ATL/VNTIC CITY, (JTAr—'The government andthe people
pf tite United States will not assist .Britain In any attempt that
may throqten the existence of Israel, Aubrey S. Eban, Israeli re-
<a prescntative to the United Nations, told the 1,200 delegates attend-
''ipS the dattonal conference of-the United Jewish Appeal which
.   last week proclaimed a $26o,o'oo;000 quota for'1049.
^     ' Bitterly attacking-   British   military , manipulations   against
Israel and charging the British GoVfernment with endangering the
peace and sabotaging truce negotiations betwee* Israel and the
¦ Arab .states, Eban said: "It has been made abundantTy plain to me
In cohfergnces In Washington and New Vork that ,the asslstarice ot
the United States Government and people is not available for any
project which threatens the existence' of larael."
The Israeli representative emphasized that "at the ffl-st available opportunity, my government must request the attention pf the Security-Council to the f&t.tHat the Sovernraentlot the United Klngdorn is repudiating Its obligations under thie truW."
He expressed the hope that the attitude of the U. S. Govern¬ ment, and of Olher members of the Security Council, >vin dlacouiv .age any dev.eiopmen*: of renewal of the British thrsat to IsraelA Israel will continue to do evfirythln^n Its powefr to d^iplnlshj the tension and advance the Ga.use of peace, Eban said. He em- phasizedthat the interests and the Ideals of Israel command the Jewish State, at all. times, to adher_e "to our real preference. Which Is for peace." He added that "the peace must be founded on the true territorial ahd political IntejH'lty of Israel," arid that It must assure to Israel and its neighbor? fuirtoverelgn equality, national freedom and.a place in the community of nations. ' In adopting th^ $250,000,000 quota tor 1040, the.l7.J.A. con-
ference called upon American Jewry to make Its maximum effort. "This is one historic Jewiah haiu-, this i&..Anfeclcan - Jetvry's lilstoric opQortunity," - the call said. Actioq on the quQta was taken after a weciai . cominlttee analyzed the hndgetary requirements' wliich the United Palestine Appeal, Joint Distribution Committee, and United Service for New Americans submitted.   • '' '
The conference adopted a re¬ solution pledging to' serve the J^ijja in Europe and Israel "in ""¦-ffie highest tradition" and to dedicate the resources of the Jewish community of the United States to the mass settlement . and upbuilding of Israel, to the- emptylng of the DP^amps be¬ fore the end of .1949, and to the immigration :and rdhabllltatlon of displaced Jews In various countries.
Dr. Bernard Joseph, Israeli .military governor of Jerusalem, revealed'that the IsraeU Govern¬ ment Is planning to launch a "litUe TVA" at a cost of api)rO- ximately $200,000,000   to   make
