Print Book on Nazi Offer to
Trade U.S. Trucks for Jews

COLOGNE (JTA)—A de-
tailed account of the Nazi offer
in 1944 to "trade" 1,000,000
Hungarian Jews for 10,000
American heavy trucks, as well
as developments which fol-
lowed this offer, is presented
in a book published here en-
titled "The Case of Joel

!pest with similar proposals in
1944.
Brand negotiated with such
notorious SS chieftains as Die-
. ter von Wisliceny, Kurt Becher
and Adolf Eichmann, the top
specialist for "liquidating" the
Jews of Europe.
He contacted the Jewish
Agency representatives in In-
stanbul and, with their encour-
agement, flew to Turkey on a
Nazi courier plane for a two-
week mission.
While en route to Jerusalem
to confer with Moshe (Shertok)
Sharett, then a member of the
Jewish Agency executive and
later Premier of Israel, Brand
was arrested by the British and
held in custody at Cairo for
several months.

Report Israel Tourism
Normal; Rise Expected

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Tour-
ism in Israel climbed back to
normal levels in May and is ex-
pected to increase considerably
this summer, officials indicated
this week.
They stated it was the first
time this year that tourist fig-
ures matched those of 1956.
The State Department ban
imposed on visits to the Middle
East by American citizens and
the general unrest in the area
in early 1957 were blamed for
the decline of tourism. This ban
was recently lifted.
The government said that
4,000 tourists had arrived in
May and 4,300 in April, They
expect from 5,000 to 6,000 a
month will come to Israel in
July and in each month follow-
ing the current season. They
estimate foreign currency in-
come from each tourist at about
$15.

The book, which is equipped
with a documentary annex, was
written by Austrian physicist
