Name Street for Herzl

RIO DE JANEIRO, (JTA)—
A campaign by the press and
the public in this Brazilian
capital city has convinced
Mayor Alim Pedro to with-
draw his veto and sign - a de-
cree passed by the City
Council to rename one of Rio
de Janeiro's streets for Dr.
Theodor Herzl.

Mayor Pedro, who is of
Lebanese descent, said that
Dr. Herzl was an "unknown
name." Therefore he would not
agree to the renaming of the
street in his honor. However,
continued criticism in the
press and a campaign
sparked by several members
of the City Council, including
the sponsor of the original
motion to honor the founder
of modern Zionism, forced
Mayor Pedro's change of
heart.
