Hundreds of Zionists-Revisionists marked today the 18th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Jabotinsky, noted Revisionist leader, with a pilgrimage to his grave at nearby Pinelawn, Long Island. In the procession were delegations from a number of Latin countries, Canada and Israel.

A shipment of earth flown from Israel was scattered over the grave while members of the Jewish Legion of World War I, organized by Jabotinsky, and of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States gave a military salute. In his last will, Jabotinsky asked that his remains should be reinterred in Israel if such a request were made by a Jewish government. Thus far, the Ben Gurion government has taken no such action.
