A peace pact and a resolution to again endorse the policy of the extension of the Jewish Agency to include Zionists and non-Zionists were the major events at the annual convention of East Galician Zionists concluded yesterday at Stryj.

The convention was marked at the outset by a relentless fight between the followers of Dr. Leon Reich and the opposition groups. During the proceedings, and agreement was reached to conclude a peace pact to the effect that henceforth the warring factions will cease their polemics in the press. A special commission was chosen to seek ways of smoothing out the difficulties. By a majority vote, the extension of the Jewish Agency was again endorsed and a vote of confidence was given to the Reich Administration. The new executive elected consists of nine Reichists, four Oppositionists and one Revisionist.

Over 200 athletes, representing 29 Y. M. H. A.’s, Y. W. H. A.’s and Jewish Community Centers in the metropolitan area, will compete in the Fifteenth Annual Track and Field Meet of the Metropolitan League of Jewish Community Associations, to be held next Sunday afternoon at the Lewisohn Stadium of the College of the City of New York.
