Atomic Reactor Planned fcx Israel

practical and not set up a purely
research nuclear reactor for the
distant future. What the country
needs is the immediate installa-
tion of an engineering reactor for
the immediate future. A small
quantity of uranium-enough to
be contained in could
provide the whole electric power
needs of Israel for full year" He
reiterated his belief that sufficient
uranium could be recovered from
Negev phosphates TO operate such
power-producing reactor.
JERUSALEM, (JTA) = The Is
rael Atomic Energy Commission
is preparing to sign a contract for
the construction of an atomic re-
actor for nuclear research, it was
announced here by Prof. Ernst
Bergman, chairman of the COM
mission, a scientist attached to the
Weizmann Institute. Prof. Berg
mann has achieved notable prog
ress in the development of pro-
cesses for the production of uran-
ium and heavy water.
Israel has been advised to ac-
quire a small electricitY-prcduc-
ing atomic reactor of a type now
being developed in the United
States. The advice came from
Prof. Joseph We'll. dean of the
Engineering College of the Uni
versitY of Florida. He said that
such a reactor is available at a
cost of $2.000.000 and would en-
able Israel TO start practical engi-
neering research at once. He be-
lieves that sufficient uranium
could be recovered from Negev
phosphates to operate such re-
actor in Israel.

u. S. Aid To Continue To Pro-Nazi King Saud

would have become of Europe if Charles Martel
had not beaten back the Saracens but if the latter
imbued with the Germanic spirit and borne along
by Germanic dynamism, had transformed Islam in
their fashion. The Fuehrer described this line
of thought as very remarkable"
The Naz Foreign Ministry reported Hitler
pleased with the envoy. A promise was made for
the delivery of 5000 rifles, 100000 rounds of
ammunition, artillery, and armored cars Also,
struction of a small munitions plant in Saudi
Arabia agreed.
Saudi Arabia was later informed of an outright
gift of 1000 rifles. This arranged by General
Keitel and Admiral Canaris credit of 100000
reichsmark was offered to finance other arms.
The Saudi representative met too, with Nazi
Foreign Minister Won Ribbentrop. The transcript
revealed that Won Ribbentrop told the Arab that
the Nazi attitude toward the Arabs was imbued
with a warm feeling of general sympathy" Won
Ribbentrop said the Germans and Arabs "were
linked by common aims and common foe in the
shape of Jewry."
At that point "Khalid al Hud eagerly confirmed
the Minister'S view and added that his sovereign
had always attached the greatest importance to
entering into relations with Germany doubt
less there would soon be numerous close connec-
tions between Germany and his own country"
Another Nazi diplomatic document made known
that King Saud offered mot only his neutrality,
and possibly even active alliance, but also his
full support for all German undertakings

LONDON. (JTA) = An engi-
neering atomic reactor installed in
Israel wouldIprovide enough cleo
tricitY for the whole country and
do away with the necessity of i'm
porting fuel from abroad. Dean
Joseph We'll of University of Flor
ida declared here. He made his
statement at the annual meeting
of the British Committee for
Technical Development in Israel.
Dean We'll, who just completed
a months visit to Israel as a guest
of the Technion, said that in his
opinion the Israel Government
would do better to install an cleo
tricity- producing reactor imme-
diately rather than construct a re-
actor for nuclear research. Israel
scientists have announced plans
for the signing of a contract for a
research reactor.

The face-to-face talk between
the two statesmen lasted fully five
hours and was interrupted only
for luncheon interval. No other
Israel Cabinet member or official
was in the room where the talk
took place. Nor was there any
member of the United Nations
staff present. 1t is believed that
the entire complex of Arab-Israeli
problems, including the blockade
of the Suez Canal, was touched
upon during the lengthy discus
sion.
Upon his landing at LYDIA air
port. the Secretary General told
reporters that he was glad to have
had the opportunity to visit &C.
neva this summer. This visit. he
said. enabled him to make his
present two-daY trip to Jersualem.
1T is quite natural that with the
close association that I have with
the problems of the area. I appre-
ciate the opportunity to renew my
personal contacts" he declared.
Hammarskjold, who was met at
the airport by Foreign Minister
Myerson, added that this trip is
purely personal. Unlike his visit
in April which, he said, was "a
fire-fighting assignment" he in
tends to utilize this visit to Israel
and Egypt to exchange views with

Egypt's President Col. Nasser.

The envoy was Khalid al Hud. Hitler told him
that the Arabs and Germans had the same enemy:
The Jews. Hitler discussed Palestine and condi-

Khalid al Hud replied that ''the Prophet Mo-

leader, had also been great statesman, and acted
in the same way. He had driven all the Jews out
of Arabia
Later in the conversation, Hitler referred to the

PLAIN TALK.
BY ALFRED SEGAL

oeoOSe~A
an advertisement out of a New
York newspaper: MAGNETIC
MEZUZAH HELPS BRING
GOOD LUCK" Price So.
The advertisement says that by
magnet this mezuzah can be made
to stick to the steel dashboard OF
an automobile or to the steel
frame of a doorway.
THAT" promptly said to my
wife. is exactly what we need in
our car. It says here plainly thai
this magnetic mezuzah brings
good luck"
My wife who has been my con-
slant backseat driver from the
time started to drive, more than
30 years ago, quickly spoke me
down on this :. "What you need
most when you are driving is not
a mezuzah in your car but rather
much better sense than you have
as driver. The way you weave
this way and that on the road,
never sticking to one lane; the
way you hold up traffic by creep
ing along at 25 miles and getting
all other drivers mad at you; the
way you look right and left at the
scenery when you should be keep
ing your eyes on the road. A lot
of good a mezuzah in the car
could do for an impossible driver
like you! AS a columnist you may
have some brains, but as a driver
there's a lot lacking in your
head"
That's what one constantly gets
from ones backseat driver. and
from long experience of it. I've
learned to take il with smile.
One gets no where at all talking
back to his backseat driver. So. as
always before in similar crises. I
made no argument at all in the
matter of the magnetic mezuzah.
Yet I couldn't help thinking far
ther on the possible benefits Of a
mezuzah on my dashboard
Yes, maybe, by grace of a lucky
magnetic mezuzah I might be pro-
tected from all the other damn
fools on the road; like the one
who nearly sideswiped me at the
high speed he was travelling only
the other day; like the ones who
are always trying to blow me out
of their ways with their horns;
like the ones who always look
back at me with baleful glances
when they pass me from the rear,
as if had given mortal offense
by not driving fast enough in
front of them.
With the magnetic mezuzah on
the dashboard il might be happier
for me. The lucky mezuzah. by its
very presence in my car. might
serve solemn warning to the
driver coming toward me from
the rear. dangerously: Look out
there! That's Segal just ahead Of
you and whom you may run into.
He's well protected by me. this
mezuzah. on his dashboard. So
watch yourself! Even if you feel
indifferent about SegaIs fate. you
must respect me the mezuzah."
So meditated thus on the mag
netic mezuzah at considerable

headed by Gen. Burns. The UN
truce chief said that the main pur-
pose of Mr.. Hammarskjold's trip
was to check upon the results of
the cease-fire pledges he obtained
from Israel and the four Arab
states of Egypt. Syria. Lebanon
and Jordan during his Middle
East peace mission last Spring.
Hammarskjold's return coin
cides with an increase in border
clashes between Jordan and Is
rael. Gen. Burns said there had
been more incidents reported in
the past two months than during
any comparable period in several
years.
Earlier. reliable sources here
reported that Hammarskjold was
bringing with him a Soviet pro-
posal for the lessening of Arab
Israel tension.
Although the nature of the Mos
cow offer has not been disclosed,
it is believed here that it goes be-
yond the mere declaration made
by top Soviet leaders Nikolai
Bulganin and Nikita Khrushchev
in London that the Soviet govern
ment is prepared to cooperate
with the United Nations to solve
the Arab-Israel deadlock.
In circles close to the Israel For
eign Ministry. the feeling prevails
that the Soviet plan bears a price
tag. However. the Israel Govern
nent would be prepared to con-
slider it. if il is not unreasonable,
il was indicated. The same sources
also believe that Hammarsljold
will disillusion the rulers of Jor-
dan and Egypt when he presents
them with the Soviet views on the
Arab-Israel issue.
Only after his talks with Ben
Gurion will Hammarskjold en-
bark on official formal talks with
other Israeli and UN officials. He
will proceed to Cairo via Amman
after his talks in Jerusalem are
completed.

II she had taken her fathers
advice. Miss Gertrude Sawyer
might not now hold the dis
.tinction Of being the only
woman reserve "Seabee" officer
and a successful architect in
civilian life.
When she was still a school
girl back in Kansas City, Mo-,
Miss Sawyer told her father
that someday she wanted to
be an architect. Feeling that
architecture was certainly not
a woman's field, he tried to
dissuade her.
Recalling his words in an
interview in her Georgetown
office recently. Miss Sawyer
said her father in his sincere
concern for her choice, told her
mo one would trust a woman
with building a house-the roof
might fall in"
Still Determined
BY the time she reached
college age, she was still de-
termined. So as a compromise,
she agreed on landscape ar
chitecture as her major at the
University of Illinois. where
she got her bachelor of science
degree. A further years study
in town planning at the Har-
ward Graduate School Of
Landscape Architecture only
intensified her desire to be a
full-time architect.
One day in drafting class,
the professor caught her try
ing her hand at drawing
building plans instead Of park
sites, and wryly commented:
VERY interesting, Miss Saw
yer. but quite beside the
point"
It was far from being "be-
side the point" to Miss Saw
yer and a bofnbardment Of let
tiers home pleading for q
chance to achieve her hearts
desire finally won her fathers
consent. She got her masters
degree from the Smith College
Graduate School of Architec-
ture and Landscape Architec-
ture.
There was no further ques-
ton Of her fathers confidence
in her will to succeed when
after her return home she got
q job in an architects Office,
designed and built a house
and sold it-all within the
year.
Came Here in 1923
She came to Washington in
1923. BY 1884, she had estab-
lished her own architectural
practice.
Miss Sawyer is not con-
scious of any discrimination
against women architects. She
recognizes the fact that "peo-
pie who don't want a woman
architect just don't come to
you. But others see the adj
vantage of your being able
to interpret their individual
needs because you are a won1-
an. For example. every woman
has her own way Of doing
Evening star., 1956-03-25

housework or cooking. That's
what makes domestic archi-
lecture so interesting. No two
jobs are alike. You must adapt
a house to the personality Of
its owner"
Probably no greater conf
dence could have been ex-
pressed in Miss Sawyer's abil-
ity than when she was called
to duty by the United States
Navy in World War II to help
them meet q serious housing
crisis.
Shed given up her practice
at the beginning of the war to
go to work In the engineering
department Of Fairchild Air
craft company In Hagerstown,
Md, when she got her sur
prise call to duty.
Housing Crisis
Organization Of the WAVES
and their eventual concentra-
ton in large numbers for duty
here brought on the housing
crisis. There were several men
architects in the Civil En-
gineer Corps, but the public
works officer of the Potomac
River Naval Command thought
women architectural consult
ants could better understand
the needs of the $4,000 WAVES
that had to be housed.
Miss Sawyer heard the call
and gladly volunteered for
duty. She and 1t. Kathleen
F. Lux were the only two
women architects on duty with
the "Seabees" as the Civil En-
gineers Corps was popularity
called. 1t. Lux is no longer in
the reserve, so that leaves Miss
Sawyer, now q lieutenant COM
mander, the only woman
reserve CEC officer.
Most Of Miss Sawyer's work
involved the adapting Of build
ing interiors already planned
and constructed by the Bureau
of Yards and Docks, so they
could become temporary homes
for women.
She exercised ingenuity and
thrift. One lounge was
equipped with stripped ship"
furnishings from the Nor
mandie and USS Manhattan
which had been converted for
troop transport duty. Other
barracks she furnished with
tables and chairs secured from
Government prison industries.
Souvenir Of Service
One of her proud souvenirs
Of Navy service is a letter of
citation from Admiral Ben
Moreel, World War II chief
Of the Bureau Of Yards and
Docks. commencing her for
"the highly efficient manner in
which she performed her du-
ties, economically providing
suitable and pleasing accom-
modations for all concerned"
AS a reserve officer. Miss
Sawyer continues her interest
In naval affairs by attendance
at regular meetings and activ-
tiles. She and 1t. Comdr.
Helen r. Fairbanks, USNR,
Bureau Of Yards and Docks
historian, are the only women
In the unit.
"Of course. we send regrets
when the unit goes on q rife
shoot or amphibious landing
practice" she says, "but we
do look forward to the annual
Operation Repair activity"
The unit spends two days each
year making repairs at near
