Elaborate preparations were announced today for the funeral of Dr. Leo Motzkin, noted Zionist leader, which is to be held here on April 19. The procession will start from the Jewish Agency Building, where eulogies on the dead statesman will be pronounced by prominent Palestinians. The funeral procession will then proceed to the Mount of Olives where Dr. Motzkin will be buried.
Dr. Motzkin died in Paris last November 7. He was 66 years old and had been in ill health for several years. His body was temporarily interred in a French Jewish cemetery. Yesterday the body was sent to Palestine for interment.
