2nd Labor Party Conference.

Labour Party 2nd Convention.

Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin turned back the challenge of Shimon Peres and retained the mantle of Labour Party leadership by a slim margin of only 41 votes. The convention, electrified by the Rabin-Peres contest, gave both Rabin and Peres rousing ovations after the final results annouced. Photo shows Moshe Dayan.
