Dr. Kurt Blumenfeld, director of the Hebrew University’s publicity department, was today elected president of the General Zionist Party’s “A” or pro-laborite group at a conference here. The conference adopted a resolution urging the early establishment of a committee to coordinate relations between employee and employers and to act on other economic problems. Members of the Isaac Gruenbaum faction of the party walked out of the conference, declaring it was not authorized to elect a president and that they would not participate in the administration.
