U. S. Soil Expert Asks
Radical Re-Study of
Israel Irrigation Situation

HAIFA, (JTA) — Suggestions
for radical re-study of the whole
question of irrigation in Israel
were offered here by Prof. Philip
W. Manson, American soil and
water conservation expert, who
is at present serving with the
Technion as special advisor in
the setting up of the Institute's
newly planned Department of
Agricultural Engineering.
Prof. Manson declared that no
adequate study had been made
of the relative value to Israel
of flood irrigation as against the
overhead sprinkler system, and
he believed that such a study
might reveal startling informa-
tion.
No established facts are yet
available, he said, to determine
which irrigation method was
best for Israel. He questioned
whether the sprinkler system
was economical in the use of
water, pointing. out that under
temperature and humidity con-
ditions in Israel possibly as
much as 25 percent of the spray
never reached the ground.
The American expert, who
heads the Soil and Water Con-
servation. Department at t h e
University of Minnesota, de-
clared that in his opinion the
Technion should be enabled to
undertake such a study as part
of its significant work in the
field of engineering generally, in
Israel. At the same time, he
expressed surprise at the pro-
gress made in Other areas of
agricultural development h e r e.
Some of the hillside terracing
he had seen in the Jerusalem
Corridor and in Galilee were en-
gineering feats of the first mag-
nitude, he said.

Some Fancy Stepping
For Federation Institute

BOSTON, (JTA)—The New
Year's - Eve murder of Rabbi Ja-
cob I. Zuber in a park in Rox,
bury, an area of considerable
racial tension, this week had
spurred demands for energetic
action to curb racist manifesta-
tions in the district and for a
longterm program to correct a
dangerous situation.
Although the police, following
first investigations of the mur-
der, had said that it was not a
racial incident, a ,aitizen's group
in Roxbury, called on the May-
or's Committee on Civil Im-
provement, the body concerned
with race relations here,' to take
action. A joint meeting of the
mayor's committee with the
Roxbury group decided on im-

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Reports
of the grave financial difficulties
facing Israel have been exag-
gerated, although the normal
government budget shows a de-
ficit of 12,500,000 pounds at the
end of the third quarter of the
fiscal year, Levi Eshkol, Finance
Minister, told a press conference
here.
Eshkol cited the rise in the
price of bread since new fiscal
policies were put into effect, but
pointed out that the price of
bread in Israel is lower than in
most European countries.
The same can be said of fuel
