A. J. Weinberg, Mr. Massell and former Secretary of the
Treasury Henry F. Morgenthau Jr.
Mr. Massell’s vigorous participation in behalf of Bonds
for Israel campaigns cannot be overestimated- He believed
in the economic efficacy of this way the State of Israel
was taking to raise funds for her economic development.
He knew well what sound investments could do for a
country—especially for a new and fledgling country up
holding the standards of democracy almost single-handedly
in the Middle East. And he backed up his understanding
and approval with substantial purchases, becoming one of
the country’s top purchasers of Israel Bonds, undoubtedly
the largest in the South. He lent his energies and efforts
too to leading the campaigns year after year and taking
chairmanships to indicate his backing.
