THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, March 14, 1969-37 Desalting Plant Losing Support? Report Interior Secretary Not Behind It WASHINGTON (JTA)—Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel does not suppdrt a federal budget item that would provide $40,000,000 for a nuclear desalination plant in Israel, Rep. William Fitts Ryan, (D., N.Y.) charged. Rep. Ryan disclosed that Secre- tary Hickel appeared before the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, on which the Con- gressman serves, and "did not ex- press support for the project." Pur- suing the matter, Rep. Ryan was later told by Hickel that the matter "would have to be decided by President Nixon." Last Jan. 17, then-President Johnson included a provision for a desalination plant in Israel in the budget submitted for fiscal year 1970. On Jan. 19, the late Premier Levi Eshkol publicized this action in Israel upon advice from the White House. The Interior Department of the outgoing Democratic administra- tion told Congress that new sour- ces of water for Israel were vital if Israel was to maintain its indus- trial and economic growth. Rep. Ryan submitted a bill Jan. 23 to provide assistance to Israel for a dual-purpose elec- trical power and desalination plant, citing the recommend- ations of the Johnson administra- tion. During February, the mat- ter was considered by the House Interior Committee in a way 'Free a TV All . Private a Air Cond.

Ryan and some other members to conclude that "This administration may not ful- fill the commitment which Pres- ident Johnson made to Premier Eshkol." Reps. Ryan and Hugh Carey (D., N.Y.) have now written President Nixon that "We are very concern- ed that your administration may intend to back away from the com- mitment which President Johnson made to Israel Premier Eshkol to participate in the construction of this vitally needed facility." They pointed out that research benefits would be gained by the U.S. and that the cause of peace would be served in the area by it. President Nixon was reminded that "During the course of your cam- paign for the presidency, you made reference on several occasions to the need to maintain America's commitment to Israel (on desalt- ing)." He was urged to reaffirm Presidential support for the under- taking. OCEANFRONT HOTEL j The Air-Conditioned e Under Waldman Supervision Plan Your Summer Vacation With Us Now!

Their walk- ing tour was part of a visit to the area where the Jewish teen-agers were guests of black youngsters who live in the slums. Rabbi Leonard Schoolman, direc- tor of youth activities of the New York Federation of Reform Syna- gogues, said the event was the first such project in the history of the Reform movement and possibly in Jewish youth activities generally. It was an outgrowth of a partner- ship between the Reform federa- tion and Harlem Negroes in a pro- ject to provide decent housing for residents of the area, worked out in conjunction with the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, of which the Reform Federation is a regional unit. cancia,rial FREE PARKING ON PREMISES Pool - Beach - Sun Deck ;375 dly. per pers. dble. occ.
