Mrs. Rose Halprin, a member of the Jewish Agency executive in New York, said here last night that a final decision on allocation of portfolios in the new Agency executive will be made at the March meeting of the executive.
The decision to delay distribution of portfolios, made by the newly-elected executive at the meeting of the World Zionist Actions Committee earlier this month, was attributed by Mrs. Halprin to difficulties in reaching an agreement at the Jerusalem meeting. She spoke at a meeting of officers of the British Zionist Federation.
She said she felt that the deliberations at the Zionist Actions Committee meeting had conveyed to the delegates a sense of urgency in dealing with such problems as Jewish education, aliya and fund-raising.
