went into immediate session
to work out arrangements for
the official funeral. The na-
tional flag atop the Agency
building in the heart of Jeru-
salem was lowered to half
staff.
Pincus' death found his
chief lieutenant, Moshe Riv-
lin, the agency's director
general, abroad in Europe.
He was notified and flew
back. Abroad, too, was the
agency treasurer and now
acting chairman, Arye Dult-
zin. He too was summoned
home.
Arye Abraham Pincus was
born at Clocolan in the Or-
ange Free State of South
Africa in 1912 and graduated
from the Witwatersrand Uni-
versity Law School in 1934
when he opened a practice in
South Africa.
