JNF Builds 50-Mile Road
Paralleling West Bank
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM—The Jewish Na-
tional Fund has opened a 50-mile
road paralleling the west bank of
the Jordan River from Umm Tuts
in the north to the Kalliah mill-
tary outpost on the shores of the
Dead Sea.
The new road provides a short-
cut in bypassing the existing Jeri-
cho road. For the time being, it
is used mainly as a patrol route
for the army and border police.
Israel is speedily replacing dirt
roads with paved roads in border
areas to prevent the planting of
mines.

Israeli Arab Insists Direct
Talks Are Only Solution
LONDON (JTA) — An Israel
Arab labor leader and former
member of the Knesset (Parlia-
ment) told a British audience Sun-
day that direct negotiations be-
tween Israel and the Arab states
were the only possible solution for
the Middle East problem. Yosuf
Khamis, a member of the Mapam
Party and of the Executive of His-
tadrut, Israel's labor federation,
spoke at a meeting arranged by
Mapam in Britain. He is in charge
of social welfare for West Bank
Arabs.
WASHINGTON (JTA)—A bill to
improve federal protection of
synagogues and other houses of
worship that are the target of
arsonists was introduced by Rep.
Benjamin S. Rosenthal, New York
Democrat.
The legislation would "close
the gap among state laws and
between federal and state law
in those instances where states
have weak or ineffective protec-
tion for houses of worship vic-
timized by arsonists," he said.
The present law makes it a fed-
eral crime to use explosives to
destroy a house of worship and
some states have no laws covering
certain categories of arson. In in-
troducing his measure, Rep. Ros-
enthal cited the recent wave of
fires and vandalism in synagogues
in the New York metropolitan
area.
He noted that the Bill of Rights
I guarantees Americans freedom of
worship, and the Civil Rights Act
of 1968 extended federal protec-
tion to individuals whose civil
rights, including the right to wor-
ship,' are violated.
Julius Simon, a Founder,
Past President of PEC
NEW YORK (JTA)—Julius Si-
mon, a founder and for 20 years
president of the Palestine Econ-
omic Corp., died here March 24 at
age 93. He was a resident of
Princeton. N.J.
Mr. Simon, a partner in a New
York brokerage firm, helped form
the PEC in 1926 to enable Amer-
icans to participate in the econ-
omic development of Palestine
and to help Jewish settlers there
become self-supporting. He serv-
ed as its president from 1931 to
1951 and was a director and presi-
dent emeritus at the time of his
death.
Mr. Simon was born in Ger-
many, the son of a naturalized
American citizen who had served I
as a Confederate soldier in the
Civil War. He became a Zionist
and worked in banking and real I
estate and did not come to the
United States until 1921, at age 45.
