permitting schoolchildren to
stage a mass march of mourn-
ing for their late beloved
mayor.
President Ben-Zvi, Prime Min-
ister Ben-Gurion, members of
the Cabinet and other notables,
stood before the catafalque on
which the remains of Mr. Agron
lay in state, as the eulogy was
delivered by Moshe Sharrett,
former Prime Minister and ex-
Foreign Minister.
Hundreds of messages of con-
dolence were received from
leading Jewish organizations as
well as from Zionist and Jewish
communal leaders throughout
the world.
Profound sorrow at the pass-
ing of Agron was expressed by
Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, acting
chairman of the New York exec-
utive of the Jewish Agency for
Israel.
Tribute by Labor Leaders
Recalling the late Mayor
Agron's visit in Detroit in
behalf of Histadrut and their
visit with him in Israel where
he conducted a tour of Hista-
drut installations, two local
leaders in the American Cloth-
ing Workers Union paid trib-
ute to his memory.
David
Chaney,
president,
Central States Joint Board of
ACWA, AFL-CIO, and Morris
Spitzer, president of the De-
troit and Midwestern States
Joint ACWA Board, stated:
"To our way of thinking
Gershon Agron was the Per-
sonification of the new Israeli
citizen, taking great pride in
the advancement of the State
and approaching the tasks of
the future with serious deter-
mination."
Expressing their "sense of
loss in the death of this great
man," the two labor leaders
added that the "loss also is
shared by the entire American
trade union movement which
Mayor Agron had come to
know so well."
