Tsur was to resign as chair- man of the Israeli desalination committee, following his decision to join the Rafi list. He issued a statement Sunday, saying that he agreed with the announced Rafi goal of seeking changes in various spheres of government after the election. Gen. Dayan said he felt that the split in Mapai could have been averted if Eshkol's majority group had wished to do so. He said now that Rafi had emerged as an "independent political movement," he felt that it could serve as a "good instrument" for achieving "urgently needed" changes. He added he felt that Mapai was for maintenance of the status quo. The Rafi council held a meeting last weekend, following the Mapai Court of Honor ruling to expel Ben- Gurion and three of his followers from Mapai. The council decided to accept a recommendation from former Deputy Defense Minister Shimon Peres that all members of Rafi cease all participation in the organizational f r a mew o r k of Mapai, making the break com- Egyptian Firm Gets plete.
