Dr. Emanuel Neumann, member of the Jewish Agency executive, who returned yesterday from Israel, reported today that the plenary sessions of the Agency’s executive which were held in Jerusalem last week were “most fruitful.”

“Top priority,” he said, “was given to a thoroughgoing review of the status of Jewish communities in a number of countries where their position has become precarious, and to adjusting the new budget of the Jewish Agency for the next fiscal year in the Light of substantially incr eased immigration.

“A third important subject was the strengthening of the Zionist movement in the United States, to the consideration of which, two full sessions were devoted, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president, and Moshe Sharett, chairman of the executive, were authorized to conduct exploratory conversations with all American Zionist groups on the basis of certain recommendations they had submitted to the World Zionist executive,” Dr. Neumann revealed.
