The President concluded his second round of consultations with the heads of the political parties and had his costumary weekly lunch with Prime Minister David Hen-Gurlon. Mr. Hen-Zvi is now expected to invite the Mapai party leadership in and ask them to propose a candidate for the premiership. If, as expected, Mapai mimes Mr. !>rn-Gurion, the President will invite Mr. Hen-Gurion to form a new Government and if Mr. Ben-Gurlon declines, will ask him to suggest an alternative from Mapai. Political leaders who conferred with Mr. Ben-Zvi came away with the impression that if Mr. Ben-Gurlon could not form a new Government, the President would take the Initiative in leroiuttilutmg the old coalition by actively seeking another Premier from Mapai ranks.
