WZO Comptroller Urges Reorganization of Agency

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
M. B. Meiri, comptroller
of the World Zionist Or-
ganization, said that the
WZO must be thoroughly
reorganized to eliminate
waste, inefficiency, dupli-
cation and other faults
revealed in a study of its
operations abroad.
He said the worst de-
ficiencies were found in
the work of the Israel
Aliya Center in North
America and the De-
partment of Torah Cul-
ture and Education.
The WZO Executive
has responded in writing
-) the comptroller's re-
port. It admitted that
many of the faults
existed, but claimed that
corrective measures have
been taken or were about
to be taken. It listed a se-
ries of recommendations
that have been approved.
The comptroller found
some of the worst defects
in the activities of Zionist
emissaries sent abroad by
the various departments
of the WZO. He said that in
many cases there was no
coordination between
newly arrived emissaries
and the outgoing ones with
the result that many proj-
ects are suspended until
the new emissary has time
to study them.
Thf comptroller urged
the Executive to make
sure that emissaries are
thoroughly prepared for
their jobs, are knowl-
edgeable about Jewish
tradition and religion and
speak the language of the
country to which they are
assigned.
The WZO Executive
said in its response that it
has approved recom-
mendations dealing with
the selection and activi-
ties of overseas emis-
saries. These include the
selection of a single in-
stitution to prepare emis-
saries for their duties and
the goal of having a single
emissary serve more than
one WZO department.
The WZO also recom-
mended that the assign-
ments,.,.. Of emissaries
should be reviewed to
eliminate large concen-
trations in one location
and none in another.
WZO Executive Chair-
man Yosef Almogi stated
in a foreword to the Execu-
tive's replies that a Comp-
troller Report Unit would
be established to follow up
implementation of all rec-
ommendations.
Almogi said that
another step taken to im-
prove the WZO's effi-
ciency was the reorgani-
zation of the internal con-
trol system by means of
- eternal controllers ap-
ij ointed in each depart-
ment. In some cases this
recommendation already
has been implemented, he
said.
