Peter BergsonKook. who died in New York on March 2 at the age of 45. Betty Bergson helped to organize the American League for a Free Palestine in the days when Jewish settlers in the Holy Land were fighting for Independence and for the establishment of Israel as a free nation. Born in Kansas City. she inspired Americans of all faiths to join with her in the cause she championed. then later went to the displaced persons camps in Europe to help in getting the refugees past the blockade and into Palestine. Her enthusiasm. devotion. and dedication had few equals. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Appendix of the RECORD the obituaries which appeared on March 4 in the New York Herald Tribune. and in the New York World Telegram.
