Mayor Meier Dizengoff, who has been critically ill for the past two days, was reported steadily sinking this afternoon. Attending physicians held out little hope for his recovery. A third blood transfusion was performed this afternoon, but the mayor failed to rally.
Inquiries about his condition flooded Tel Aviv from all parts of the world. Mayor Dizengoff is seventy-four years old.
