A total of 65,666 Shekolim were sold in Argentina this year as compared with 50,000 sold in 1948 and less than 40,000 in 1946, it was revealed here at a special meeting at which official tabulation of the Shekolim sold was conducted by representatives of all Argentine Zionist parties.

In the order of their strength, the Argentine delegates elected by the sale of Shekolim to the forthcoming World Zionist Congress are listed as follows: Poale Zion-Hitachdut, General Zionists, left Poale-Zion, Hashomer Hatzair, WIZO, Revisionists, Hapoel Hamizrachi, Sefardim and Mizrachi.

Resolutions expressing support of Meir Grossman, Revisionist leader and Jewish Agency executive member whose resignation from the Agency was demanded by Israel Revisionists, were adopted by the central committees of the Revisionist organizations in Argentina and Chile. The resolution adopted by the Argentine Revisionist Party’s central committee voiced “confidence in Meir Grossman as Revisionist representative on the executive of the Jewish Agency.”
