The newly elected Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization, last night held a brief session at which it discussed the transfer of the remains of Dr. The odor Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, from Vienna, where he lies buried, to Palestine.
Dr. Reichenberg, former personal secretary to Dr. Herzl, testified that the Zionist leader shortly before his death in 1904 had expressed the desire to be buried at Hadar Hacarmel, a surburb of Haifa in Palestine, overlooking the sea.
The Actions Committee decided to effect the transfer of Herzl’s remains to Palestine before the end of the year, leaving it to a committee of the Actions Committee, Jewish Agency, and Vaad Leumi, Jewish National Council in Palestine, to decide the exact place.
