'PLO and New Allies' Exposed in AJ Committee Report
[1
f
,
While international rivalries are
aiding the militantly anti-Israel
Palestine Liberation Organization,
inter-Arab rivalries are limiting
its immediate potential for touch-
ing off a Middle Eastern war,
according to an American Jewish
Committee background analysis.
The report, titled "The Palestine
Liberation Organization and Its
New Allies," issued by the com-
mittee's foreign affairs depart-
ment, holds that continued com-
petition between the Soviet Union
and Communist China is working
to the advantage of the PLO,
which is recruiting a "Palestine
Liberation Army" from among the
Arab refugees.

Seminary Society
NEW YORK—Gen. David Sam-
off, chairman of the board of the
Radio Corporation of America, has
accepted the
chairmanship o f
the newly-formed
Society of Fe f-
lows of the Jew-
i s h Theological
Seminary of
America.
Dr. Louis Fin-
kelstein, S e m
n a r y chancellor,
Sarnoff explained t.h a t
the new society will consist of men
who have distinguished themselves
in the arts, the sciences, the hu-
manities, technology, commerce, or
philanthropy. Fellows will be
chosen by the faculty of the Sem-
inary from time to time, and will
be approved by the board of direc-
tors. Its purpose will be to . bring,
together. some of the foremost crea-
tive minds—men of various creeds,
countries and backgrounds—for the
discussion of the basic issues under-
lying the complex problems of our
time.
On May 8, Earl Warren, Chief
Justice of the United States, was
installed as the first member of
the Society of Fellows. Justice War-
ren will serve as honorary chair-
man of the_ group.
In an address at the <time of his
installation, the Chief Justice
called for the establishment of an
institute of law and ethics, which
would have as its purpose a con-
tinuing investigation of the inter-
relationship of these two areas of
human thought and behavior.

Shukairy, Palestinian lawyer who
founded the group in May 1964
with the s up p o r t of the Arab
League, that he intends to send
elements of the Liberation Army
to North Vietnam to "stand by"
the Vietcong in its conflict with
the United States, is seen in this
analysis as the latest sign of grow
ing collaboration of the PLO with
the Communist bloc.
The report, prepared by George
E. Gruen, AJC's Middle •East
specialist, adds that Sino-Soviet
competition "has led the Chinese
Communists to seek to balance
massive Soviet arms shipments to
the United Arab Republic, Syria,
Iraq and Algeria with demonstra-
tions of their own greater militancy
and support for the most extreme
anti-Israel positions."
The report traces PLO-
Communist collaboration from
October 1964, when .Shukairy
said he would seek military aid
from the Soviet Union and
Communist China "since the
doors of the West are closed to
us." Shukairy announced later in
1964 that Soviet arms stockpiled
in the United Arab Republic and
Iraq had been placed at his dis-
posal, that UAR President
Gamal Abdel Nasser had offered
New Irrigation Device
Saves Water, Yields
Bigger Negev Crops
TEL AVIV — A father-son team
•has invented an irrigation' device
that is helping turn out bumper
crops of vegetables in the Negev.
Simha and Yeshayahu Blass
designed the device, which trickles
a daily ration of water combined
with fertilizer to the roots of plants
in experimental fields.
Not only are the yields double
those in fields irrigated conven-
tionally, but the system uses 20
per cent less water than the usual
systems.
The installations cost $1,000
an acre and will be of greater
value for larger crops in areas
cultivating high-value, out-of-
season products.

I Israel's hot, dry summers. Ten per
cent of sprinkled water evaporates
without reaching the ground, and
20 per cent evaporates from the
surface of the ground.
The system involves thin pipes
laid underground. A device re-
leases water through slender
tubing at the rate of less than half
a gallon an hour. The water is
blended with liquid fertilizer in
cylinders before piping.
