"It is a policy of the Depart-
ment of Defense," the statement
declared, "that we will partici-

in every way unsegregated, and
anything at which we had an

Mardi Gras Week would have to
be an unsegregated event.
"But this does not mean that
a naval officer who receives an
invitation to a segregated private
party cannot attend it as an indi-
vidual if he wants to."
The decision to attend such a
private event, the department
spokesman said, would be left to
the conscience of the individual.
The Navy will furnish lists of
the officers and men aboard ships
visiting New Orleans during Mardi
Gras if segregated organizations
there request such lists, the spokes-
man said. Ile emphasized however,
that the lists would not be broken
down to indicate the race, creed
or religion of crew members.

to Britain From Israel
LONDON (JTA)—Israel bought
slightly less from and sold slightly
more to Britain in 1967 than it did
in 1966. according to figures pub-
lished in the Anglo-Israel Trade
Journal.
During the 16 months ending

goods and materials to Israel
valued at 42,846,000 pounds ster-
ling (about $102,830,400) and im-
ported the same from Israel in
the amount of 28,076,000 pounds
sterling (about $57,076,000). In the
same period of 1966, British ex-
ports to Israel were valued at
45,074,000 pounds sterling (about
$107,177,000), and her imports at
