Spy Exposed
As Ex-Nazi
Paris (JTA) — Alois Brun-
ner, perhaps the most wanted
Nazi war criminal still at
large, worked for the West
German intelligence service
in Lebanon and Syria during
the 1960s, a French news-
paper reported. Brunner
served as station chief in
Damascus for the Bonn gov-
ernment's intelligence agen-
cy, the Bundesnarichten-
dienst, also known as BND.
France issued an interna-
tional arrest order earlier this
month for Brunner, 73, who
still lives in Syria, apparent-
ly protected by the govern-
ment of President Hafez
Assad.
Brunner was a top aide to
Adolf Eichmann, who imple-
mented the Final Solution
and was tried and executed in
Israel in 1961. Brunner has
been twice sentenced to death
in absentia for war crimes
and crimes against humanity.
According to the newspaper
account, Brunner planned to
kidnap Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann, then president of the
World Jewish Congress, and
hold him hostage for the
release. of Eichmann, who had
been kidnapped by the
Israelis from his Argentina
hideout.

Brackish Water
Irrigates
Jerusalem — It will be a
long time before sea water
can be used directly for drink-
ing or for irrigation, but a
method of using brackish
(moderately saline) water for
irrigation without harming
crops is being developed at
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem's faculty of
agriculture.
University scientists ir-
rigated avocado saplings
grown from seeds with
brackish water containing
different levels of nitrate and
chloride (salt). The higher
concentrations of nitrate us-
ed, the better the avocado
plants were able to withstand
the harmful effect of the
higher chloride levels in the
irrigation water.
This technique could pro-
vide a means to continue us-
ing local water for agriculture
in the coastal region of Israel,
where water quality is declin-
ing because of the encroach-
ment of sea water. For arid
areas, such as the Negev, it
could mean the possibility of
a viable agriculture being
developed using the brackish
water which had previously
been thought to be too salty
for growing crops.
