David Ben Gurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, and Rabbi Judah L. (##)man, Mizrachi leader, arrived here last night from Zurich, where they attended (##) meeting of the Zionist Actions Committee. Commenting on the UNSCOP report, Ben (##)on said that the Agency will “unhesitatingly strive for the establishment of a (##)sh state.” Rabbi Fishman was more reserved, stating that “we are far from satisfied with the majority’s recommendations. We cannot agree to tearing Jerusalem from (##) Jewish state, but if compelled to do so, we will agree to partition, but with (##) less territory than recommended by the U.N. group.”
