Israel Sales to U.S. Up; Trade Deficit Is Cut TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel sold more and bought less in the United States in 1967 than it did in 1966, it was announced here. The coun- try's exports to the U.S. amounted to $89,900,000 last year compared to $77,400,000 the previous year, while im p or t s from America tot all e d $195,600,000 in 1967 against $221,600,000 in 1966. Israel's unfavorable trade balance with the United States thus was decreased by $38,000,000. The figures were disclosed in connection with Monday's an- nouncement by U.S. Ambassador Walworth Barbour that 53 Amer- ican manufacturers will exhibit their products at the Tel Aviv In- ternational Trade Fair that opens here on June 4. The ambassador said, at an embassy press con- ference, that $1,600,000 in orders for American products was ex- pected as a result of his country's participation in the trade fair. The 'figure was a projection based on orders arising from the last trade fair here in 1966. Most of the American equip- ment and goods for display at the fair will be landed at Haifa on May 8 by the nuclear-powered cargo ship Savannah, which will be making her first call at an Israel port. The exhibit items fall into three categories and were selected to meet the requirements of the Israeli market and this country's economic development plans, Ambassador Barbour said. Many of the exhibits will be on display for the first time outside of the U.S.A. Executives and top technical personnel of the partici- pating manufacturers will be on hand for seminars and training sessions on the operation of the American equipment and to con- duct negotiations for orders. `Jumpy' El-Fatah Guards Fire on 3 British MPs-One a Friend (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) LONDON—Trigger-happy guards at the El Fatah base at Karameh in Jordan opened fire Tuesday on three visiting members of parlia- ment, who turned their car around and sped off, abandoning what was to have been a fact-finding mis- sion at the encampment. The in- cident was reported by the Daily Telegraph's Amman correspond- ent, who accompanied the MPs on their visit and drove with them earlier to Jerusalem. The three were identified as Dr. Ern- est Davies, Colin Jackson and Dr. David Owen, all Laborites. Jack- son is known for his pro-Arab views. The Telegraph's correspondent attributed the hostile reception to "jumpiness" on the part of El Fatah members who fear that Is- rael will mount night commando raids and plant mines in Jordan in line with a new counter-terror- ist strategy. The correspondent said that Arabs in Jerusalem con- firmed that there has been a marked reduction in El Fatah raids on the West Bank since Is- rael's March 21 attack on the Karameh base. The former Jordanian governor, Anwar Khatib, told the Telegraph correspondent that he is compil- ing a long list of charges against Israel which he will present to the UN secretary general's new emissary investigating the condi- tions of Arab civilians in Israel- occupied areas. He said "I am including ill treatment, torture and mutilation" of Palestinian Arabs detained by Israel. Jordanians opened fire four times Tuesday afternoon on Is- raeli positions in the northern Bei- san Valley. The fire was returned and there was no casualties. Mon- day night an Israeli Army jeep was attacked on the Araba road south of the Dead Sea. The occu- pants returned the fire and there were no casualties. (The Baltimore Sun reported from Tel Aviv that an electronic fence erected on the Jordan-Israel cease-fire line as a protection against infiltrators may be ex- tended the entire distance be- tween the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee, about 45 miles, to pro- tect the settlements in the Beisan Valley.)
