He said there was no need for him to reiterate his statements during the meetings that Sharon was unsuitable for the Aliya Department post and that the post was being held open for a Herut Party candidate. Both Premier Yitzhak Sharon and Defense Minis- ter Moshe Arens had urged the Zionist General Council to endorse Sharon's candi- dacy.

Jerold Hoffberger of Baltimore, chairman of the Jewish Agency Board of Governors, opposed Sharon's candi- dacy. While he praised the retired general as a military man, he asserted that he was not a person Diaspora youth would follow. Sharon's rejection by the council despite heavy pressure exerted by Shamir is a blow to the former Defense Minis- ter's aspirations to make a political comeback. It is also a stinging blow to the prestige of Shamir him- self. Influential in the voting was the reported determi- nation of Hoffberger to de- rail the Sharon candidacy even if it were approved by the council. Hoffberger re- portedly told Shamir in a phone conversation earlier this week that he opposed Sharon and that he would have the agency's board of governors reject him. With- out the board's approval, Sharon could not have taken over the Aliya De- partment post. The Zionist General Council opened with an ad- dress by President Chaim Herzog who called on all Is- raelis and their institutions to fight "the plague of yerida," the departure of Is- raelis who take up perma- nent residence abroad. Among the preventive measures endorsed by Her- zog are special assistance to army veterans and rea- sonably priced rental flats for young couples. Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem touched on another problem in his address at the opening session. He accused the WZO of "doing nothing" for the capital. While ab- sorption centers in Jerusalem are packed to overflowing with immig- rants who can't find per- manent homes, there are 4,000 vacant apartments in the city, he said. Kollek warned that if present trends continue, the majority of Jerusalem's population would consist of Arabs and non-Zionist ultra-Orthodox Jews. Dulzin, who delivered the keynote address, called for a broad-based Zionist move- ment with a separate movement for those Jews committed to aliya. •C 1111• -4 t • Harvard Row Mall Lahser & 11 Mile Rd. 352-8888 w r 1 labor from $18.00 I I *It doesn't cost, It pays!
