the same name, it was always
necessary to refer either to the
Neuman or Goldstein - Halprin
units. Each had supporters from
General Zionist ranki in other
lands, and each claimed large
membership representations.
Because of such an unfor-
tunate split,. the prestige of
the American delegation was
lowered at the Congress,
whose international character
was unquestioned.
Why didn't the two groups
amalgamate to form a single
unit? Blame was bandies around.
Shelving the personality quar-
rel, a serious problem emerges:
why a split among so large a
group of Jews who do so much
if they are united? -
Many delegates left Jerusalem
with the feeling that something
drastic should and must be done
to merge the • two elements. Un-
less that is attained, the Zionist
movement in America , will be
additionally weakened. Unless
there is a united Zionist front,
all of Ameritan Jewry's activi-
ties will be injured.

all. What is needed
in the United States is a single
confederated Zionist movement,
combining all parties. If all the
delegates to 'the Zionist Congress
from the . United- States were
to come to Jerusalem as
a unit, they would carry with
them the strength that is, truly
necessary to create an aliyah
spirit. But a splintered move-
ment represents a weakened
body, and Zionism will be-re-
duced in stature unless there is
an end to splintering.
All delegates to the Congress,
from all • communities and all
parties will do well to undertake
a campaign to end all squabbles
and to strive for united action.
Let it start in the ZOA. Let it
move on to the league, then to
the. other parties, regardless of
their coloration. Let there' first
be . a united ZOA—by a return
to leadership- of Israel Goldstein,
Judge Louis Levinthal, Ezra Sha-
piro, Dewey Stone and others;
let Dr. Emanuel Neumann wel-
come them by arriving at amica-
bility; and from there let there
be a movement for a confed-
erate—a single overall body—'of
all American Zionists. Then
there will be strength in the
movement that struggled for and
made possible the rebirth of the
State of Israel.
Mapam Leader Go
on Trial for Cont
with Foreign Age
HAIFA, (JTA) —
hen, an expert on

. • formerly a leader of th
■ = pam Party, went on trial here
. efore a district court of three
judges, charged with "maintain-
ing contact with foreign agents
-rid endangering the security of
the State." He pleaded not
guilty.
Friday, the three-judge panel
visited Cohen's home kibbutz,
Shaar Haamakim. According to
the prosecutor, the accused had
met at his home in the kibbutz
with foreign agents. Coheh, au-
thor of a number of books on
Arab and Middle East problems,
told the court that his contact
with foreigners was solely for
the purpose of scientific study,
claiming that he had received
books from his visitors that he
needed for his scientific work.
