JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israeli and
American experts convened here
in Prime Minister Levi Eshkol's
office Monday to open a lengthy
series of conferences designed to
implement a joint U.S.-Israel
effort for increasing researches to-
ward the use of nuclear energy for
desalination of sea water. The in-
'tial meeting was attended by Esh-
1 and Walworth Barbour, United
- --iates Ambassador to Israel.
Addressing the meeting, Eshkol
reviewed Israel's needs for water,
stressing the fact that, already,
Israel is utilizing 85 percent of the
country's water resources. Under-
scoring American-Israel friendship,
the Premier voiced the hope that
the joint committee will "find a
harmonious way to proceed speed-
ily to its goal." Israel, he declared,
has "sufficient manpower to con-
tribute" to the joint project.
Eshkol praised President John-
son, not only for entering the
agreement for the formation of the
current joint committee, but also
for his initiative in convening, this
year, the International Conference
on Desalination. That conference,
said Eshkol, "will benefit all of
mankind." He recalled that when
he conferred with President John-
son in Washington last month, it
was agreed that experience to be
gained from the U.S.-Israel project
wil lbe placed at the disposal of all
countries throughout the world.
The joint committee is expected
to continue the present stage of
its discussions until about the mid-
dle of next month. Among the
items on the agenda are determina-
tion of the type of nuclear reactor
to be employed in the desalination
research, and on the choice of a
site in Israel for that reactor.
The U.S.-Israel teams of ex-
perts discussing the joint efforts
by the two governments for the
use of nuclear energy for de-
salination of sea water have be-
fore them tentative plans for the
construction of two atomic re-
actors in Israel, a small one to
be operative by 1970 and a much
bigger one to be ready for use
by 1975, it was indicated here
Tuesday.
The plant envisaged as an inter-
mediate step by 1970 will probably
have a reactor of 800 - thermal
megawatt capacity, generating 200
megawatts of electric power and
capable of distilling between 100,-
000,000 and 200,000,000 gallons of
fresh water a day.
The first reactor would be a step
on the way to a second to be ready
five years later. The second re-
actor would generate 1,000 to 1,500
Liturgical Music Parley
Closes in Tel Aviv; to Be
ennial Event in Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Interna-
tional Conference on Jewish Litur-
gical Music will become a biennial
event, and the next one will be
held in the summer of 1966 in
Jerusalem, it was announced at the
close of the first conference here.
The first meeting was held under
the auspices of the Cantors As-
sembly of America and the AIMA
Music Alliance. Some 200 cantors,
musicians, composers and music-
ologists from the United States,
Europe and Israel participated.
One of the highlights was the per-
formance of Psalm 137 by all the
cantors present at the president's
home in Jerusalem. The psalm was
set to music by Isaachar Miron, an
Israeli.
Saul Meizel of Cleveland, presi-
dent of the Cantors Assembly, and
Samuel Rosenbaum of Rochester,
N.Y., executive vice chairman, said
before their departure that their
maximum expectations from the
conference had been realized. They
added that they were sure an en-
during bond had been created be-
tween all those concerned with
Jewish liturgical music.

Weizmann Institute
Offers Scientific Aid
to Desalination Project
NEW YORK (JTA) — An offer
to place scientific knowledge and
facilities of the Weizmann Institute
of Science, in Israel, at the dis-
posal of the U.S.-Israel desalina-
tion project, was made by Meyer
W. Weisgal, chief executive of the
Institute, here for a brief visit.
Weisgal pointed out that Ameri-
can cooperation with Israel for de-
salting sea water was announced
publicly for the first time by Presi-
dent Johnson last February 6 at
the annual Weizmann Dinner in
New York. In the course of his ad-
dress on that occasion, the Presi-
dent declared: "The Weizmann In-
stitute is an international scientific
institution in the fullest sense of
the word. It has helped make Is-
rael one of the foremost scientific
resources of the world."
Weisgal said that "if the desalin-
ation project calls for basic re-
search, the field in which the Weiz-
mann Institute specializes, we are
prepared to supply scientific know-
ledge, manpower, laboratories and
whatever may be required of us."
