More than 150,000 persons of Tel Aviv joined in last tributes to Berl Katznelson, one of the outstanding Jewish labor leaders of Palestine and editor of Davar, whose death occurred Saturday evening. A procession of cars and busses five kilometers long escorted the body from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. Burial was at Kinnereth.
On the way from Tel Aviv to Kinnereth, the procession halted at each Jewish settlement, where the settlers, standing in lines at both sides of the road, bearing the white-blue blags of Zion, bowed in silence. The Palestine press is full of lengthy articles describing Katznelson’s role in the upbuilding of the Yishub and the Zionist movement.
