Friday, July 13, 1956—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-9 Germans Willing to Pay Former Slave Laborers BONN (JTA) — The I. G. Farben chemical trust at a meeting of its board of direc- tors decided to offer $7,000,000 in settlement of all claims for former slave laborers—most of them Jews—employed by the company at the Monowitz syn- thetic rubber plant. The offer, which is expected to be made to the Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Ger- many, results from the success- ful suit of Norbert Wollheim, one-time slave laborer, postwar leader of German Jewry and currently a resident of New York. Mr. Wollheim sued for back wages and compensation for cruelties suffered at the Mono- witz butane plant where he and thousands of other Jewish and non-Jewish inmates of the Auschwitz concentration - camp were forced to work. Most of the slave laborers were either worked to death or gassed at the camp when they collapsed of overwork. I. G. Farben fought the suit on the grounds that it was not responsible for the working con- ditions or treatment of the workers who were supplied by the Nazi authorities and whose wages were turned over to those authorities. After its appeal to a higher court, the case was suspended and the court sug- gested that the company seek to reach a settlement with slave laborer claimants or their heirs. Thus far only 2,400 claims Life in Israel Rugged Individuals and the Cold War Art School Fetes 50th Anniversary BEERSHEBA (JTA)—Two ice factories in this city, the gate- way to the Negev, are vigor- ously prosecuting a cold war of their own, it was reported in the Jeruzalern Post. One of the factories, Shalgon, is privately owned, and the other is operated by Hamashbir Hamerkazi, a cooperative. Shalgon, which produces twice as much ice as its rival, is ac- cordingly allotted a distributive area of 6'6 per cent of the town. But the ice vendors of the rival firm have been trying to take over in Shalgon-assigned areas. In retaliation, the red-hot ice salesmen of the Shalgon firm have been moving into their rival's territory. • JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts opened a celebration of 50 years of its existence with a special axhibition.

WASHINGTON— Isra- el's "dire need" for arms was restated Tuesday by Ambassa- dor Abba Eban to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during their first meeting since Mr. Eban's return from Jerusalem. Eban also discussed with Dul- les Israel's application some time ago for a $75,000,000 loan from the Export-Import Bank for water development projects. In the course of the confer- ence, the Israel Ambassador told the Secretary of State of increased Arab hostility against the Jewish state. He described the Jordanian border assaults and the intensified Arab block- ade. He cited the blocking of Egypt's seizure of a Greek ves- sel which carried a cargo of cement for Israel and indicated that he communicated with the President of the UN Security Council on the Suez blockade issue. Secretary Dulles gave his own views to Mr. Eban to -be con- veyed to the Israel government. Ansche Bereznitz, Cong. Beth Aaron, Cong. Exports by Israel to Britain Show Drop /.0.EAREc t .

Sieff, chairman of the Anglo- Israel Chamber of Commerce, reported to the fifth annual meeting of the organization. He expressed hope that the overall increase in trade be- tween the two countries regis- tered last year would continue. Sieff, who was re-elected chairman of the association, scored the British government's failure to take firm action against Arab diplomatic mis- sions which questioned British firms which dealt with Arab states whether their directors, owners or employees were Jew- ish. He held up as an example the Dutch government's opposition to the "sinister" Arab boycott campaign . Beth Aaron V'Israel, Cong. Beth Abraham, Cong. Beth El, Cong. Beth Itzchock, Cong.
