• • Initial Sale of $178 Million in Bonds Marks Biggest Campaign Opening MIAMI BEACH (JTA) — An initial sale of $178,133,000 in Israel Bonds announced here last weekend marked the official opening of the "biggest campaign' for Is- rael's support since it was founded 26 years ago," Is- rael Bond officials said. More than 1,800 Jewish leaders from the United States and Canada joined in launching a worldwide drive to raise the unprecedented sum of $1,000,000,000 through the sale of a new issue of Israel Reconstruction and Development Bonds. Sam Rothberg, general chairman of the Israel Bond Organization, who presided at the inaugural dinner, said that the campaign would help Israel's economy recover from the October war and lay the economic foundations for peace in the coming year. He declared that the pro- ceeds from the sale of Israel Bonds would also provide for the economic absorption of 60,000 new immigrants ex- pected to reach Israel from the Soviet Union and other countries this year. The $1,000,000,000 Recon- struction and Development Bond issue will be allocated to various development areas, as follows: agriculture—$60,- 000,000; aviation — $40.000,- 000; community facilities (schools. hospitals and public building) — $50,000,000; elec- tric power — $50,000,000; housing — $80,000.000; indus- try and crafts — 8170,000,000; irrigation — $100,000,000; mining and minerals — $100,- 000,000; port development — $10.000,000; road building and maintenance — $100,000,000; shipping — $30,000,000; tele- communications — $110,000,- 000; and other items and general reserve — $100,000,- 000. Commenting on Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's success in obtaining a list of 65 Israel prisoners of war from Syria, Premier Golda Meir, in a cabled message to the conference, expressed the hope that this would be the initial sten toward the re- lease of the prisoners.

Mrs. Meir emphasized, however, that "negotiations and peace can be achieved only if Israel is strong." In a cable, Finance Minis- ter Pinhas Sapir warned that because the country's defense expenditures would consume 40 per cent of its total bud- FOR THE NEW MAN IN YOUR LIFE. Africans Doubtful of Arab Tie; Still Feel Effects of Embargo NEW YORK—A columnist for Fraternite Matin, an Ivory Coast newspaper, has questioned the wisdom of black African nations in sid- ing • with the Arabs in ex- change for the promise of an Arab oil boycott of Rho- desia, Portugal and South Africa. A New York Times corres- pondent reported that similar ideas have been heard in several parts of black Africa recently. The article, "Treason or Calculation?" raised the question whether "the Arab states have not deceived our countries and agreed among themselves that we are gulli- ble." Even though several black African nations broke ties with Israel last year, they are still feeling the effect of the oil embargo against the Western nations. The higher petroleum prices also -have hit the black Africans in con- junction with increased costs of imports and growing in- flation. ' On the day after the article appeared, the government- owned newspaper issued a front-page disclaimer, which stated that the column was a personal view and not that of the Ivory Coast govern- ment. However, some diploinats, officials and intellectuals have begun to question just how the Arab oil producers will keep their promise that black Africa will not suffer. Visits by the oil producers to the Middle East -and North Africa have been viewed as threatening to the four-month- old Arab-black African ac- cord. A West African diplomat said that there are hopes that the Arabs will act quickly on their promise to Africa. He noted that in May the black African nations and the Arabs clashed over the Middle East situation.
