ISt Century Arrives Early for Greek Firms Start Oil Willing Operations in
Dead Sea Area
NEW YORK,
Immigrants with Assist from HIAS
II
Greek-born Ernst Marbach, 52, who after 15 years of wander-
ing was told that he and his family could not receive U.S. immi-
gration visas until sometime in the 21st Century (Greek quotas are
oversubscribed until then), is shown on his arrival at the shelter
of !HAS, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. With him are his Aus-
trian-born wife, Maria, and their two children, Felicity, 9, and
Henry, 6. HIAS officials were able to convince U.S. authorities
that the family should be admitted under Mrs. Marbach's Austrian
quota rights. Marbach fled to the Orient when the Nazis enterel
Vienna, and married his wife in Shanghai where both children
were born. Then, in 1948, the Marbachs fled from Shanghai when
Chinese Red troops approached the city. The case of allowing
the Marbachs to enter the U.S. was taken 'up by HIAS, which has
fought it for five years, until final approval was won.

ses, Inc., both registered in Pan-
ama; the Lapidoth-Israel Petrol-
eum Company Ltd., the Jordan
Exploration Co., Ltd., and Israel
Oil Prospectors, Ltd., all register-
ed in Israel.
The latter three companies
hold joint licenses in the Dead
Sea area, and plan to start drill-
ing immediately. L a p i d o t h,
which will conduct operations
for all three, has made a con-
tract with Kerr-McGee . Oil In-
dustries, Inc., of Oklahoma City,
to be Lapidoth's exclusive oil-
drilling cotractor. A field camp
is being set up near Sdom, at the
southern end of the Dead Sea.
The Husky Oil Company is
now carrying out geological and
geophysical exploration in the
coastal region of Israel, and has
obtained the -services of the
Weizmann Institute of Science
at Rehovoth for gravity work in
that area. -
The Weizmann Institute is
also making geological surveys
in the Negev in behalf of The
'Continental Oil Company. A
team of the Institute's experts,
headed by Prof. C. L. Pekeris,
has been active since July 1 and
is expected to complete its work
by the end of next month.
The two Panamanian compan-
ies, founded by independent oil

ley of New York, are now en-
gaged in field work to determine
the best drilling locations in
areas for which they hold licen-
ses.

With vows of sacrifice and fulfillment,
With self-effacement for the goal to be attained.

From one end of the earth unto the other.

An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

For the fullness of Peace and Justice

For it is an important part of
family life. And, in most cases it's
an equally important item in the
family budget.
All this suggests why it is so com-
forting to know that your car is the
end product of that careful cycle
of research, testing, retesting and
precision production which we call
General Motors engineering.
So, in selecting an automobile, the
buyer must have the assurance that
he is getting the latest develop-
ments in alert and eager power, in
driving ease, in riding comfort, in
safety and in style.
For—whether it's a latest example
of automatic transmissions, an
advancement such as GM Power
Steering — or an engine bearing
built to last longer—GM engineer-
ing makes the key to your. General
Motors car the key to greater value.
He must further enjoy the knowl-
edge that those qualities have been
built into his car to last—to guar-
antee high market value when he
trades it in on a new model.
Yes—in choosing a General Motors
car—you know that you are choos-
ing the technically finest motorcar
engineering brains can build or
your money can buy.
