sed faith that the Latin Ameri-
can peoples faithful to their
democratic ideas would awaken
to the danger threatening that
tradition.
Satisfaction was voiced over
the "growing Aliyah" from
Latin America and viewed it as
an expression of the national
consciousness of Latin Ameri-
can Jewry "which thus gives
the Zionist answer to anti-
Semitic manifestations and ob-
jectives 'developments which
may, threaten Jewish communi-
ties." The Israel government
was asked to increase its efforts
for absorption of immigrants
from Latin American countries.
In a concluding address, Dr.
Nahum Goldmann, president of
the World Zionist Organization,
touched on the issue of West
German scientists working for
the Nasser regime; said that
Germany more than .any other
country should be sufficiently
sensitive to the issues -to for-
bid its nationals to participate
in this kind of "socalled scien-
tific work," and added hope
that a large part of the Ger-
man people were aware of this.
JERUSALEM—After a day of
debate and negotiations in the
steering committee of the World
Zionist Actions Committee, the
delegates voted Wednesday to
give memberships to the Herut
Party on the Jewish Agency Ex-
ecutive. The vote was 53 to 47.
One feature of the debate was
a proposal by Dr. Israel Gold-
stein, former American Gen-
eral Zionist leader, that the
steering committee allow one
Herut representative on the ex-
ecutive instead of the two, which
the party had demanded.
Representatives of Israel's
three labor parties — Mapai,
Mapam and Achdut Avodah --
declared in a statement to the
plenary that they were opposed
to Herut membership. They con-
tended that the composition of
the Jewish Agency Executive
was the outcome of an under-
standing between the coalition
parties at the last Zionist Con-
gress which should not be upset
now. However, it was clear that
the labor parties had dropped a
threat to resign from the ex-
ecutive if the Herut Party was
given membership.

ty's member on the executive. Is One of Israel's
