Columbus, Ohio has been selected as the city for the forthcoming 46th annual Convention of the Zionist Organization of America which will meet in a three-day session over the weekend of September 11, Judge Louis E. Levinthal, president of the organization, announced here today. The sessions will be held in the Deshler-Wallick hotel.
Major problems affecting all aspects of the Zionist movement and its postwar program relating to the status of Palestine and the Jewish position throughout Europe, will be the main items on the convention agenda. Reports to be submitted to the convention will show a 50 percent increase in the membership of the organization over last year, according to figures made public here by Simon Shetzer, executive director of the ZOA.
