Hungry Israel
to Get More
Meat and Eggs

TEL AVIV—(Special)—Israeli
citizens are going to eat a little
better.
Supply Minister Bernard Jos-
eph has revealed that the auster-
ity program will be loosened
enough to give Israelis more beef
and eggs.
The relaxation of the strict
regulations is due to the improved
economic conditions and a more
rational use of resources, he ex-

plained.
HUGE IMPORT BILL 1

Israel spends $40,000,000 an-
nually for imported food. The
new nation produces no sugar or
oil seeds, only 10 per cent of her
grain requirements and less than
five per cent of her meat.•
Home production includes but
'40 per cent of the milk needed,
42 per cent of the fish and 90
per cent of the vegetables.
Joseph reported that a vast ag-
ricultural scheme is planned fin.

farm production.

Simultaneously, a high Israeli
official declared that it was Is-
rael's position that "most of the
Arab refugees must be settled in
the Arab countries" and that "se-
curity reasons and the need of
preventing friction in the future
make it impossible for Israel to
agree to the entry of large num-
bers of Arabs on its territory."
The maximum number of Arab
refugees acceptable to Israel is
believed to be 100,000 and the Tel
Aviv government is expected to
resist pressure for a more elastic
policy. It is rumored that the
United States is still pressing the
250,000 figure.

WINDS SHIFTING

Indications of a change of at-
titude by some church authorities
toward the Jerusalem problem
became evident with the disclo-
sure that the Israeli government
was prepared to grant territorial
status to the holy places in the
city and to give the clergy the
same rights it enjoyed under the
British mandate.
Concurrent with a report. of a
softening by the Vatican on the
