, Corpus Christi: Is there any
rule for using direct" and
directly" as adverbs?--B. D.
Answer: The words are inter-
changeable in the meaning OF
"in a straight way or route" as,
to 60 direct Tor Directly to Los
Angeles.
However. directly. in American
usage, more strongly suggests
"in a little while" as. "Just a
minute. please; I'll be with you
directly" Therefore. 1t is per-
haps desirable to observe this
distinction:
Direct: In q straight way or
route.
Directly: Immediately; in a
little while; shortly.
! Examples: ! shall 60 direct to
Los Angeles. Ship the goods by
the most direct route. Write me
direct.
\ They should be here directly

Pushes Elections

HONG KONG, June 8 R.-
Communist North Wet Nam has
asked Britain and Russia to take
necessary measures, to set up
q meeting with South Wet Nam
to arrange elections to. unity the
two Indo-China states.
The request was made in a
letter from Premier Foreign
Minister Pham Van Dong dated
June 4. The North Wet Nam
radio broadcast the contents of
the letter today.
IF South Wet Nam authori-
ties continue to reject the hold
ing of consultations and general
elections" the letter said. the
Communist Wet Mimi will ask
Britain and Russia to call new
Geneva conference to discuss i'm
fermentation of the armistice
agreement.
Britain and the Soviet Union
served as co-chairmen of the
1854 Geneva conference which
produced the Indo Chinese
cease-f1re pactS. The armistice
calls for unification elections in
Wet Nam by July.
South Wet Nam President Ngo
Dinh Diem has refused to meet
with the Communists to discuss
elections on the grounds that
South Wet Nam did not sign the
armistice. Britain in April said
that because of this, South Wet
Nam is mot legally obliged to
join in North-South elections"

Eyes on Israel

Oil developments in Israel are
being carefully observed in Wash
ington !. U. S. oil experts, eval-
uating Israel's oil potential, are
of the opinion that each of Israel's
geological provinces have oil pos
sibilities, but they differ in char
acter and degree . The oil pos
sibilities of two provinces are
obscure, of two are fair to good,
and of four considered good :.
Of the eight companies which are
now prospecting for oil in Israel,
six were formed in America and
two in Israel However, the
latter also may have many Amer
lean shareholders They are
Lapidoth Israel Petroleum Co.
and Israel Oil Prospectors Corp.
The American-Israel Petrol
cum Corp. of New York, which is
a subsidiary of Ampal, has a 81
percent interest in Lapidot 4.
Israel Oil Prospectors is owned by
Israeli investors and an American
financial group from Miami It
is these two companies operating
jointly that discovered the first oil
wells at Heletz, six miles north
east of GAIA Neither COM
pany's shares are sold on ex-
changes in the United States
The Council of Jewish Fedora
tons and Welfare Funds, which
also made an analysis of Israel's
oil possibilities, came to the con-
clusion that there is no reason to
assume that the oil strike in
Heletz will affect directly to any
major degree the financing pro-
grams of the Jewish Agency and
of any other welfare agencies
supported by contributions from
American Jewry This is be-
cause the quantity of oil discov-
cred up till now does not consti-
tute a revolutionary gain in the
direction of self-support -. It is,
however, in the opinion of CJFWF,
a significant step forward in the
gradual emancipation of Israel
from dependence on outside aid.
Next to the exports of citrus, Is
sraers premiere foreign currency
Garner, it may make the largest
single contribution toward reduc-
ing Israel's foreign currency def
icit, the CJFWF believes Ex-
perts estimate that the Heletz Oil
field can eventually support be-
tween 80 and so wells, supplying
up to so percent of Israeps oil
requirements . And this would
result in a net foreign currency
saving of $15,OOO,00O.
