Reports coming here from Israel and New York indicate that the food and medical supplies of that free nation are badly depleted and that the agricultural and industrial activities of the nation are almost at a standstill. The "Star Spangled Banner1' will open the rally at 8:30 PM and will be sung by Bob Fletcher, accompanied by Dave Burton and his orchestra. All the stars on the Strip and the downtown casinos have been invited to appear at the rally after their first shows. Mayor Oran Gragson will issue a proclamation sometime this weekend, marking Monday as "Israel Peace Day" it was learned late Friday. The main speaker at the rally will be Rev, Doctor Carl Herman Voss, a clergyman who returned from Israel only last week. At the rally an urgent appeal for funds will be made, trying to reach a quota of $500,000 set for Las Vegas by American Jewish leaders. Quotas for Jewery in every free nation in the world have been set and are being met in a tremendously emotional response to the crisis now facing Israel, with the money going only to take care of its economic needs and not for arms or weapons. # # # #
