Israel Bonds Aid Negev Development
The eyes of Israel will be turned to development of its southland as it celebrates the 16th anniversary of its Indepen¬ dence, Samuel L. Oppenheimer, Columbus community chairman for State of Israel Bond drive, stated.
Stressing the giant strides already made in rolling back the desert in the Negev with the aid of Israel Bonds, Mr. Oppen-^ helmer observed that the designation of Beersheba as the of¬ ficial site of the Independenc_e Day parade reflects  the  "lugh  signifi¬ cance   which   the   Government   of Israel attaches to the development and settlement of the sparsely pop¬ ulated southern region of the coun¬ try."
The, Israel Bond chairman em¬ phasized that a substantial portion of the proceeds of Israel Bonds are being devoted to irrigation, in¬ dustrial and agricultural develop¬ ment and housing for fiew immi¬ grants in the - Negev. The Israel Bond Campaign is also providing financial resources for the settle¬ ment of the Central Galilee, as w>ell as for expansion of industry, the export trad^, and the exploita¬ tion of natural resources.
"As we celebrate this anniver¬ sary, we can be proud.of the role which Israel Bonds have played during the past thirteen years in bringing Israel to new levels of economic growth and stability," Mr.  Oppenheimer declared.
"The continuing high rate of im¬ migration and natural increase will give Israel a population of three million by 1970. The spotlight on Beersheba as a prospering city in the desert focuses world attention not only on the need but on the possibilities of developing the Negev for settlement by the newcomers.
"By achieving our goal of $85,- 000,000 in Israel Bonds this year, we can help advance this large scale development of the southern

Arabs Urge Rusk To Ignore Jews' Appeal
UNITED NATIONS (WUP)—In a strong letter addressed to Secretary of State Rusk, the so-called "Palestine Arab Dele¬ gation" has urged the U.S. government not to act on the appeal made recently by the American .lewish Conference on Soviet Jewry on behalf of the Jews of Russia.
Released here at the UN this week, the Arab letter, signed by Issa Nakhleh, was accompanied by a lengthy memorandum outlining the "evils" of Zionism and    '

pointing to the "perils" which a new wave of Jewish immigration from the Soviet Union would pose for the Arab States.
"It was reported in the press," the Arab letter told Rusk, "that a delegation of the American Jew¬ ish Conferende on Soviet Jewry met your Excellency on April 7 to urge the Department of State to inter¬ vene for 'combatting Soviet anti- Semitism/ It was also reported as follows: 'Mr. Rusk indicated today that he would consider fur¬ ther steps the U.S. might take to be helpful in this matter.' "
The letter went on' to say that "world Zionist leaders are raising a storm of agitation about the Jews in the Soviet Union to achieve political and military aims through opening the doors of Jewish immi¬ gration from the Soviet Union to Occupied Palestine. Such an influx of Jewish immigration will greatly prejudice the Palestine Arabs right in their homeland, will add fuel to IJie fire which is constantly burn¬ ing in the Near East, and will en¬ able the Zionists to commit further aggression in the Arab world."
The Arab communication then warned Rusk that "any action taken by the State Department to assist Zionists achieve their aim will be considered by the" Palestine Arabs as a very hostile act."
The accompanying Arab memor¬ andum concluded with a sort of ultimaturli urging the U.S. govern¬ ment to take the following steps:
"1. Stoppage of all poiiti^cal and financial aid and assistance to the Zionist authorities in Occupied Pal¬ estine. 2, Refusal of the U.S.A.to guarantee  the  continuation  of  the

"In guaranteeing the highest standards of liashruth for Colum¬ bus Jewry, the Vaad Hoir must depend upon the full cooperation of the entire community. Speaking for the Vaad Hoir, I dedicate my¬ self, and it, toward the attainment and maintenance of those high standards. In doing so I earnestly invite the, full support of each and every member of the community."
