Deputy Farbstein will temporarily conduct the affairs of the Jewish Parliament Club, or “Kolo,” until the Kolo will choose a permanent president.
At yesterday’s session of the Kolo, Deputy Gruenbaum was elected president with 8 against 3 votes. Gruenbaum, however, refused to accept the office, stating that he is dissatisfied with such a majority, since some of the Kolo members had declared that their voting for Gruenbaum should not be interpreted as a sign that they are in complete agreement with all of his policies.
