JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Is-
tael Cabinet authorized Finance
Minister Eliezer Kaplan to make
any expenditures necessary in

ing general elections. The cab-
inet asked. all government agen-
cies to make every effort to ac-
celerate preparations for t h e
elections. Opinion was that
elections could not be held be-
fore July.
Mayor I. Rokach of Tel Aviv,
a General Zionist leader, accused
certain members of the Knes-
set's committee drawing up a
new election law with inten-
tionally prolonging discussions
on the bill in order to delay the
elections. He t o 1 d newsmen
that the elections could be held
in June.
(In New York, just prior to
his return to Israel, Minister of
Religions Judah L. Maimon de-
clared that he did not believe
the decision to hold national
elections was a "desirable" pol-
itical move. He blamed the Re-
ligious Bloc and Premier Ben-
Gurion for the present govern-
ment crisis but said it was too
late now to restore the old coal-
ition.)

Some 900,000 persons will be
eligible to vote in the forth-
coming general elections in
Israel. Registration will be
based 011 residence as of
March 1, 1951.

In anticipation of the elec-

tions, attempts are being made
to bring about the merger of
the General Zionist Party with
the Progressive Party. A meet-
ing to this effect took place here
with the General Zionists repre-
sented by a group headed by
Peretz Bernstein, while the
spokesman for the Progressives
were headed by Pinhas Rosen,
Israel's Minister of Justice. Par-
; ticipating in t h e discussions
were Dr. Nahum Goldmann,
Rose Halprin and Fred Monos-
son, all of the United States.
(Dr. Emanuel Neumann, Gen-
eral Zionist leader, on his re-
turn to New York from Israel,
denied published reports that he
had concluded a "secret agree-
ment" with Premier Ben-Gur-
l
ion for a new Government coal-
ition.)
I A meeting of representatives
of the Mizrachi, Agudas Israel
and labor wings of both organ-
izations agreed formally to re-
constitute the Religious Bloc for
the forthcoming national elec-
tions.
At a meeting at which Lamif-
neh, dissident wing of the Labor
!Mizra.chi
was not repre-
I 1 sented, the group
Labor Mizrachi Or-
ganization decided to join the
Religious Bloc coalition. T h e
dissident group previously voted
against joining t h e Religious
1 Bloc slate and split with the
parent organization on the is-
sue of compulsory service for
Orthodox women.
Another party will appear on
the election lists as a result of
a split in the Herut Party. Eri
Jabotinsky and HilIel Kook-
Bergson announced they h a d
left the Herut and asked the
Knesset for recognition as a
separate faction.
M e i r Grossman, Revisionist
leader, issued a call for forma-
tion of a broad national con-
centration party. He announced
that if this party was not es-
tablished the Revisionist Party
would run its own Slate in the
elections.
