The seven-day World Revisionist Conference concluded here last night after deciding to unite with the Irgun-sponsored Herut Party in Israel under the name of the Herut Union of Israel. In other countries the movement will continue to be known as the Zionist-Revisionist Party.
The executive of the Israeli party will be composed of five members of the Revisionist group and seven from the Herut. The world council of the party will be composed of 33 members from each faction. It will meet within a few months to discuss the calling of a new world conference.
Meir Grossman, former head of the World Revisionist Party, will net be a member of the executive of the new body, but will remain as the Revisionist representative on the Jewish Agency executive. Betar, the Revisionist youth movement, will come under the control of the Herut Union as an agricultural chalutz movement.
