The situation within the American Jewish community also held the center of attrac- tion.

He said that it would be a fatal error to create the impression that Zion- ism is to be limited to helping Israel absorb immigration and stated that the Zionist Organi- zation must continue its work because what has been achieved is only the beginning. _____ A well trained, courageous CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Harold Zald wishes to thank relatives and friends for the many kind- nesses shown them in their re- cent bereavement.

This procedure would be a "fatal mistake," Dr. Goldman insisted, and suggested that the Agency itself might be enlarged to give non-Zionists a voice in the dis- tribution of funds in whose col- lectioi they have assisted. Some 50 newly-arrived im- migrants demonstrated for em- ployment and adequate housing outside the Agency building where the meeting was taking place. Dr. Israel Goldstein, Agency treasurer, reported that in that period a total of 14 reception camps and 33 new settlements had been established, and that building construction was under way in many abandoned Arab villages to provide accomoda- tions for new Jewish arrivals.
