Germany Seeks to Repay
4
NEW YORK, (JTA) --The West
German government has pro-
posed to the Allies that part of
the 1,500,000,000 • marks which
are to be applied to restitution
for assets seized from Jews by
the Nazi regime, should be used
to recompense Germans who ac-
quired Jewish property in good
faith," the New York Times re-
ports from Berlin. . •
About 97,000 such properties
have been taken from German
"Aryanizers" in Berlin, the re-
port says.
"West Germany has contended
that the Jewish claims so far do
not add up to 1,500,000.000 marks.
Accordingly, the government
wants to include in that amount
compensation to Germans who
were owners of identifiable
property already returned by the
Allies to former Jewish owners,"
the Times report explains.
- Jewish - organizations have
complained that the listing of
claims was closed a long time
ago and that it was impossible

umented claims to be presented,
the reports points out.
It adds that repayment to Jews
comes under the Paris Agree-
ments on German sovereignty
after the agreements are rati-
fied. Jews living in Berlin suf-
fered the largest loss and resti-
tution to them makes up a great
part of the entire problem, the
'Times correspondent emphasizes.
The Association Against De-
privation of Rights, which is the
name of the organization of for-
mer owners of restored Jewish
property, asked that those who
had "loyally" acquired Jewish
property be compensated for
losses suffered through the re-
turn of Jewish property. The at-
torney for the organization, Al-
fred Babendreyer, stated that
representatives of the organiza-
tion had been told by Allied•

Aryanizers' Who Lost Restitution Properties
T.
.41' OF SCIIOLNICK'S
UP TO
LIMITED GROUPS -
Proposals for harnessing the
Jordan Valley waters may pro-
vide the opening wedge for an
eventual rapprochement be-
tween Israel and the neighbor-
ing Arab states, according to an
article by Dana Adams Schmidt
in the current issue of Middle
Eastern Affairs, monthly publi-
cation of the Council for Middle
Eastern Affairs in New York. .
Mr. Schmidt, who was New
York Times correspondent in Is-
rael and the Middle East, be-
lieves that "the prospects of in-
duCing Israel and the Arab
states to agree on a scheme for
the unified development of the
Jordan River and its tributaries
are now more favorable than
ever before." This, apparently,
is behind President EiseRhow-
er's renewed efforts to find a
Jordan Valley solution.
Tracing the history of the
Jordan Valley, from the time
when man first appeared there
about 100,000 years ago, Mr.
Schmidt discusses the numerous
plans worked out by experts
during the past 20 years to uti-
lize the plentiful waters of the
Jordan. River system to irrigate
parched lands and to generate
electric powers. One of t h e
plans, which M. G. Ionides, di-
rector of development of the
Transjordan government, made
at the request of the British
Royal Commission in 1937,
showed that 75,000 acres could
be irrigated, though this was
limited to the eastern bank of
the river.
