American Zionists
Postpone Elections
To June 30, July
This issue of The Jewish News was on the press
when word was received from New York that the elec-
tion to the World Zionist Congress was postponed to
June 30 and July L
This action was taken Wednesday by the National
Shekel Board ,after the Labor Zionists and Mizrachi had
decided to order their follower's not to vote June 16-17.
The Jewish News at the last moment revised this
page to make this announcement.
The decision to hold the election on June 30 and
July 1 nullifies the statements appearing in advertise-
ments in this issue, in the editorial and in the story on
Page 5, regarding a split in Zionist ranks. •

Joyous Reunion:
Arrival at Haifa, Palestine, of a refugee-
ship from LaSpezia, Italy, with her husband, brought joy to the
woman shown embracing him. They last had seen each other
in 1941 in Poland. She believed him dead until she saw his
name on the ship's sailing list while docking at Haifa.
