JNF Is Moving Mountains
Tension Mounts in France as Primor Quits
By EDWIN EYTAN
PARIS (JTA) — Tensions
within the French Jewish
community have been sim-
mering for a long time. The
current state of affairs can
be attributed to suppressed
frustrations, intercom-
munal jealousies and an in-
tense dissatisfaction with
the government's anti-
Israel policy.
On the eve of the Six-Day
War, when throngs of Pari-
sian--Yews went out into the
str '.='5inging Israeli songs
,raving Israeli flags,
- the tensions reached near
-. honing point, but the lid
remained on. .
It nearly burst earlier
this month as most Jewish
communal organizations,
including the most prestigi-
_Jus among them, traded
mutual accusations, corn-
s inuniques and denials with
the Jewish Agency's repre-
sentative in France, Avi
Primor, a 45-year-old Is-

raeli career diplomat now
on leave of absence from the
Foreign Ministry.
On May 7, Baron Guy
de Rothschild, the head
of the famous banking
family and one of
France's best-known
communal leaders,
phoned Primor to ask for
an immediate appoint-
ment. When the two met,
that afternoon, the 71-
year-old silver-haired
banker, generally ele-
gant and even suave in
his approach, told him
bluntly:
"I have asked my son
David (a member of the
Jewish Agency's Board of
Governors), to telephone
(Agency chairman Leon)
Dulzin in Jerusalem and
ask for your recall."
°Rothschild blamed
Primor for the tone taken by
most of the main speakers
at the April 27 "12 Hours for
Israel" mass demonstra-
tion. He said that the
demonstration's organizer,
a 32-year-old lawyer, Henri
Hajdenberg, "had deviated
from his course and rapped
Jewish communal organ-
izations and their leaders."
Hajdenberg, who heads a
newly formed organization,
"Jewish Renewal," had said
in his opening address that
the community leaders
were shy, scared and timid
in defending Israel's inter-
ests and accused the
"Rothschilds of having

New Structure
at Technion
The
HAIFA
"Hexahyp," a 'giant tent-
structure for housing out-
door entertainment, ex-
hibitions and conferences,
has been developed by ar-
chitects at the Technion —
Israel Institute of Technol-
ogy.
Less expensive than any-
thing currently available
(about $40 a square meter),
the Hexahyp can be quickly
erected and dismantled, ar-
ranged in different forma-
tions and stored in a small
space, according to Prof.
Michael Burt, head of the
team that designed it for
Haifa's Morphor company.
Energy Gains
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is-
rael has reduced its per
capita consumption of
energy in Israel and the
administered territories to
less than two tons per year.
Israel now uses eight mil-
lion tons of fuel annually,
Some 35 percent of that
total is used to generate
electricity.
Energy consumption in
Western Europe is twice Is-
rael's rate and the U.S. con-
sumes four times as much
energy per person as Israel.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Jewish National Fund
moved more earth during
the fiscal year just ended
than during any other
single year ever.
Millions upon millions of
cubic meters was shifted
mainly in the "Pithat
Shalom" area in the south-
west, where 10 new settle-
ments are being prepared as
the "fallback position" for
the soon-to-be-ceded Pithat
Rafah, south of the Gaza
Strip.
To judge by the Pithat
Rafah experience (the
kibutzim and moshavim
there are also prepared by
the JNF), the farming can
quickly become lucrative
and satisfying.
In view of the tight
political schedule, the
work at Pithat Shalom is
proceeding, says JNF
Chairman Moshe Rivlin,
literally around the clock
— in three shifts. In
scope, time and volume,
therefore, he says, it is an
impressive performance
"even by international
criteria." To shore up the
newly-exposed farm-
lands and prevent a re-
encroachment by the
sand, the earth-moving is
followed by the planting
of miles of windbreakers.
During the same 12-
month period under review,
April 1979 to April 1980,
JNF opened up some 100
kilometers of roads in the
Galilee, most of them access
roads to the new "mitzpim"
(lookout settlements) that
the government and the
NEW YORK — Monsig-
nor Jorge Mejia of the Vati-
can told leaders of the
Synagogue Council of
America that tremendous
efforts are being made by
the Vatican to reach out to
Jewish people and to under-
stand the role of Jewish
religion today.
In his May 16 address to
the Synagogue Council,
Monsignor Mejia also cited
the close working relations
his commission maintains
with various agencies, in-
cluding the International
Jewish Committee on Inter-
religious Consultations.
Sadat Has Poor
Image of Carter
CAIRO (ZINS) — In a re-
cent Oktober magazine
interview, President Anwar
Sadat of Egypt described
U.S. President Jimmy Car-
ter as a "weak and indeci-
sive person who is not capa-
ble of taking a firm stand."
Sadat was also critical of
American policy in the Per-
sian Gulf and Afghanistan.
Suit the action to the
word, and the word to the
action.

The basic aim is to attract
young Jewish settlers and
thereby bolster the Jewish
presence in the Galilee,
which, over recent years,
had been becoming more
and more homogeneously
Arab.
There were "no inci-
dents," Rivlin notes, "no
scandals." Not one inch of
privately owned Arab land
was touched against the
owner's will. And, equally
important, the new roads
and new settlements —
whose basic infrastructure
is another JNF responsibil-
ity — are not a visual blight
upon the delicate scenery of
the Galilee. "We are chang-
ing the scene without harm-
ing the scenery," the JNF
chairman observes.
