Plans for Moshav in Golan Heights
Told at Economic Parley in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A move
to establish more Jewish settle-
ments in the occupied Golan
Heights of Syria was announced
in the wake of Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan's declaration last
Friday that Israel considered the
futtire status of the Heights "un-
negotiable."
Haoved Hatzioni, the settle-
ment movement of the Independ-
ent Liberal Party, immediately
announced plans for establish-
ment of a new moshav (small-
holders village )in the heights.
Dr. Raanan Weitz, head of the
Jewish Agency's settlement de-
partment, said that the number
of settlements in the Golan
Heights could be doubled from
the present 10. Dr. Weitz said the
heights contained some 40,000
acres of arable land of which one-
third was under cultivation.
Gen. Dayan's remarks, made
before a gathering of Western
businessmen at the World Eco-
nomic Conference for Israel,
by June 19'70. He said the corpor-
ations goal was an initial subscrip-
tion of $35,000,000 and that plans
called -for raising $17,000,000 in
the U.S., $8,000,000 in Europe,
$6,000,000 in Israel and $4,000,000
in other countries.
At an earlier session Asher
Yedlin, a Histadrut official, said
that with only a 50 per cent in-
crease in investments in Israeli
enterprises, production could be
doubled. He is secretary general
of Hevrat Ovdim, the agency over-
seeing Histadrut-owned industries.
The party was addressed by
Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, mini-
ster of immigrant absorption,
who said that all immigrants
could be absorbed with Israel's
present economic and social clim-
ate. He expressed hope that many
foreign professionals would settle
here and predicted that immigra-
