Menachem Beigin, former commander of the Irgun in Israel and leader of the Herut movement there, arrived here today to participate in a pilgrimage next Sunday to the grave of Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder and leader of the Zionist Revisionist movement, who died in New York ten years ago during a visit to the United States. Mr. Jabotinsky is buried at the New Montefiore Cemetery at Pinelawn, Long Island.
Bags of earth from the graves of Dr. Theodor Herzl, Dr. Max Nordau, Joseph Trumpeldor, as well as from those underground fighters who fell in the fight for the establishment of Israel, are being flown from the Jewish state on a special plane. They will be mixed with the earth of Jabotinsky’s grave.
