JERUSALEM, (JTA) ~ The 27Ui World Zionist Coi«ress dosed with tie traditional singing ot Hatikvah, the origfaial 'j^ionlst antiem nddch became tbe national antbem of IsraeL But many other traditions had been cast aside duringthe 10 days of idenaxy sessions and committee meetings.
The general' feeUog here vras that the Zionist movement substantially altered in Image and structure, was entering a new era, one that, for bet¬
ter or worse woulddetermfae tie fliture of atganlzedZIonr ism. ^2
FOR mE tUi«, the Con¬ gress dosed wtthout electing a new president, that task being deferred tothe Actions Committee vrtiich is expected to hold elections next year. Dr. Nafaum Goldmann, tiie'ln- liumbent, dedlned to stand tar anoUer' term. But In a dosing address to the Con¬ gress he said he would be at the disposal of the Zionist movement and Its Executives at aU times. "1 don't say goodbye I say adieu," Dr. Gddmann said. "Tbere Is ndUdag that can separate me from the Zionist move¬ ment,"
The Congress adopted by acclamation a revised pro¬ gram wUch deflnedtbe basic alms of the Zionist move¬ ment as: the unity ot the Jewish people and tbe cen- trality of the land ct Israel in its Ilfie; the integration of tbe Jewish people iii its his- toric homeland through aliyah (immigration) troin aU'lands; the strengthenfaig of the State of Israelfounded on the prophetic Ideals of justice and peace; the pre¬ servation of the Jewish peo¬ ple through the fosteriig of Jewisb education, Hebrew and Jewish spiritual and cul¬ tural values, andthe protect¬ ion ot Jewish rights every- wbere.
THE LATTER afanwasput to action inimedlately in res- dntions on tl^'pUgfatof Jews
in Soviet Russia, Pdand and In the Arab countries.
ResduUons ettacted ms)}- or changes in tbe organiza¬ tional structure ottbe move¬ ment. One caUed for estab¬ lishment of a single Zionist "root' organization In each countiy in which member¬ sUp wouldbe on an individual or institutional basis. An essentially non-ZIonlst or¬ ganization therefore could join the Zionist federation wtthout obUgfaig aU ot tts members to atfiUate. The next World Zionist Congress .wiU be comprised of dde¬ gates of poUtical parties, non-atUUoted groups andna- tiond delegations.
The resduUons also caU¬ ed for the estabUsiunent of a Zionist Coundl Inlsrael to "foster Zionist vdues" and "Jewish unity."
