HAIFA — A cornerstone for a
Senior Technicians School to train
highly skilled technicians for Is-
rael's development has been laid
at the Technion—Israel Institute
of Technology.
At the ceremony, Yosef Ahnogi,
Israel minister of labor, said the
new school "was of paramount
interest" to the country's economy
and defense. The government is
helping finance the school costing
$1,750,000.
"Because of the anticipated
future shortage of senior tech-
nicians, the new school will have
priority as to manpower, equip-
ment and materials," said Al-
exander Goldberg, president of
the Technion.
Senior technicians, often called
"Handesaim" are semi - skilled
workers. In America, they would
be called factory foremen or man-
agers.
On completion, the school will
have an enrollment of 2,400. near-
ly twice the number now trained
in this category at the Technion.
Following the dedication, more
than 1,100 senior technician di-
plomas and school finishing cer-
tificates were awarded to students
in mechanics, agriculture, engi-
neering, electricity, electronics,
chemistry and construction who !
completed the course during 1966-
68.
Golan Potential
GOLAN HEIGHTS (ZINS) —
Twenty villages will be established
by the Israel government in the
Golan Heights during 1970, it was
learned here. In that particular
sector, where no Arabs lived, ap-
proximately 7.000 Druze inhabit
the area and their relationship
with Israel is excellent. The Druze,
in fact, regret that Israel has not
moved farther into Syria and
"liberated" more of their kin.
Fruits and vegetables grown in
the Golan Heights are the peer of
those found in European farm-
lands. The same range of vegeta-
bles grown throughout Israel re-
quire artificial irrigation which
greatly increases their cost of
packaging for market.
The Golan Heights are blessed
with plentiful water and no arti-
ficial irrigation is required. This
lower cost makes possible a new
program of canning and packing,
and has resulted in plans for a
number of factories.
More than 50,000,000 pounds
($14,500,000) have already been in-
vested in the development of the
Golan area, and further invest-
ments in the future may total
nmre than triple the present sum.
There is also a great future for
the Golan Heights as a resort

Gen. Dayan delivered his re-
marks to a group of 50 American
investors visiting Kfar Ruppin, a
Beisan Valley settlement that has
come under almost daily attack
from Jordan.
Ile said that while Israel has
ceased fire in accord with its
neighbors, it will hit back if the
accord is violated, regardless of
agreements that may have been
made between the authorities in
Beirut and the El Fatah guerillas.
Gen. Dayan told the visiting
group that the terrorists have no
hope of defeating the Israeli army.

'No Serious Readership
for French Jewish Press'
PARIS (JTA)—The Jewish press
in France has impressive circula-
tion but is not seriously read, ac-
cording to a report published in
"Information Juive," a publication
of the French section of the World
Jewish Congress.
There are 16 Jewish publications
in the French language, and they
have circulations ranging from a
minimum of 1,500 to 37,000, accord-
ing to the report. But they are
received in only about 30,000
French-Jewish homes.
Another 20,000 Jewish homes do
not consider it worthwhile sub-
scribing to the Jewish press.
The report concluded, however,
that despite its narrow readership
and imperfections, it makes a posi-
tive contribution toward preserv-
ing the continuity of the French-
Jewish community.

UJA Study Missions
Bring Different Tourists
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The tourist
season is over in Israel, but scores
of Americans continue to arrive in
the country every week for more
than sight-seeing. They are par-
ticipants in the United Jewish
Appeal's "Operation Israel," a
series of study missions intended
to acquaint American Jewish Com-
munity leaders and other influen-
tial persons with Israel's economic
and social problems at first hand.
This week, the 'CIA's Women's
Division is represented by a 100-
member delegation. They were
addressed Tuesday by Col. Ger-
shon Rivlin, the army historian,
who stressed the importance of
Israel's ties with Jews all over
the world. "The Arabs have
their rich and powerful allies,
but Israel has a stronger, more
trustworthy ally — the Jewish
people," he said.
Another UJA group visited Beth
Shean (Beisan) Tuesday, where
two schools are under construc-
tion financed by the Israel Educa-
tion Fund of the UJA. The Wom-
en's Division of the New York
UJA has pledged to raise $1,000,-
000 in the next two years for the
Beth Shean High School, an edu-
cation center and a pre-kinder-
garten institution. Beth Shean, the
Hebrew name for Beisan, is the
central township of the Beisan
Valley located west of the Jordan
River and south of the Sea of
Galilee.
The region, with its string of
agricultural settlements, has been
described as Israel's "soft under-
belly" because of its vulnerability
to attacks from Jordanian terri-
tory.

take "strict and final" measures
if the Cairo agreement between
Lebanese authorities and Pales-
tinian guerrillas, giving the lat-
ter more freedom of action, was
not kept.
Syria closed its Lebanese border
last month in support of guerrilla
demands for a free hand to conduct
military operations against Israel
from Lebanese territory.
At least one guerrilla demand
was fulfilled when Palestinian com-
mandos seized virtual control of 14
of the 15 Arab refugee camps in
Lebanon.
The camps are operated by the
United Nations Relief and Works
Agency and Lebanon authorities.
The latter were ousted as armed
guerrillas took over camp authority
and police duties. Palestinian com-
mando flags flew side by side with
Lebanese flags.
The 15 camps in Lebanon of-
ficially held 170,000 refugees,
but are inhabited by many more
who are unregistered. The Sy-
rian news agency Sana announc-
ed that the decision to reopen
the Lebanese border was taken
by the political bureau of the
Baath
ruling Arab Socialist
Party, the highest authority in
Syria.
While ostensibly a conciliatory
gesture toward President Charles
Helou of Lebanon, the open bor-
ders will greatly facilitate the
movement of Syrian arms and sup-
plies to the guerrillas. It also will
ease Lebanon's economic burden.
The country's trade was hard hit
when the border closure caused a
logjam of ships in Bierut harbor
waiting to unload.
