U. S. Group's Initiate Construction.
Of $3,500,000 Paper Mill in Israel

NEW YORK — (JTA)—Israel's
industrialization program was
given new impetus with the
signature of a contract initiat-
ing contruction there of a $3,-
500,000 paper mill which will be
the first in the Middle East to
produce printing and writing
paper as well as Kraft multi-
wall bag paper.
Start of the project to launch
a paper industry in Israel as a
means of helping to offset the
current world-wide shortage of
paper products was announced
by its two major sponsors, the
Palestine Economic Corporation
and the Mazer. family of the
Hudson Pulp and Paper Corn-
pany, both of New York.
Plans for the mill, scheduled
to be placed in construction this
fall and to be in operation by
1953, were jointly outlined by
Robert Szold, chain-ham of the
Board of the Palestine Econom-
ic Corporation, and Joseph M.
Mazer, treasurer of Hudson Pulp
and Paper Co. The Palestine
Economic Corporation has been
active for the past 25 years in
pioneering the development of
Israel through the - establish-
ment of new industries. The
Mazer family has been 'denti-

fied with the paper industry for
more than 50 years.
Mr. Szold and Mr. Mazer said
the new Israeli mill, will be
owned and operated by the
American Israeli Paper Mills
Ltd. The latter, an Israeli Cor-
poration with headqutrters at
Tel Aviv, was organized early
this year by PEC and the Mazer
family. Paper manufacturers
and merchants in he United
States, Israel, ,South America,
Europe, and Australia, also are
participating in the project, Mr.
Szold said.
The American Israeli mill is
initially designed for the pro-
duction of printing p a p e r,
multi-wall bag paper, semi-fine
writing paper and tablet paper,
with an annual capacity of
approximately 12,000 tons. Ex-
clusive of. newsprint • and tissue
paper, it is estimated that the
new plant's output will meet 60
percent of the country's current
over-all annual paper require-
ments. At present, Israel im-
ports all paper. It is estimated
that domestic production of 12,-
000 tons per year will mean an
annual saving for Israel of up
to $1,000,000 in foreign ex-
change.
