as engineering manpower permits.
The Board has agreed to an ex-
tension of present permits if it
should not be possible to make
some of the Investigations before
permits expire" DR.. Porterfield
said.
THE majority of villages in
volved are under 1S-month per-
mits which do not expire until
some time in the first quarter
of 1854. The conditions of their
permits were merely that they
have survey made of their sew
age needs and a general outline
plan prepared for meeting these
needs. Such a plan is of long
range value and will not run out
Of date. Such a plan would be
of value even to a village not
required to proceed farther at
this time.

majority were found to be caus-

ly in need Of sewage treatment.
These already have been inform
ed of the results of the investiga-
ton and advised to proceed with
plans for sewage treatment plants.
There were two where no
signs of pollution were found.
1t will be recommended til a t
these be exempted from permit

dozen others where pollution is
so slight that it can be consider
ed at the worst as merely a To-

not bothering their downstream

ed that they be continued under

quired to take any steps toward

AT the next meeting of the

November II, action will be con-

of sewage discharge permits of
some of these villages and even
to exempt some from the per-

This is not a new policy of the

by the Board when the permit

He pointed out that 3O1 VIII

These are villages which do not
have a public water supply or
sewers. Total population of these
3O1 villages is only 114,0O0.
Another "a villages, which have
public water service but no sew

of the program when investiga-

The Council of States at New

addressed to. it by the government
of Israel:
ITO the people of Israel who
have suffered so much from racial
discrimination there is no charge
that comes with greater irony
than that they themselves have
erected in their own land a bar
against fellow men based on the
ground of color"
This was a reputation of an

Israel was denying citizenship to

No Color Line in Israel

| the Jews of India because of their
color. At that time it was indi-
Gated that 1895 Jews had left
India for Israel since 1913 and
that of last December 343 of them
had returned to India. In the
Council of States. the upper house
of the Italian parliament, the Sec
rotary to Prime Minister Jawaha-
rial Nehru, Mrs. Lakshmi Menon,
accused Israel of forcing the In
dian Jews to return to their for
mer homes because of the color
line.
Israel's declaration resulted in
an expression of regret over the
misunderstanding by A. K. Chan
da, midas Deputy Minister for
External Affairs.
This interesting in d e t
throws light on the entire color
line problem in Israel. While in
dividuals anywhere can not be
controlled in their prejudices, it
is nevertheless true that officially
Israel does not and could not
