Jerusalem. Jan. 12. UTA— Israel's Cabinet discussed today, at its regular weekly meeting, the developments surrounding Israel's p r o j e c t lor drawing waters from the Jordan River and Lake Tiberias to the Negev, in the light of the .summit conference of Arab heads of state w h i ch convened Tuesday in Cairo. Mrs. Golda Mcir. the Foreign Minister, reported to the Cabinet about steps taken by the Government to counteract the Arab propaganda c a in p a i g n, aimed at distorting the nature of Israel's water project. . While political quarters discount Arab threats against Israel, and view the Cairo, summit parley as motivated chiefly by Arab mnncuvcri.if; for leadership of the Arab bloc, it is feared nevertheless that the situation may endanger the peace of the Middle East. No details of the "measures" reported by Mrs. Meir were disclosed following her report to the Cabinet. It was assumed, however, that Israel is in contact with other governments, restating its position regarding the water project, and emphasizing that the development is purely an internal matter, calling for no interference on the part of outside powers or international bodies. The summit conference of Arab kings and presidents, convoked by Egyptian President Nasser, opened with plans prepared by a technical committee of the Arab League to divert the waters of Jordan River in such a way as to prevent Israel from bringing Jordan River water to the Negev through Lake Tiberias. Thirteen Arab countries are participating in the parley. The plans to be laid before the heads of the Arab states wiJl propose a three-pronged construction project involving: 1. Euilding two storage dams in Jordan to take the waters of ihe Yarmuk River, which is the chief tributary of the Jordan River; 2. Building a storage dam in Lebanon, containing the waters of another Jordan River tributary, the Hasbani River; 3. Building oi canals in Syria eastward and westward of a third Jordan River tributary, the Baniyas River.' Through these projects, the principal tributaries of the Jordan River would be diverted into vast storage and irrigation developments in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. At the same time, the Jordan River inside Israel, which flows into Israel's Lake Tiberias, would he left with- a mere trickle of water. According to Arab figures, about 77 per cent of the Jordan Riverwater sources would thus be trapped on the Arab side. Although Egypt is not touched either by the Jordan River or by any of tlut waterway's tributaries, the Egyptian Government is a member of the technical committee which finalized these plans. The other members of the committee ore representatives of the three Arab states
containing the J o r d a n River headwaters and the river's more important tributaries — Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. Only one Jordan River tributary, the Dan River, is an Israel. But Lake Tiberias, which receives the main flow of the Jordan from the Arab areas in the north, is entirely within Israeli territory, 't is Iran this lake that Israel has planned a project to carry the waters about JO miles s o u t h w a r d , through pipes, canals and tunnels, to tlie northern reaches of the Negev Desert. ' The summit meeting, according to Nasser's plans, is intended to solidify Arab actions in opposition to Israel's project. While t h e r e is wide disagreement among most of the Arab states on most political issues, they all agreed m their opposition to Israel. The technical plan to be laid before the heads of the Arab States was seen here as the alternative to the only other choice open to the Arab states opposed to Israel's development. That choice would involve military action—and it wns conceded by Cairo dispatches received here that Nasser is not ready for unified Arab military action against Israel at this time. Among the heads of slate at the summit meeting, some of whom were reported today to have already arrived at Cairo, wiH be King Hussein oi Jordan, and King Hassan II of Morocco; Major General Amin El-Hafez, President of the Syrian National Revolutionary Council, whom Nasser has called "a practicing Fascist;" Marshal Abdullah ElSallal, President of the Yemeni Republic, who is supported in his battle against Yemenite royalists by about 40,000 Egyptian troops stationed in his country; President Habib Bourguiba, of Tunisia, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Abboud of Sudan; Fuad Sheab, President of Lebanon; Salam Aref, President of Iraq; Sheik Abd u i l a h el-Salem el-Sabah, Emir of Kuwait; and Crown Prince Hassan Rida, representing his father, King Jdris, of Libya, King Saud of Saudi Arabia will also be represented.

J.C.C. Freshman Basketball Leaque
New York, Jan. C. (JTA)— Israel's achievements were cited today by President Johnson as an example for other newly developed countries where the people "aspire to live in freedom, under peace, enjoying justice as a right and prosperity as a result of their labors." In a message to the closing session of the 50th anniversary convention of the Farbahd-Labor Zionist Order, President Johnson pointed to "what has been done in creating out of wilderness the living State of Israel." The message was addressed to Louis Segal, general secretary of the Farband. The convention closed with an address by Moshe Sharett. former Premier of Isnel and now chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, following the induction of Samuel Bonchek as newly elected president of the Order. Among the major resolutions adopted at the closing session was a strong plea to President Johnson relating to the forthcoming meetings of Arab rulers, convened by President Nasser of Egypt, to decide the measures to be taken against Israel in preventing it from carrying out its plans for the irrigation of its uncultivated areas to make possible the absorption of new hundreds of thousands of Jews from lands of persecution and oppression. The resolution appealed to P r e s i d e n t Johnson "whose friendship for Israel and his sense of justice in the best interest of peace in the Middle East are well known." to warn the Arabs against aggression on their part against Israel. The resolution further voiced t h e hope that the Arab states will recognize that it is in the best interests of their own countries and the peace of the Middle East to enter into direct negotiations with the State of Israel wih a view to achieving peace between Israel and their countries "which will ultimately bring blessing to them, to the State of Israel and to all peoples in the Middle East." In another resolution, the convention voiced its deep sorrow over the plight of Soviet Jewry "which suffers from anti-Semitism and discrimination," The resolution called upon the U.S. Government to prevail upon the Soviet autl orities to a b o l i s h every form of discrimination against Jews, and to punish those guilty of anti-Semitic acts. The resolution also called for ' the granting to the Jews in Soviet Russia the possibility to develop (heir religious and cultural life, s i m i l a r to those granted to other minorities. It also asked that Jews be permitted to emigrate to reunite . with their relatives in Israel and in other lands.

Pope Cables His Thanks to Shazar
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The message of thanks sent by Pops Paul VI to President Shazar of Israel after the Pope's unprecedented pilgrimage was addressed to the- President at Tel Aviv, a clear reminder that the Vatican had not dropped its support for a 1941J United Nations resolution calling for the internationalization of Jerusalem. The Pope expressed appreciation for the facilities he had been given and for the welcome he received from the various Israeli officials he met. Prime Minister Eshkol declared in a statement that the people of Israel had been "deeply impressed by the lofty personality of the Pope and by his emphasis on the • need for peace, reconciliation and friendship." The Israeli press agreed that the visit was an event of great importance for Israel but they questioned the Pope's defense of the late Pope Pius XII who has been accused of failing to speak out against the Nazi genocide of European Jewry. Haarelz, the independent daily newspaper, said that the visit confronted Israel with three tests: organizational, political ami historical, and that the first was passed "with flying colors." Politically speaking, the daily added, the very fact of the visit to a country which the Vatican does not recognize was an achievement of great importance. Commenting on the refusal of Chief Rabbi Yitshak Nissim to attend the welcoming ceremonies for the Pontiff, Haarctz indicated it was possible that the Chief Rabbi acted wisely because the faith of Israel was justified in demanding equal status with every Christian church. Discussing the Pontiff's defense of the late Pope Pius, Haarctz said "his is the opinion of one who is more than mortal and historical research will not be halted because of this." The newspaper Hatzofe, Orthodox daily, asked whether Pope Pius did indeed do all that such a religious leader should have done, even to the point of endangering his position. The organ of the Religious Party added that the Jewish people would not jump to overoptimislic conclusions in connection with the Pope'3 visit. It said there were two practical tests of the ultimate meaning of the visit. One was that the Catholic Church should actively Do your shopping in the Jewish fight anti-Semitism in Catholic countries and the other that Press. it should recognize Israel.
