COALITION

PARLIAMENT

Tel-Aviv, July 21.

Israel's next parliament, to be elected on July 26, when about 1,000,000 voters go to the polls, will once again be a multi-party legislature.

It is virtually certain to be a coalition led by the moderate labour party Mapai, although there is no accurate forecast yet as to whether the members of the coalition will be to the left of Mapai, to its right or in both camps.

Philadelphia To Restore

Assembly Room

Philadelphia, July 21.

A two-year search of records promises soon to restore the Assembly room of Philadelphia's Independence Hall to what it was like when John Hancock and his co-patriots 'met in it at the birth of the United States as a nation.

The General Fedoration of Women's Clubs is financing the refurnishing of the Hall's first floor. Prospects of finding the original furniture are not very hopeful as most pieces were destroyed or disappeared during British occupation of the city in the Revolutionary war..
