The reports in the press abroad concerning the alleged resignation of Col. Frederick H. Kisch from the Zionist Executive were declared in well informed circles here to be utterly unfounded.
It was explained that the reports probably had their origin in the temporary assumption by Harry Sacher of the negotiations with the Palestine government, especially in connection with the inquiry into the disturbances. Col. Kisch continues his general supervision of the work of the Executive, principally in the questions of security and the direction of the relief and reconstruction work together with Rabbi Meyer Berlin.
Another report concerning the refusal by Palestine government officials of a subscription from Attorney General Norman Bentwich to a British police fund is denied here. No such fund was organized by British officials in Palestine. A fund was organized by the wives of some of the officials to which Mr. Bentwich made a contribution, which was accepted.
