TEL AVIV — The Dead Sea
Works Co. said Tuesday its engi-
neers had completed plans for a
pipeline to carry potash from the
Dead Sea to the Ashdod port. The
pipeline cost was estimated at
16,000,000 pounds ($3,333,000).
The potash would be converted
to a fluid mix with magnesium
chloride. After extraction of the
potash, the chloride also would be
exported, a step which would re-
duce considerably the price for
world markets and make it more
competitive. The engineers indi-
cated that other byproducts, cur-
rently discarded for export, might
also be shipped. Such use of those
byproducts is currently not feas-
ible because of the high transporta-
tion charges.

Louis Levitan, manager of the Israel Bond organization
in Detroit, announcing plans for "Action Day for Israel" to be
observed Sunday, declared that Israel's needs at this time must
impel all Jewish communities to increase the investment po-
tentials through Israel Bond sales. This implies the need for
immediate payments on Bond purchases, he emphasized, and
he called the "Action Day" program vital for the current
critical situation.
Levitan said Israel Bond volunteers will meet at the
Sholem Aleichem Institute, for the commencement of the
drive at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. Volunteer workers are asked to
contact the Israel Bond workers, DI 1-5707, to arrange for
participation and to secure assignments.
Melvin Weisz and Mrs. Harold A. Robinson are grand
marshals of "Israel Action Day." They report that hundreds
of volunteers are being enrolled to help collect cash on Israel
Bond pledges in the year-end campaign sponsored by the
Detroit Israel Bond Committee. All those having unpaid
pledges are asked to mail in their checks to the Israel Bond
Office, 8522 W. McNichols, and to welcome the volunteers
who come to collect.
