. JERUSALEM, (JTA) — A
Stanford University professor is
directing the drafting of Is-
rael's first overall five-year de-
velopment plan, which, it is
hoped, will raise Israel's gross
national product by eight to ten
percent annually.
The goal is to boost exports to
compensate for the gradual de-
crease of capital imports which ;
by the end of the five-year per-
iod, may be $150,000,000 small-
er than at present.
Prof. Hollis B. Chenery has
been invited, through the Uni-
ted Nations Technical Assis-
tance Program, by the Bank of
Israel, the central state bank,
to supervise the preparation of
the plan which, it is hoped,
would- tide Israel . through the
1960-1965 period, expected to
be the toughest economically in
th, history of the 11-year-old
nation.
The gap of Israel's foreign
trade now is about $350,000,000
a year. This deficit is made up
by United States Government
and private aid, sale of- Israel
bonds, West German repara-
tions payments and individual
restitution payments' from Ger-
many to Israel citizens, and pri-
vate investments from abroad.

World Bank to Study
Israel's Loan Request
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
technical delegation of the
World Bank is now being form-
ed and will pro-ceed to Jerusa-
lem within the next few weeks
to study Israel's request for a
loan, it was learned here this
week.
Meanwhile, sources from the
Bank revealed that Egyptian
Finance Minister Kaissouna left
Washington without a decision
having been reached on the loan
sought by the United Arab Re-
public to improve the Suez
Canal.
The Bank, t h es e sources
stressed, was well aware of the
Canal transit issue aired over
the past two weeks in the Unit-
ed Nations. Several important
U.S. Congressmen and Senators
have objected to the Egyptian
loan, as long as the Suez is
blockaded against Israel.
It now appears as if the loan
has been delayed, but that it
ultimately will be approved. A
possibility exists that the loan
will be issued not directly to
the UAR but to the Suez Canal
Authority.
This move would place great-
er emphasis on the economic
character of the loan and side-
step the political issue.
