Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the World Union of General Zionists, cabled greetings today to former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion on the occasion of the latter’s 80th birthday, which occurs Saturday.
In his message, Dr. Neumann declared: “All Zionists the world over, regardless of party and shades of opinion, join the Government and people of Israel in tribute to your manifold historic achievements which have inscribed your name imperishably among our immortals. God grant you continued health, vigor and fruitful achievements for many years to come.”
