lays. Under the system proposed
by the new Israelis, costs of the
oil can be reduced to a little more
than two dollars a barrel, as
against the seven to thirteen dol-
lars per barrel of oil produced by
existing platform methods.
The inventive ex-Russians
churn out other proposals based
on their technology for the pro-
duction of non-metallic (or com-
posite) materials. Among these
are containers (tanks or boilers)
which are light in weight, can
withstand great pressure, do not
rust, and have a long life span.
The same material can be used
for bodies of trucks, buses, rail-
way cars and modular buildings.
These are not pipe dreams.
Haifa industrialists and the mu-
nicipality have placed at their dis-
posal a large industrial building
in the city. They might well say:
We have the brains; we have the
ideas; we have the staff - all we
need now is investment capital.
Any millionaires out there who

A New Dawn
For Jericho

SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Joshua destroyed it; Marc An-
thony made a present of it to
Cleopatra; King Herod and King
Hussein used to winter there to
enjoy its mild climate. Is Mr.
Arafat going to be the its new
ruler?
One of the oldest cities in the
world-so say the oldest—"the city
of the palms", as it was called in
biblical times, is a lush oasis in
the wilderness of Judah. Situat-
ed for miles west of the Jordan
river and 20 miles east of
Jerusalem, Jericho owes it exis-
tence to a bountiful spring, and
its importance to its strategic po-
sition at a crossroads. There is
evidence of human settlement
dating back some 12,000 years,
and if not the oldest city in the
world, at 300 meters (900 feet)
below sea level, it is certainly the
lowest. This is due to the fact
that it is squarely in the Syro-
African fault, the Great Rift Val-
ley, which runs for 3,000 miles
from South-east Africa to north-
ern Syria.
It was Jericho's fate to be for-
ever in the path of conquering
armies—and very rarely to with-
stand them. Walls and watch
towers were built and time after
time destroyed. History, of
course, only remembers Joshua
and the children of Israel, the
spies sent, the good-hearted har-
lot of Jericho who hid them, and
of course the trumpets which
brought the walls tumbling down.
No one knows when the last,
