Transcribed from the clipping

HAVANA, May 3 — The campaign to raise funds here to purchase land in Palestine has been highly successful, officials of the Zionist group said today. It is planned to name the tract Cuba.

Judge Morris Rothenberg, president, and Mendel Fisher, director, of the Jewish National Fund of America, arrived here from New York to confer with Nathan Bistritzky of Palestine, the Jewish leader heading a campaign to arouse sympathy in Latin America for a Jewish Palestine.

How this transcription was made

Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead or date line, so its date and newspaper rest on the record it arrived with, not on anything visible in the scan.

Context added by this archive

Date check: No masthead or page date line on the clipping. The credit line reads “By Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES,” corroborating `pub`. The dateline reads “HAVANA, May 3”, consistent with publication on 1944-05-04, but the printed date is not visible.
