The workers of the Palestine Electric Corporation were informed today that Pinchas Rutenberg has left a letter asking them to continue their work as if he were alive. The text of this letter was read at a Rutenberg memorial meeting held here today, arranged by the Hadassah.

More than 1,200 friends and co-workers of Rutenberg gathered at his grave yesterday, on the Mount of Olives. Jewish soldiers recruited from among the employees of the Palestine Electric Corporation paraded in his honor.
