UPPSALA, Sweden—Despite the
efforts of a Lebanese Christian
prelate to wreck it, a document en-
couraging respect for the Jewish
people was adopted at the recent
general assembly of the World
Council of Churches here.
A report of the proceedings was
give in Jerusalem by Nathaniel
Lorch of the foreign ministry, one
of three Israelis who attended as
semi-official observers. Political
speeches against Israel were de-
livered by the Greek Orthodox
Archimandrite of Antiochus (Le-
banon) and by the Egyptian Coptic
Patriarch.
The "Jewish document" encour-
aged church members to visit syn-
agogues and familiarize them-
selves with Jewish customs. It also
stated that the commission dealing
with the question had heard with
satisfaction that a number of
churches had carried out a resolu-
tion taken at the last assembly
on the removal of anti-Jewish ref-
erences from the liturgy.

the lights burn late every night
and weekends because it is the
editorial office of a unique venture
in Jewish journalism.
At the desk sits the editor,
Bernard Postal, who has been the
editor of the Jewish Digest since
its inception in October 1955, and
now looks forward to its 13th an-
niversary issue in September when
the magazine completes Vol. 13.
Postal has been editing the mag-
azine as a labor of love because he
believes it is an important instru-
ment for raising the level of Jew-
ish literacy in America. He makes
his living as public relations direc-
tor of the National Jewish Welfare
Board.

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The for-

cate of Franco-Israeli rapproche-
ment has retracted a statement he
made in Paris that the French
government might soon change its
policy toward Israel.
The statement was attributed to
Salomon Friederich, head of the
League for Israel-French Friend-

Herut Party here. A spokesman
said the foreign ministry learned
of the retraction through inquiries
made of Friederich by the Israel
Embassy in Paris.

would be operating a nuclear pow-
ered desalination and electric gen-
erating plant by 1975.
But according to George Woods,
who headed a team of American
desalination experts that just con-
cluded talks here, the difficulties
facing the project are more finan-
cial than technical.
Woods said on his departure for
the United States that Israel re-
quired cheap financing for the
plant if the cost of desalted sea-
water is to be kept within economic
limits.
The project is considered essen-
tial inasmuch as the country's
existing fresh water sources, in-
cluding the Jordan river and all
springs and wells, are insufficient
to keep up with the growing popu-
lation - which needs additional
arable land. President Johnson first
announced the project in 1964.

Israeli Furniture Making
A Hit as Export Item

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Furniture
with the "made in Israel" stamp
shows signs of becoming an im-

are being made to expand its

here.
The industry exported $300,000
worth of furniture during the first
half of 1968, a sharp rise over the
equivalent period of last year. It
now has orders valued at $2,000,-
000, mainly from the United States
and from several African countries
as well.
