Since then, however, the Bank
has reverted to it's original pur-
pose of granting what they call
specific project loans. Since the
establishment of the international
Bank the Export-Import Bank
has tried to confine itself to short

caused some delay to date, Bank
officials explain, since the lsraell

broadly to fit such applications
A variation was worked out on
the specific project type loan

An Israeli government ship
will sail direct from New Or
leans to Haifa with the rice. It is
hoped that the shipment can
leave on Dec 30.
B'nai Birth officials here ex-
planned that not a penny was
spent for overhead in collecting
this gift. Individual members of
the District, which includes Tex
as, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and
Alabama, contributed the rice in
100 pound sacks, each valued at
$3.50, and District officers hand
led all administrative details.
David H. White, of Houston,
District president, headed the &C
tivity; Harry Nowalsky, of this
city, District vice president, was
transportation officer; and Simon
Pallet, of New Orleans, handled
all warehouse details. The state

field agents in their respective
states, and District secretary

The drive was part of B'nai
Births national Aid to the Peo-
pie of Israel campaign. Supreme
Lodge headquarters in Washing
ton obtained clearance for the
project with the International
Emergency Food Council, the
proper U. S. Government agen-
cies, and the Israeli Mission.
Typical of the enthusiasm the
project aroused was the action
taken by the lodge in Muskogee,
Okla, whose 40 members contri-
buted rice valued at SIPS. The
rice contributed by 80 members
of the lodge in Meridian, Miss,
was valued at $500; by the 35
members in Tupelo, at $789.
At the beginning of the drive,
the District informed all it's
lodges that "B'nai Birth is not
in conflict with any other organ
ization because no appeal is made

ity at all times. Aid to Israel
is for the people of Israel who

raeli Governments application for
a loan from the ExpOrt-ImpOrt
Rank. is question frequently
raised these days. A status re-
mort would go something like this:
The Israeli Governments appli-
cation is now being worked over
nv technical experts Of the Bank.
A board of these technical ex-
perts, including an economist,
LAWYER, a couple Of bank exam
liners. have in their hands the in
formation furnished them by the
israeli Government on specific
projects in Israel for which Ex-
ort-Import Bank credit would be
used.
Bank officials, however, will
make no guess as to how long it
will take for the Israeli Govern
ment's application to work its
way up through the fine-toOth
cOmbing process. They frankly adj
init that they do not know how
many days, weeks or months it
will be before the Board of Gov
errors announces its final decision.
Presumably, the decision will
not come before a number Of i'm
portant questions have been re-
solved in the minds of the Banks
Board of Governors.
Bank officials apply two rules
Of thumb to any loan application
that comes before them. First of
all, will this loan improve the ap-
plicant cOuntry's foreign exchange
position so as to make an import
ant contribution to world trade?
Secondly, can we expect treason
able assurance of repayment ?"
In addition to these considera-
tons it may take time for Bank
officials to work out questions in
their own minds about Israeps
political and economic future, a.
bout the type of loan most ap-
propriate for Israel, and about what
relationship the fact that Israel
is a sterling bloc country should
pear to the whole picture.
You can be sure that the Bank
mas been closely watching politi-
cal developments at the u. N.
with regard to Israel in conjunc-
ZION with consideration of the loan.
You can also be sure that Bank
officials are carefully turning over
IN their minds questions involving
lSraePs borders, for example, and
ner future position in world trade
70 see how they might affect the
future stability of the country.
The next large question being
considered by Bank officials is the
question of what type of loan to
eAlend to the Israeli Government.

A proposal that American universi- ties confer honorary degrees upon leaders of organized labor was made here today by Nathan Sherman, editor of the AFL's Union Times.
 The proposal was made in re- commendation that the American Federation of Teachers. an AFL affiliate, include the plan in its na- tional program. In letter to JO- seph F. Landis, president of the American Federation of Teachers, whose headquarters are in Chicago, Sherman said:
 Many American universities have established labor-management centerS which are doing valuable work in the field of research designed to improve industrial relations. Yale and Cornell are outstanding examples.
 Other institutions have inaugurated courses deading with the history of organized labor, and a number sponsor labor institutes.
 ''It would seem that the time has come when our universities and col leges should recognize the cOntribu- tiOns made to our civic and indus trial welfare by members of organ ized labor. One way would be to confer honorary degrees upon them. Leaders of industry and com merce have won this deserved re- cOgnition, and it would seem that the same should apply to labor.
 ''The American Federation of Labor has number of men who are making important contributions to the welfare of our country. Among them are President William Green; Boris Shiskin, research di- rector for the ALL, who is an out standing economist; and Nelson Cruikshank, director of social in- surance activities for the A.FL. The list of names could be extended.
 q propose that the American Fed eration of Teachers include in its pro- gram a recommendation to our Ameri- can universities and colleges that members of organized labor be given consideration when recipients of hon. orary degrees are being selected"
