JNF Unfolds Master Plan to Reclaim Arava
NEW YORK (JTA) — One thou-
sand delegates, gathered for the
inaugural of the 70th anniversary
of the Jewish National Fund,
heard of a new program for the
conquest of the Arava, Israel's
most forbidding desert, stretching
from the Dead Sea to the Red
Sea.
Ambassador Jacob Tsur, world
chairman of the fund in Jeru-
salem. told delegates that the
reclamation by the JNF of 10,000
acres and the preparation of sites
of six new settlements, three of
which are already in an advanced
planning stage, will pave the way
for the first human habitation in
this neglected sector of the Middle
East.
The master plan will require a
substantial financial commitment
from American Jewry over an
initial three-year period.

Humphrey insisted Sat "It is
in the best interest of all con-
cerned with peace in the Middle
East that the U.S. unmistakeably
clear its bond with Israel." He
said, "The measure of our com-
mitment to 'Israel is also the
. measure of the chance for Arab
world peace."
Continuing, Humphrey observed:
"Israel's recognized and guar-
anteed borders must be such that
population centers will not be ex-
posed to the violent whims of dis-
sident guerrillas. I also applaud
assurances of the government of
Israel that once negotiations begin,
with a firm peace in mind, Israel
will be flexible on final borders
. .. The Palestinian refugees must
be given the choice of repatriation
or compensation."
