Ghetto Camp
Of UN-Neo- otiated Israeli Peace Talks Terezin
BONN, (JTA) — The official

LONDON (JTA)—Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nassar,
speaking at Facum on the situation on the Gaza strip border,
stressed the fact that although talks are now going on between
Israel and Egyptian representatives in the Gaza area, they are not
high-level talks.
He emphasized that Egypt had rejected all proposals for high
level talks with Israel. He also asserted that Egypt's army is
stronger than Israel's. "No one," he said, "will say that Israel forced
Egypt to accept negotiations. Talks have begun near Gaza under the
auspices of the United Nations truce chief, but I feel from the
preliminaries, that there are those who help and encourage Israel."

Eric Johnston Gets Instructions on
Israel-Arab Water. Development Plan

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Eric
Johnston, President Eisenhower's
special envoy to the Middle East,
received last-minute instructions
on the Israel-Arab water de-
velopment plan from- Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles.

Mr. Johnston is scheduled to
leave for the Middle East On
July 28. He will visit all. the
Arab states and Israel. He re-
fused to elaborate on the de-
tails of his trip. This is his fifth
visit to the Middle East in the
capacity • of special negotiator
between the Israelis and the
Arabs on the American plan to
develop the waters of the Jor-

Israel to Open
$33 Million Yarkon
Irrigation Project

With the promise of 50,000
acres reclaimed for agriculture,
Israel will officially open . the
Yarkon River irrigation project
next week in special ceremonies
near Nirim, southern terminus
of the pipeline in the Negev.
Begun in 1952, the completed
pipeline represents the first leg
of a twin project and will bring
the waters of the Yarkon River
to the western part of the
desert-like Negev region. The
second pipeline, now half-com-
pleted, will carry the Yarkon
water to the eastern Negev,
near Beersheba. - .
Implementing Israel's objec-
tive of fuller utilization of the
country's available water re-
sources, the new pipeline will
divert the water of the Yarkon
River, which empties into the
Mediterranean, north of Tel
Aviv. Approximately 66 miles
long, the pipeline is constructed
of pre-stressed concrete" sections
66 inches in diameter, and will
produce 1.3 million gallons of
water per hour.
The cost of the project thus
far is more than $30,000,000, a
good part of which was derived
from the proceeds of State of
Israel Bonds.
The opening of the newly-irri-
gated area of more than 50,000
acres will yield crops estimated
at $25,000,000 a year. With the
completion of the second pipe-
line by 1958, both the irrigated
acreage and the estimated crop
yield will be doubled.
The Yarkon - Negev project
will serve to open for settlement
areas of the country until now
considered barren and desolate.
According to present blueprints,
30 new villages will be settled
along the pipeline routes during
the next two or three years.

dan River for the benefit of the
countries involved.
An official of the Inter-
national Cooperation Adminis-
tration repeated the position of
the Eisenhower Administration
that the Johnston Plan for Jor-
dan River water utilization is a
key to settlement of the Arab-
Israel dispute, it was revealed
when his testimony on the Mu-
tual Security appropriation bill
was released.
Cedric H. Seager, Regional
Director for Near East and
African Operations, testified that
during the past year, the United
States has maintained a sus-
tained drive "to obtain an
understanding for the division
of the waters of the Jordan by
the countries concerned on an
agreed basis for their storage,
their • control along economic
lines, and for arrangements to
insure their equitable distribu-
tion."
Mr. Seager asserted that the
conclusion of an agreement on
the Jordan waters "will offer
considerable prospect for the
rehabilitation of refugee pop-
ulations, and it would open up
new - areas for settlement in
Jordan." In his testimony before
the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, Mr. Seager observed
that the animosity between the
Arab states and Israel has not
yet abated. He explained that
U. S. policy has been "to keep
secret" the aid allocated to in-
dividual countries; "thus pro-
viding the United States Gov-
ernment the maximum amount
of flexibility in the actual im-
plementation of the program."
The ICA official testified that
the economic situation in Israel
"is much improved." He ob-
served that German reparations
are providing funds for part of
Israel's economic development
program, but that "United Tunisian Jews Establish
States aid is still required" to New Settlement in Israel
maintain this development effort.

Scandinavian Youth Oppose
Assimilation, Intermarriage

Turkish Publisher Dies

ISTANBUL (JTA) — Abraham
Benaroya, editor and publisher
of the French-language news-
paper, "L'Etoile du Levant," and
at one time a staff member of
various other French language
dailies in Istanbul ; died here at
the age of 66.
Mr. Benaroya was well known
in Turkey for his invention -in
1919 of a system of shorthand in
Turkish which is now in use by
all Turkish stenographers. He
taught the system in public col-
leges and to stenographers em-
ployed by the Turkish Parlia-
ment.

government weekly "Das Parla-
ment" has distributed, as a spe-
cial. 14-page supplement, an ab-
sorbing study by Dr. H. G.
Adler, of London, on the role
of the Terezin ghetto-camp in
the Nazis' "Final Solution of
the Jewish Question."
Dr. Adler, an inmate of Tore-
zin.for three years- and of other
concentration camps as well,
a 45-year-old native of Prague.
The present study is based on
his monumental and documented
work dealing with the history,
sociology and psychology of the
Terezin ghetto-camp, which a
German publisher is bringing
out this fall, with financial sup- -
port from the "Federal Central
Bureau for Domestic Service,"
a Bonn Government agency con-
cerned with . popularizing the
democratic idea among the Ger-
man people.
- The Bureau, which sponsors
"Das Parlament," has already
published a special issue on
Israel and, also in supplement
form, a meritorious study on the
number of Jewish victims of
Nazism.
Terezin was a small Bohemian
fortress town 40 miles both from
Prague and from Dresden, with
an original population of some
6,000 soldiers and civilians, be-
fore the Nazis turned it into a
ghetto-camp in early 1942. Dur-
ing the next three years 141,000
Jews were imprisoned there;
34,000 died in the camp and
19,000 survived. Of the 88,000
who were reported from Tere-
zin to other camps such as Au-
schwitz, no more than 3,500
escaped the gas chambers.
At the time of the liberation
in May 1945, administration of
the Terezin ghetto-camp was in
the hands of an inmate council
under the chairmanship of
Rabbi Leo Baeck, dean of the
Liberal rabbinate. Because of
rampant typhus, the survivors
had to be quarantined for sev-
eral weeks. Only then was it
possible to FlissoJve the one
concentration camp which, Dr.
Adler concludes, had been de-
liberately designed by the Nazi.

Israel Railway Building
Interests Japanese Firms

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Japanese
firms are interested in the con-
struction,of a railway from Sdom,
on the Dead Sea, to the Israel
port of Eilat, on the Gulf of
Akaba, Dr. Dov Joseph, Minister
for Development, announced. He
said that the railway would help
facilitate the export of potash
from the Dead Sea works to the
Far East.
New installations at the new
potash plant at Sdom have gone
into operation, using the new
caranlite from the evaporating
pans, whose total area has been
increased" from eight to 20 square
kilometers.
Dr. Joseph said that there was
a possibility that bromium pro-
duction would be started, using
bitumin layers north of Sdom.
He also said that construction
was beginning on the Negev
town of Dimona, which is in-
tended mainly to house potash
plant workers.
