A delegation of the Jewish National Council headed by Isaac Ben Zvi, president, today called on Dr. Chaim Weizmann at his residence in Rehovoth and extended to him an official invitation to testify before the U.N. inquiry committee.
Dr. Weizmann received the delegation cordially and it is assumed that he will agree to appear. The group included David Remez, chairman of the executive of the Jewish National Council, Dr. George Landauer and Dr. Abraham Katzenlson, also executive members.
The Movement for Labor Unity, left-wing opposition group in the Jewish Labor Party, today notified the Jewish Agency executive and the presidium of the Zionist Actions Committee that its representatives will appear separately before the inquiry committee to submit its views on the solution of the Palestine problem. The group also demanded the immediate convocation of the full Actions Committee.
(Jewish Agency circles in London today stated that the full session of the Zionist Actions Committee, which was scheduled to open in Jerusalem on June 15, has been postponed at the request of the American members of that body who would be unable to reach. Palestine by the 15th.)
