Court Upholds
Contempt Citation
In Hildy Case
BOSTON, Mass., (JTA) — Su-
preme Court Justice Edward J.
Counihan, Jr., has dismissed a
petition to set aside probate court
, contempt citations against Mr.
and Mrs. Melvin B. Ellis, the
Jewish couple who .are battling
for the custody of Hildy McCoy.
In the ruling, he also refused to
; nullify a habeas corpus writ or-
: dering the Ellises to produce the
child in Norfolk County Probate
Court.
The Ellises and Hildy, whose
natural mother • is a 'Catholic,
have been missing from their
Brookline, Mass. home ever since
they were ordered to give up the
; child, whom they have cared for
since she was ten years old.
, The Ellises' attempt to adopt
Hildy has been stymied by a
Massachusetts law stating that
foster parents must be of the
same religion as the child "when
practicable."
Hildy's natural mother, who
has been married since she first
gave Hildy. up, has announced
that she will turn the child over
to a Catholic institution should
she regain custody.
In the ruling, Judge Counihan
said that the child was delivered
to the Jewish couple "surrepti-
tiously" and that the "mother
was later induced to give her
consent."

U. S. Aid
Some 75 projects in Israel have received technical assistance
in the form of experts from the United States Government . .
They range from mechanics to mineral experts and from civil
service experts to fisheries technicians . . Israel trucks and buses
were out of commission about a third of 'the time for lack of good
mechanics .. .Now they are functioning well as a result of central
repair and maintenance shops with personnel trained by United
States experts . . . When a new plant is built in Israel, the contract
ordinarily calls for an American superintendent and foreman to
put it into operation, run it the first _year and train the personnel
. . . The U. S. Government has spent, up to today, about $6,300,000
on technical aid to Israel . . . Since the establishment of the U. S.
Operations Missions in Israel many-. American experts have been
sent to the Jewish State to advise - Israel in various fields of de-
velopment and to train Israelis ... At present there are 81 Ameri-
cans and 113 Israelis who comprise the team which implements
technical assistance projects . . . The program also provides an
opportunity for Israelis to go to the United States for training .. .
Since thp inception of this program, some,250 Israelis have spent
periods ranging from three to 12 months in the United States . . .
Provision is being made currently for 70 to 80 individuals a year
. . . Participants are selected on the basis of their ability to utilize
their enriched experience for the benefit of Israel . . . The U. S.
Operations' Mission technicians are particularly active now in help-
ing Israel unearth the secrets of the Negev . . . They share in the
development of potash, phosphate and copper, and are probing
together with Israeli geologists for other minerals and render con-
sulting services in the industrial and agricultural development of
Israel as well "as in plans to develop Israel's exports.

Israel Reciprocity
The American,. Government is acknowledging that the technical
aid it is giving Israel is becoming a two-way street . . . In the
process' of interchange of American and Israeli experts under the
U. S. technical aid program for Israel, Israelis are making valuable
contributions in America . . . A government report cites several
instances where Israelis who were sent to the U. S. to study Ameri-
can methods have performed useful services for the U. S. . . . In
one instance an Israeli studying irrigation problems, on the basis
raining
of experience in his nature country, helped his American "b
agency, the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation in Utah, to solve a thorny
problein . . . At the Wanship Dam, American engineers explained
that they were having a difficult time mortaring a cut-off trench
with a cement-water mixture, such as is ordinarily used in the
U. S. . . . The Israeli trainee, remembering his experience in Israel,
suggested that they try a clay-cement-water. mixture . . . Experi-
ments with that clay mixture were successful, and the American
engineer in charge of construction said he wished the trainee had
been sent to the project earlier . . . "It would have saved the
Bureau money and trouble," he declared . . . In another instance
the town clerk of Tel Aviv, visiting some 15 cities in the U. S. to
study local government, found himself swapping information and
knOw-how with the people he was interviewing . . . The U. S. Gov-
ernment report points out that "these examples are typical" and
that 'the interchange of technicians and experts helps build under-
standing and goodwill for Israel in this country.
