Rechter, an architect of this city, has won first prize in a contest for plans for the proposed building in Jerusalem which will house the future World Zionist Congress sessions, it was announced by Rabbi Zeev Gold, member of the Jewish Agency executive. The structure–on which work will begin in a few weeks–will be equally divided between a hall seating 3,000 and working headquarters for the World Zionist Organization.
