The Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization met today following postponement of the session from Tuesday as a result of demands made by the Laborite group for representation in proportion to their strength in the Eighteenth World Congress. Dr. Chaim Weizmann was not present at the meeting.
As the largest fraction, with a representation of approximately forty percent of the total at the Congress, the Laborite group, at the meeting today demanded the presidency of the committee. They agreed, however, to have Dr. Leo Motzkin continue in that position as usual with the proviso that no members of the Revisionist group be included on the presidium.
