Israel Announces
Plans to Increase
Revenue. for Year

- TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Israel
Government has announced its
determination to increase its
revenue this year.
The announcement was made
by Finance Minister Eliezer Kap-
lan who revealed that in the
last fiscal year the actual gov-
ernment revenue exceeded esti-
mates by more than $2,000,000.
The Minister emphasized that
a considerable amount of capi-
tal must be imported for the
absorption of mass immigration
in the country. "If we fail in
this, we shall be confronted
with grave repercussions," he
declared. -He added that foreign
investments depend upon the
following three factors: 1. In-
creased production; 2. Lower
prices; 3. Curtailment of foreign
currency needs.
The Ministry of Trade and
Industry revealed that with the
adoption by the Parliament of
legislation to encourage capital
investments, public investment
has reached new heights both
in Israel and abroad.
The Israel Manufacturers As-
sociation announced it will send
an 18-man delegation to the
United States to study American
methods of production and ad-
ministration in the steel, tex-
tile, shoe, lumber and plastics
industries.
Three-quarters of Israel's 2,-
200 disabled war veterans have
already f o u n d employment,
Yosef Gurion, chief of the Re-
habilitation Division of the De-
fense Ministry, announced. Of
the remaining 25 percent, he
said, 70 are still undergoing
treatment, 118 are classified as
unemployable and the remaind-
er will be placed in jobs shortly.
In addition, 4,000 veterans
classified as invalids and cared
for by the division 'are not en-
titled to pensions because the
illness or disability which land-
ed them in a hospital existed
before their enlistment. Of this
group only 300 remain unem-
played and include some 150
tuberculosis and mental patients
whose complete recovery is
doubtful. All except 200 dis-
abled veterans who requested
housing have already had this
need answered.

Direct JTA Teletype Wires
To The Jewish News

JERUSAIEM— A Lebanese
plane intercepted over Israel
territory succeeded in escap-
ing across the border into
Lebanon, a military spokes-
man announced here Tues-
day.
The plane appeared Mon-

ern part of Israel. Interna-

by an Israel fighter plane
were ignored by the Lebanese
aircraft, whereupon the Is-
rael fighter fired a warning
salvo.

gave up the chase when both
planes reached the Lebanese
border since the Israel flier
did not wish to go into Leb-

called peace petitions being cir-
culated in many parts of the
world have "their source in that
power which has planned and
executed the breach of peace in
Korea" and "are designed to
exploit mankind's natural love
of peace in order to break down
resistance to planned totali-
tarian aggression."
The peace petitions already
were condemned by the Labor
Zionist Organization of America
and other national organiza-
tions.
