From time to time recently, Mrs. Meir has let intimates know that she would like to have the succession problem settled. Following her wishes-as they usually do-leaders of the party, including Foreign Minister Abba Eban, Deputy Premier Yigal Alton, Minister Without Portfolio Israel Galili, Party Secretary-General Arie Eliav and about ten city bosses, finally met at Mayor Rabinowitz's home to settle the question.
