I_ DAYENU JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli sources expressed surprise at re- ports from London quoting the legal adviser of the Suez Canal Authority as having declared that the north end of the waterway, leading into i the Mediterranean, would be opened to permit the re- lease of 15 ships stranded in the canal and the Great Bitter Lake since the Six-Day War. They pointed out that the canal cannot be opened without Israel's agreement and that Israel has only agreed to permit the clearance of the canal from the south end open- ing into the Red Sea. Negotiations on release of the ships are being conducted in Lon- don by the canal authority's legal MISS GINA DORFMAN adviser with a representative of Mr. and Mrs. Moshe Dorfman Lloyds, the underwriters.

Since closing of the canal in June 1967, the Bri- tish have had to pay greatly in- creased charter rates for tankers rounding the Cape of Good Hope. A report published this week stressed the shift towards super- tankers specifically designed for the. Cape route. The Organization for Economic- Cooperation and De- velopment in Paris forecast that giant tankers now under construc- tion will make the Suez Canal route obsolete for oil traffic, which would have serious consequences on the Egyptian economy. The report noted that of 294 ships on order at the end of last year, 115 were tankers of more than 200,000 tons capacity. "Oy . if only there was a Doctor to remove the callouses from our souls!"
