TEL AVIV----The celebration
of Purim festivities in Tel Aviv
Monday night was marred by
two incidents which caused in-
jury to hundreds of celebrants,
including many children.
In the first accident, some-
one released a huge flare bomb
which caused burns to many.
Others were hurt when the
crowd panicked. Scores of per-
sons standing near the scene
of the flare bomb release sud-
denly realized that their clothes
were afire.
Chaos followed before police
moved in with vans and am-
bulances to take the burned
and injured victims to hos-
pitals.
First aid stations were still
struggling with the flare bomb
victims when ambulances began
to bring in scores of children
suffering broken bones in the
second incident.

They were the victims of an
unexpected accident developing
from a public invitation by an
announcer for celebrants to try
to catch a balloon floating from
a tower. A prize of a free trip
to Cyprus was announced for
the first person to seize the
balloon.

finished speaking when hun-
dreds of youngsters started

swarming up the thin pipes
of the tower. Under the pres-
sure of their weight, the
tower suddenly collapsed,
hurling the youngsters to the
ground in a tangled maze of
wreckage.

Sixteen of the victims of the
incidents remained in the hos-
pital Tuesday and scores were
treated and sent home while

Israel Aids Brazil
in Developing Water
Resources, Farming

RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) —
Brazil signed an agreement pro-
viding Israeli technical assistance
for the development of Brazilian
water resources and cooperative
farming communities in this coun-
try.
Under the pact, Israel will send
here a staff of technicians to sur-
vey underground water resources
and provide training to Brazilians
in methods of irrigation. Another
group of Israelis will help or-
ganize a farming colony which
will be conducted under an
adapted- plan, similar to the one
in Israel where families in farm
cooperatives own their land in-
dividually but pool marketing,
production plans and the use of
heavy equipment.
It is expected that the United
States will soon allocate
$33,000.000 from funds of the
Alliance for Progress program
to facilitate implementation of
the Brazil-Israel project which
will be conducted by the Brazil-
ian Federal Northeast Develop-
ment Agency. The a gr eement be-
tween Brazil and Israel is an
outgrowth of plans initiated here
last fall by Isaak Levy, director-
general of Israel's Ministry of
Agriculture.

Costly El Al
Crew Strike Is
Ended in Israel

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Air crews
of the El Al Israel International
Airlines returned to work Sun-
day. ending a ten-day strike
over the issue of maximum fly-
ing time for the pilots and other
airborne personnel.
It took 24 to 48 hours before
schedules returned to normal
and all chartered aircraft were
returned to the parent corn-
panies.
The agreement between the
company and the air crews pro-
vides that, under no conditions,
will air crews work more than
10 hours on direct flights with
15 hours maximum time of
duty. The air crews had asked
for an eight-hour ceiling on fly-
ing time. The company re-
ported that the strike had cost
El Al 80,000 pounds ($26,400)
per day.
