Morris Margulies, for the past

er, has joined the United Jewish

that will take him from New

visit to two hundred Jewish com-
munities in forty six states.
Among the purposes of Mr. Mar-
gulies’ tour is the strengthening
of local groups in each commun-
ity cooperating with the United
Jewish War Effort in its campaign
for one million dollars for the
war relief of the United Nations,
principally Britain, Russia and
China and the securing, for the

DESCRIBE GRUESOME
MURDER OF CHIEF RABBI
Kuibyshev (JPS) — Gruesome
particulars of the murder of Chief
Rabbi Z ire Ison of Kishineff have
been released to the Soviet pr4ss
by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Com-
mittee, which based its account
on the reports of Jewish refugees
who arrived in Saratov.
The refugees related that the
Rumanians brokp into Rabbi
Zirelson’s home while he was
engrossed in Talmudic studies
and led him under guard to the
place of execution in the center
of the city. There he was be-
headed with an axe, and his bead
left to lie at the foot of the ex-
ecution block for several days.
The official reason given for
the execution was that when the
Russians had occupied Bessarabia,
Rabbi Zirelson had remained at
his post in Kishineff instead of
proceeding to Rumania, thus in-
dicating that he was pro-Russian.
PALESTINE PARTY FEELING
WAR ABOLISHES ALL FACTIONS
Jerusalem (JPS-Palcar) — By a vote of 205 to 2, the Mapay,
Jewish Labor Party of Palestine, abolished all factional lines in a
move to eliminate rising friction within the organization and la
impose discipline upon all party members became of wartime con-
ditions.
The action came during the voting on a series of amendments to
the constitution which were proposed by David ben Gurion, Chair-
man of the Jewish Agency Executive, who was Chairman of the
Standing Committee of the Mapay conference held at the Jrwirii
settlement of Kfar Vitkin.
The amendments consist of 19 clauses based on three fundamentals:
(1) “The party has the task of
fulfilling its war obligations in a
democratic manner, functioning
through the collective will of its
members and imposing its disci-
pline upon all its members and
representatives.” (2) “The Con-
stitution rejects the existence of
any faction within the party, while
all infractions of discipline will
involve expulsion from the party."
(3) The principle of personal el-
ection of delegates is introduced.
Hereafter delegates to the con-
ference will not be elected by the
proportional representation sys-
tem as they have in the past. The
amendments also define the
ubility of a referendum among
the members upon controversial
issues, either at die decision of
the Central Committee or on the
demand of a group of its members.
In an atmosphere of tension
that gripped the entire Yishuv as
the news of the opening of the
British offensive in the Western
Desert trickled into the country,
the third national conference of
Mapay opened at the People's
House at ,Kfar Vitkin in the Val-
ley of Hefer.
The need for achieving unity
in the labor movement itself, of
mobilizing all the resources of
Palestine for the war effort and
of formulating a political pro-
gram for present and future needs
dominated the addresses as 500
delegates and hundreds of visitors
from all parts of the country
crowded the biggest hall in the
little Jewish settlement. Through
the audience were scores of men
wearing the uniforms of the Brit-
ish Army.
During the principal address
of the sessions, Mr. Ben Gurion
urged maximum mobilization for
the fight against Hitler, uninter-
rupted immigration and coloni-
zation despite all the problems.
In this corner of the world, the
strength of the Yishuv can be
decisive, be declared. There are
new factors emerging in the
world and Zionist policy, he
stressed, cannot remain oblivious
to orientation to tomorrow's fact-
ors. *
Dealing with the Arab question,
Mr. Ben Gurion declared that the
labor movement is the only one
exerting an effort to reach an
agreement with the Arabs. An
agreement with the Arabs does
not mean an agreement among
Jews regarding the
an agreement with the Arab
but an understanding with
Arabs themselves in !
neighboring countries.
