The general policy of the Israel delegation at the United Nations session was discussed here last night at a regular Cabinet meeting. The Israel Ministers also considered the problem of immigration of Jews to Israel from Rumania and Hungary.
Shortly after the Cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett took off for Paris, enroute to New York where he will assume the leadership of the Israel delegation at lake Success. Before he took off, the Foreign Minister received Pavel Yershov, Soviet Minister to Tel Aviv. It was learned that they discussed the problem of Jerusalem.
(A cable from Paris this afternoon said that Mr. Sharett had arrived there. On the same plane with Mr. Sharett was Gershon Agron, chief of the government Information Department who will attend the U.J.A. national conference in Atlantic City November 25-27.)
