the Union of Italian Jewish
Communities to help in the

S'DOM, (HP)—Speeded with new machines, like the one
above, purchased with the aid of over $1,000,000 in appropriations
from State of Israel Bond investments, production at the Dead
Sea Potash Works went into high gear recently as plans were
pushed for meeting a production goal of 150,000 dollar-earning
tons of potash during 1954. Operations were resumed here last
spring with the completion of the Israel bond-aided road to S'doni,
which opened a safe passageway over which the potash could be
transported to Haifa. Practically all of the 150,000 tons scheduled
for production this year is earmarked for export, and will earn
Israel an estimated $4,000,000 in hard currency.

power meeting to discuss the
tripartite declaration of 1950 in
which the frontiers of the pres-
ent Middle East states were
guaranteed against aggression.
He said that the French opposi-
tion to an "anschluss" had been
made clear to both the United
States and British governments.
