction
very simply: I firmly believe that
the fate of Israel is linked with
the national security of the United
States."

Rep. Ford said that on June
2 he sent a personal letter to
President Nixon, stating that
"in view of the dangerous and
aggressive escalation of the

crisis apparent in the intrusion
of Soviet combat pilots and mis-
sile battalions into Egypt, a new

sense of urgency has developed
among members of the House of
Representatives regarding the
necessit for a measured Amer-
ican res ponse.
