The Lark is now being as- sembled by the Kaiser-Frazer plant at Haifa in place of the French Renault Dauphine, since the French firm withdrew its Israeli franchise in deference to the Arab League's anti- Israel economic boycott. Of the total price for the Lark to purchasers in this coun- try, the seller will receive only 6,000 pounds ($3,360), the re- mainder of $2,744 going to the government in the form of ex- cise taxes. * FIREWORKS * LARGEST FLAG Saturday, July 2—a gigantic aerial display, cascading 1000 feet or more out of the night skies over Detroit and Windsor.
