nature at its most beautiful. The

To Waive Visa Fees;
Visas Still Needed
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The Is-
rael Consulate General in New
York announced that agreement
had been reached -between the
United States and the Israel
government to waive visa fees
for their respective nationals, as
of March 15. This arrange-
ment, • it is hoped, will serve to
facilitate visits to Israel on the
part of United States citizens.
It will still be necessary for
United States nationals to secure
tourist visas for Israel, but as
from March 15 such visas will be
issued gratis, the statement
pointed out. It drew attention
to the fact that the volume of
American tourist traffic to Israel
has been growing steadily year
by year and has been encouraged
by the growth of tourist facili-
ties in Israel, particularly mod-
ern, hotel accommodations and
transportation and recent facili-
ties.
