UNITED NATI6nS,' (WUP)-The sudden death of Egypt's'. Gamal , Abdel Nasser—occurring ap¬ proximately at the time (on Monday, Sept. 28)- when Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban was delivering his major- policy address - here in bold and challenging tones-brought a shock and shutter to the" delegations engaged in the annual general debate in the huge Assembly HaU. It was' a little after noon here and Eban was the last listed speaker for the 'mommg session. However, since the Arabs hardly ever give Israel the chance of con¬ cluding 'a meeting, with - a 'last word', the ^Egyptian delegate, Mohaihed H. El- Zayyat, and the Saudi Arabian Jamil Baroody, requesting to speak under the right of reply, were given the floor. Spewing their venom at the Jewish State, they gloated over the chance to "outvoice" the eloquent Abba Eban before the session adjourned at 2:22 p.m.
But as the delegates were about to go to lunch, the news of Nasser's death rever¬ berated throughout the entire >UN compound as everything stopped almost as it did when the news of John F. Kennedy's assassination broke here.
Tlic next morning, the Assembly session turned into a memorial convocation during which the spokesmen of the Member States eulogized the fallen hero of the Arab ISation.

Albert B. Adelman, National Cash Chairman
Tills message points up the need for all of us to do everything humanly possible to enable the people of Israel to carry their crushing burdens in this critical period. We are all aware of the situation - the un¬ certainties of the cease-fire, the' erosion of hard currency reserves and almost all income devoted to security. Despite .this, the n^s of immigration, ab¬ sorption, housing, education, and fnedical care are ongoing responsibilities for which wc must supply the funds.
The cash flow has slowed down considerably during the summer months. Wc can begin now to take up the slack by reactivating our cash collection efforts.'Noycr was the siluatiiin so gravcf^ithc need so appa'rcnt< We must bring the message hoine!,to our communities ]-)Jiey will understand now ?as'Itiey have in the p^st and will r«ipond;accordinglyi:iirf ijll
