American efforts to negotiate q
River Jordan irrigation agree
|ment among Arabs and Jews
have reached the point Of coll
lapse. it was disclosed today.
This raised the possibility that
Israel. despite Arab opposition.
win act alone in developing the
resources Of the Jordan Valley.
The result would be an increas-
ing danger Of violence in the
Middle East, which already is
jittery over the sale of Commu-
mist arms to Egypt.
The United States had placed
great hopes in the proposed $l2l
million project for the Jordan
River valley. It would involve con-
struction of two dams to provide
|hydroelectric power and irriga-
ton water for Israel and some
of its Arab neighbors.
The American hope was that
the project could contribute so
much to the economic well-being
|of the whole area that Arab
Jewish rivalries could moderate.
Johnston Sought Accord
Eric Johnston, as a special en-
voy Of President Eisenhower. has
been In the Middle East to nego-
|tiate with Arabs and Jews on the
project. Now. however, he is
heading back to Washington
without agreement.
Technically, the talks are
merely interrupted. The Arabs
and Jews. however, are so far
apart on the issues that the .'in-
terruptlon" must be classed as q
severe turn for the worse in the
whole Middle East situation.
The Israeli government has
stated that 1t could not be ex-
pected to wait much longer for
the Arabs to approve the Jordan
valley project. II is known that
Israel could. In q period Of only
two weeks. divert into its own
territories waters that now noir-
ish the arid soil Of Jordan.
The Jordan valley project, as
contemplated by the United
States, would benefit Israel,
Egypt. Jordan. Syria and Leb-
anon.
From the start, Mr.. Johnston
has been hampered by Arab re-
fusal in priniple to cooperate
with Israel. In addition, there
have been rivalries among the
Arabs.

Easier Credit

BY the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Press
Federal money managers were
reported today to be busy re-
examining their housing credit
policies. with an eye on declining
housing starts.
An official estimate Of housing
starts for September due this
week end, but is was reported
|earlied' that new residential
starts have fallen below the rate
|of q year before.

ported. will be estimated in the

nual rate in December, 1854.

oficials Of the National AS.
ISOLATION Of Home Builders and
of the United States Savings
and Loan League discussed the
situation at a meeting here last
week. They said then that anti
infiationary steps by the Govern
ment to slow credit expansion
may bring a cut in home building
next spring and summer.
Treasury officials met this
week with representatives OF the
home builders and mortgage
lenders. and heard their pleas
for q looser rein on housing
credit. These conferences pro-
|duced q promise that the entire
home credit situation would get
Ia new and thorough study.
Easier Terms Likely
Meanwhile, Norman Strunk,
executive vice president of the
Savings and Loan League. said
in a st. Louis speech this week
that the Federal Government
had apparently achieved its OBJ
jectiye Of squeezing infiationary
pressures out Of the home build
ing industry. and might soon
ease up on credit.
The Federal Home Loan Bank
board acted last week to relieve
some Of the pressure it put on
savings and loan associations.
In an order Of September IA. it
forbade its regional banks to
give further credit to member
associations. This meant the as
sociations had to restrict their
lending to funds gained by them
in their day-to-day operations.
