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.

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.
