Authorized quarters stated today that the executives of the Jewish Agency and Zionist Organization did not agree with Pinchas Rutenberg’s program for Palestine Jewish unity. These sources said that the executives had not been informed of Rutenberg’s proposals before their public announcement on Nov. 7.

It was also stated that the Jewish Agency and Zionist executives did not share or support the view expressed by Rutenberg that the American Jewish press did not have the right to interfere with Palestine Jewish affairs. It was stressed that this was solely Rutenberg’s personal view.
