JERUSALEM — Israeli sources are smiling at a re- cent British-Egyptian auto- mobile manufacturing pact, and have also been assured that the British company, Leyland, will honor its pres- ent contract with Israel for chassis and spare parts for the Israeli plant at Ashdod. Spokesmen were original- ly concerned that Leyland would hedge on its Israeli contract as part of the Egyp- tian deal, but have been as- sured that Leyland will hon- or its Israeli contract. They also said that the contract with the British was not a good one for the Egyp- tians because cheaper alter- natives to Leyland transpor- tation were available.
