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 at the time for all properly doe- __ Paid political advertisement. 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.

Friday, February 18, 1955 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.
