WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
Governor of the Bank of Israel,
David Horowitz, said he was
"hopeful" of the success of his
mission here—acquisition of a
$30,000,000 loan from the World
Bank for construction of a na-
tional road network in Israel.
Horowitz, meeting with World
Bank and International Monetary
Fund officials—including the di-
rectors of both agencies, Eugene
Black and Per Jacobsen — said
that if the loan application is
approved it could come through
as early as some time during
1962.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Adolf
Eichrnann, the former Gestapo
colonel awaiting disposition of
his Supreme Court appeal from
the death sentence meted out to
him last month by the District
Court of Jerusalem, is now wear-
ing a gray prisoner's uniform,
instead of the red costume us-
ually worn by convicts' awaiting
death.
Prison Commissioner Arye Nir
ordered the change when he de-
cided that Eichmann might suf-
fer a nervous breakdown, "as a
result of his low spirits," it was
stated. Friday, Eichmann was
visited in his secret prison by
the chief of his defense counsel,
Dr. Robert Servatius of Cologne,
who discussed with the convicted
man some details connected with
the preparation of the appeal to
the high tribunal.
Eichmann's costume was
changed from red to gray before
the prison authorities - received
a request to this effect from Is-
raelis who had been members
of a former underground move-
