The World Zionist Organization Executive decided to divide the WZO organization and information department into two separate departments. Avraham Schenker was temporarily appointed head of the organization department and Eli Eyal was appointed temporary head of the information department. The appointments are effective until April II, when the Jewish Agency Board of Governors convenes here to discuss the permanent appointments. The major issue to be discussed by the Board is the appointment of a new treasurer. The Likud candidate is Deputy Minister Yoram Aridor. The Labor Alignment insists on Akiva Levnisky.
