The membership of Hapoel Hamizrachi, the Mizrachi Workers Party of Israel, is now 50,000–double what it was three years ago–it was reported here last-night at the opening of the 11th national council of the organization. A total of 60 settlements have already been established in various parts of the country by members of the movement.
