Three hundred Zionist and other Jewish leaders tonight attended a special memorial service, in tribute to the late Louis Lipsky, conducted at the Jewish Agency headquarters here by Brith Rishonim, an organization of American Veteran Zionist. Mr. Lipsky, who died last May 27, was for many years president of the Zionist Organization of America, and was considered one of the principal architects of political Zionism in the United States.

At the meeting, which was presided over by Dr. Samuel Margoshes, a eulogy was given by Meyer Weisgal, chairman of the executive council of the Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovot Israel, and lifelong associate of the late Mr. Lipsky. Some of the deceased’s writings were read by Morris Margulies, secretary of the Rishonim.
