Jordan Charge Sapir, U.S. Treasury Secretary
on Aksa Wall
Explore Devaluation Problems
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
—Israeli Ambassador Yosef
Tekoah has denounced Jor-
dan's accusation of Israel for
the collapse of an inside wall
in the El Aksa mosque.
He described the charge
as "v icious propaganda"
that "demonstrates that the
Jordanian government is not
yet ready to replace hostility
. . with a serious search
for understanding."
Tekoab was responding to
a Feb. 14 letter from Jor-
dan's ambassador to the UN
to Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim In which the ac-
cusation was made.
Tekoah said the wall came
down Feb. 11 while Arab
workers, employed by the
Moslem Waqf authorities,
were digging a foundation
for new marble pillars
brought recently from Rome.
According to Tekoah, the
supreme Moslem Council
immediately issued a state-
ment that the possibility of
the wall collapse had been
anticipated and precautionary
measures had been taken.
"In fact," Tekoah added,
"work is continuing normally
under the direction of the
Moslem authorities."
Almogi: Arab Labor
From Territories Is
Permanent Factor
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Labor Minister Joseph Al-
mogi told the Knesset that
Arab labor from the admin-
istered territories must be
regarded as a permanent
factor in Israel.
He said, however, that if
the economic condition of the
territories was improved, the
workers would prefer to find
jobs closer to home.
Almogi said that the Six-
Day War had lifted the
economic "iron curtain"
which formerly separated Is-
rael from its surroundings.
He noted that both hawks
and doves in Israel envisaged
a peace settlement that
would allow workers to cross
Israel's borders freely in
both directions.

Sapir said "I always go with
a feeling of realism, I know
what is done and what has
to be done."
In the U. S. fiscal year
1973, which ends June 30, the
U. S. had earmarked $515,-
000,000 for Israel. Of this,
credits were extended total-
ing $300.000,000 in military
aid, $100.000,000 in housing
loans, $65.000.000 in credits
for the purchase of com-
modities under Public Law
480 and a grant of S50.000,000
in supporting economic as-
sistance.
