Inspect Israeli
Reactor at Dimona
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to
The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — Israeli quarters
Tuesday confirmed reports that
engineers of the United States
Atomic Energy Commission had
inspected Israel's atomic reactor
at Dimona. But the Israelis added
that the government has not prim-
ised to permit regular inspections
of that faculty and will, in the fu-
ture, consider any such request on
its merits.
(The reports from Washington in
the American Press stated that
the American AEC engineers had
found that Israel is using the reac-
tor for peaceful purposes only.)
The American scientists who
visited Dimona had been accom-
panied by Robert Komer, a White
House aide, it was revealed Mon-
day. Komer was here a week be-
fore W. Averell Harriman, Presi-
dent Johnson's ambassador-at-
large, had come here to discuss
the German question, among other
issues. The White House aide re-
turned to the United States with
Harriman.

000 pounds of matzo meal, and
1,800 bottles of Passover wine.

pounds of Passover supplies.
In addition to providing Pass-
over supplies to needy Jewish
communities of Europe, JDC has
made special grants to enable
needy Jews of Algeria, Iran, Mor-
occo and Tunisia to purchase
matzo and other Passover supplies
locally.

Israel's New Ashdod Port Approches
Completion Aided by Bond Funds
'That Day With God'
Contains 63 Sermons
in Kennedy's Memory
Nov. 24, 1963, two days after
President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated, more Americans at-
tended religious services than on
any other day in the nation's his-
tory. Barely minutes after the
terrible news was flashed over the
country, men began to pray .
to turn to God and ask, why? How
could this happen?
The best of the sermons have
now been collected into a book
called "That Day With God," which
McGraw-Hill has just published.
The editor is William Michael
Fine, the publisher of Harper's
Bazaar magazine. The foreword
was written by Richard Cardinal
Cushing, Roman Catholic Arch-
bishop of Boston and a close
personal friend of the Kennedy
family. There are 63 selections in
the book, sermons and non-ser-
monic expressions of grief.

Israel's new deepwater port of Ashdod, on the Mediterranean
south of Tel Aviv, is nearing completion after four years of work
financed with the aid of Israel Bonds. Photo shows one of the huge
concrete tetrapods which from the base of the breakwater being
lowered into the water by a giant crane. The port, which will be the
principal outlet for the products of the Negev, is expected to have an
annual capacity of 600,000 tons when it opens, with an ultimate pro-
jected capacity of 2,500,000 tons. It is expected to start operations in
the latter part of the year, in time to handle much of Israel's citrus
exports in the fall.
Regardless of the weather outside our beautiful
indoor pool is always kept at a comfortable 82.
You'll also enjoy the courteous service from our
gaff of 82 people, and we guarantee you'll bowl
over 82 in our new bowling lanes.

Huron Motor Inn including just plain loafing,
