But I took it with the intention of shaking up the WZO and the Jewish Agency. "The organization is doing great things and it has even greater potential for the future." One of the primary goals of the new chairman will be to eliminate functions that are duplicated by the Israeli government, particularly in the area of immigrant absorp- tion, and generally tackle waste and inefficiency in a body that is notorious for both. Nothing in the career of Simcha Dinitz thus far has prepared him for the kind of opposition and outright obstruction he is certain to encounter from entrenched bureaucratic and political in- terests determined to protect their jobs, budgets and perks from a new broom. "He is," said one source, "going to have to show he can play hard-ball with kid gloves!" The stakes are high: no less than the survival of the Zionist movement are riding on the Dinitz term of office. If he succeeds in giving the Jewish Agency and WZO a renewed sense of purpose and self-respect he will have earned himself an indelible place in Jewish history and the enduring gratitude of Jews everywhere. If he fails, Simcha Dinitz may be remembered simply as the 16th — and last — chairman of the Zionist movement. Dinitz Begins Tenure By Tightening Belts Jerusalem (JTA) — Simcha Dinitz ordered tough cost- cutting measures Sunday, his first day in office as chairman of the World Zionist Organ- ization Executive. Dinitz, a Labor member of the Knesset and former am- bassadr to the United States, is concentrating WZO ac- tivities in Jerusalem. He ordered the closure of his Tel Aviv office and instructed the heads of all WZO depart- ments to do the same and work the full week in Jerusalem. In addition, Dinitz froze short- and long-term missions abroad scheduled for the next few weeks, pending review. All contracts with outside companies will be reviewed and all intended new appoint- ments to positions in the WZO will be held up, subject to review. Dinitz was elected to the post Dec. 7 by the 31st World Zionist Congress. He defeated his Likud challenger, Science and Industry Minister Gideon Patt, by a vote of 310-220. The election was by secret ballot. The congress ended in an uproar at dawn Dec. 11, with delegates hurling potted plants and other objects at each other on the dais. At issue was the size of a broad executive of the World Zionist Organization that is to func- tion alongside a smaller operational executive. Labor representatives wanted the broad body to comprise 51 members, while Likud sought a smaller number. Both major parties have nominated their key figures from the previous executive to Dulzin: Dashed hopes serve on the new one, but behind-the-scenes negotia- tions throughout the week- long congress failed to pro- duce agreement on the alloca- tion of the chairmanships of the departments here of the WZO. Congress sources said the Likud would almost certain- ly hold the treasury, though its candidate, Matityahu Drobles, was not favored by the American fund raisers and might not win their con- sent. The fund raisers had nixed the candidacy of WZO treasurer Akiva Lewinsky for chairman of the executive. The sources predicted that the Likud would continue to hold the co-chairmanship of the key settlement depart- ment, despite Labor's strenuous efforts to govern this department alone. Labor hopes to win the aliya depart- ment, which was held by Herut in the previous ex-
