Knesset Approves Advance
Reinvestment Of Israel Bonds
Israel, U.S. Sign Accord For U.S.
To Build New Airfield In Negev
By Yitzhak Shargil
TEL AVIV, (JTA)-Israel
and the United States have
signed an agreement for the
United States to build-two
new airfields in the Negev to
replace the two in the Sinai
the Israelis are turning over
to Egypt under the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.
The agreement, which was
signed last Friday by Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and David" McGiffert,
U.S. Assistant Secretary of
Defense for International Security Affairs, calls for the
new airfields to be ready
within three years, before Is-
real is scheduled to evacuate
the Sinai bases at Etzion and
' Etam. Israel also,plans to
build .a third new airfield
near Beersheba. McGiffert,
after holding additional talks
; with Weizman, left for Egypt
j and Jordan.
The U.S., under the agreement, will start construction
in June and will be in charge
of all construction work, including bringing in foreign
labor. -Special   permission
will be required to use Israeli workers for the project
and they must be paid in Is-
1 raeli currency in accordance
- with the salary structure in
; Israel. There were fears ex-
' pressed last week that the Is-
, raeli workers would receive
, $150 a day, about 10 times the
Israeli wage, causing, havoc
1 with theldCall economy. -'
Individuals owning a 1967,
twelve-year old Israel Savings Bond can reinvest-it immediately and obtain full
maturity according to the
passage, of special legislation by the Knesset, Israel's
parliament, the Israel Bond
Organization announced
today.
Arthur H. Joseph' of
Teaneck, N.J. National Re--
investment Chairman, said
that approximately $140 million in Bonds bought in 1967,
the year of the Six-Day War,
will become due in 1979.
Anyone who purchased, a
Bond in 1967 can receive the
full maturity value of. that
Bond immediately—regardless of the maturity date-
provided that it is reinvested
in a Bond of the next higher
denomination.
"This represents the return of the original investment," Joseph said, "and
allows the Bondholder to increase his commitment to Israel at little extra cost."
Joseph said a massive campaign by the Israel Bond Organization ;is - underway to
alert Bondholders- throughout the country, to the advantages of this unique development.
Sam Rothberg of Peoria,
II., General Chairman of the
Bond Organization hailed
the advance reinvestment
arrangement as "a new way
to help Israel begin'meeting
the challenges that lie
ahead. Israel's need for economic support will be even
greater now that there is a
Peace Treaty wi*h Egypt
than it was in previous
periods of crisis," he said.
"Israel will need more Bond
dollars than ever before for
the accelerated development
of the Negev, as well as to
strengthen all phases of its
economic infrastructure. If
we provide Israel with the
- dollars, its people will do the
rest." "
Michael Amon, President
and Chief Executive Officer
of Israel Bonds noted that
"Israel will need the same
show of solidarity in the days
ahead that was demonstrated in 1967. The people of •

cessed for Passover las.
Wednesday, debate was demanded by the labor Alignment and the Shai faction
which obtained more than
the 30 signatures required to
recall it. Shamir ruled, however, (hat the ^debate could
not be held while the matter
is under juridical consideration. This was disputed by
Alignment Whip Dan Roisolio
who argued that the subject
of debate was the unprecedented ruling by the nation's
highest court, not the legal
dispute over construction
now before the courts.
At Monday's Cabinet
meeting, Justice Minister
Shmuel Tamir said "we look
at the high court ruling with
the utmost respect and seriousness and the government
will be the first to reach any
and all conclusions necessitated by the high court's
position." However, he said,
"because the issue is presently before the high .court,
the government has decided
not to discuss it at this time.
Rather, it will wait and dis-
- cuss it in its entirety once the
investigation is completed.'* "
Premier Menachem
Begin, .confined to bed with
flu and temperature, did not
attend the weekly Cabinet
session Monday which was
chaired by Deputy Premier
Yigael Yadin. Begin's doctors ordered him to remain
in bed for the next day or
two.
Background of
Court Action
The Supreme Court issued
its citation last Thursday
when it ordered a lialt to
road-building work on disputed land near the Beer-
sheba-Arab road. The court
acted on behalf of a local
Bedouin, Sulieman Abu
Garen, who complained that
the work was started by a
government agency without
obtaining the required permit from the Beersheba district court. The arrival of
bulldozers and workers on
the site touched off clashes
in which several policemen
were injured and 11 Bedouins arrested, including
Sulieman. They were expected to be released today. •
The work is on a road to
