TEL AVIV, (JTA) — The
American President Lines
of San Francisco, a major
American shipping com-
pany, is about to inaugurate
container service from the
U.S. to the Far East via the
Suez Canal which will in-
clude calls at the Israeli
ports of Haifa and Ashdod.
According to sources, the
company is waiting for the
first Israeli cargoes to pass
through the Suez Canal next
Wednesday before putting
its schedule into effect.
Representatives of the
line visited Israel recently to
appoint local agents. They
also met with port authori-
ties and with officials of the
Zim Lines, Israel's national
shipping company.
Zim Lines circles have
expressed fears that the
APL would become a seri-
ous competitor, inasmuch
as it would be carrying
Israeli cargoes through

The first incumbent will
be Dresden-horn Prof.

problems and policy.
Prof. Barkai received his
bachelor and masters de-

The dock boss claimed
he was insulted when a
young border policeman,
new to the job, failed to
recognize him and de-
manded identification at
the port gate two months
ago. Peretz taught the pol-
iceman a "lesson" by clos-
ing down the port within
minutes. Later, however,
he admitted that he had
acted hastily, called off the
strike and shook hands
with the policeman.
Last week's wildcat strike
posed a test of Israel's judi-
cial process — whether a
legally imposed sentence of
a court could be challenged
outside of the legal channels
— was originally encour-
aged by the tough-talking
Peretz who told his follow-
ers, "If you don't see me,
you close the town; that's an
order."
But after a two-hour
closed-door session with
Histadrut leaders, Peretz
agreed to appeal his sent-
ence to the higher courts
and send his men back to
work.
Work was resumed un-
loading 10 ships which had
been idle since Tuesday
