Site of First Passover Observance Being Watched in Modern Revival

By BEN JOSEPH

(Copyright, 1956, JTA,' Inc.)

. about the growth of Tel Aviv
and H a i f a. More ,irecently,
Americans returning from Israel
have been saying "Watch Beer-
, Sheba." Now the focus is be-
ginning to shift to the , extreme
end of the Negev, to the •Red
Sea port of Elath.

the Israelites crossed over the

Elath that first gladdened their

elopment of its mining activity,
and that activity in turn, in
part, hinges on the development
of roads and transportation. If
