paper processing machines, now
being assembled at the Bluftton

done here at Bluffton and the
eighth machine of the shipment

The Staude crib at the plant
has taken up more floor space
than was at first anticipated.

entire area used by the main
tenance department will be util-
lied for crib space as more parts
arrive at the plant.
There are said to be some 1,4OO
markets in the United States and
Canada alone for Staude products.

Opposition
Is Voiced To
Alley Vacation

Opposition to the proposed va
cation of an undeveloped and I'M
used alley right-of-way plated
between Jackson street and
Lawn avenue and extending south
from Kibler street, was raised
in Bluffton Council Tuesday eve
ming.
Kenneth Bracy, whose mother,
Mrs. Edith Bracy, owns two lots
on Lawn avenue north of the
alley under discussion, appeared
at the meeting to make a formal
protest against the vacation
ordinance pending before council.
MIR. Bracy said that vacation
of the alley would serve to de-
preciate their property. He said
it would deprive his property of
alleway egress southwardly. If
a garage were built at the rear
of his property. he would have
to go north to Grove street to
get out on the street even when
he wanted to go south.
All of the property owners
abutting on the paper" alley
two weeks ago had petitioned
for vacation of that section of
the alley which had never been
paved or used. The petitioners
are: Mrs. Edna Gratz, Mr.. and
Mrs. Don Patterson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ambert Basinger, Morris
Groman and Miss Margaret Gro
man.
Council gave first reading to
an ordinance providing for vaca-
ton of the alley when the peti-
ton was received, but council
men insisted that the village re-
tain easement rights to use the
ground for extension of power
lines, gas, sewer or water pipes.
When the ordinance was pre-
sented Tuesday evening for its

sales, should continue direct grant
aid to Israel under the special as
sistance program.
Nathan said that, while Israel
has made phenomenal progress"
it is not yet at the "take-off"
point economically to permit ter
mination of grant aid. He pointed
out that Israel is not yet at the
ledge" of self-support. He told the
Committee that Israel faces a
tremendous problem in the reset
tlement of immigrants from East
ern Europe, described ISraePs
needs as larger than previous re-
quirements, and stressed that
grant aid should be continued In
support of Israel's efforts to achieve
self-sufficiency.
MEANWHILE, Rep. Seymour
Halpern, New York Republican,
has protested to the us. Interna-
tional Cooperation Administration
against the severance of grant aid
to Israel and requested an explana-
ton of the Administrators deci-
sion.
Halpern added that he was dis
turbed in attempting to correlate
a cutoff of economic grant assist
ance to Israel with the continuation
of military aid to Saudi Arabia,
particularly at a time when Israel
is beginning to play more OF a role
as a connecting link between the
Atlantic community and the under
developed nations"

DIPLOMATIC NOTES: Who will
be the successor to Abba Eban
when he leaves his post as Israel
ambassador to the United States
next month? Many are asking
this question, but few are in posi-
ton to know the answer In
fact, the answer is not known as
yet even among the highest govern
ment officials in Israel Several
candidates for the Washington
post are mentioned, but it seems
that Yaacov Herzog, present Israel
minister in Washington, has the
best chance
Among the other candidates
mentioned is Reuven Shiloah, who
served in Washington as minister
plenipotentiary, together with Am
basSador Eban, and is now politi-
cal adviser at the Israel Foreign
Ministry Mentioned as candi-
dates are also Abraham Harman
and Toddy Kolek, both well
known in the United States .
Harman, who was Israel consul
general in New York, is now a
member of the Jewish Agency exc
cutive; Kolek is director general of
Premier Ben Gurion's office
AS MATTERS look at present, it
seems that Herzog will remain in
Washington in charge of the en-
bassy, but no ambassador will pro-
badly be officially named until
after the Israel national elections
in November By that time,
Israel will need new ambassadors
also IN England, in Italy and per-
haps in France -.
IsraePs ambassador in London,
Eliahu Eilat-who preceded Eban
as ambassador to Washington-is
definitely leaving his post on Octo-
ber =. He will probably be replac-
ed by Michael Comay, former Is
rael ambassador to Canada
Eban's post as head of the Israeli
delegation at the United Nations
win probably be filled by Joseph
Tekoah, now deputy chairman Of
the delegation :.
