mittee members during today’s general debate expressed their belief that the liquidated Jewish Colonial Trust can still be reestablished. M. M. Ussishkin, head of the Jewish National Fund, suggested that the Jewish Colonial Trust, if reestablished, should operate only in Palestine.

DEMAND SABBATH OBSERVANCE

Rabbi Meier Berlin, leader of the Mizrachi Zionists, Orthodox organization, demanded again today that the Actions Committee take an outspoken attitude with regard to the enforcement of the observance of Sabbath in those Jewish colonies which are subsidized by Zionist funds.

The Actions Committee decided not to set any date for the transfer of the remains of Dr. Theodor Herzl, the father of political Zionism, from Vienna to Palestine. The decision will be adopted at the next session which will take place during the week of the forthcoming Zionist Congress.
