JERXJSAUEM, CJTA) — No | threat of any kind will influence Israel to slow down work on the Jordan River irrigation project which Is vital to Israel's develop¬ ment and whicli will bo complet¬ ed as quickly as technical con¬ siderations permit, Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, declared in Parliament.
She made the statement in re¬ ply to several questions and sug¬ gestions made by Knesset depu¬ ties during- dabate on her Mini¬ stry's budget. She rejected a pro¬ posal by Herut deputy Aryeh ben Ellezer that Israel should "get tough" with Ghana and base its relations with African states on a "quid pro" approach. She said that what Israel waa doing in Africa was more than 'policy," that it was a continuation of the traditions   of  the   Jewish   peopie.
ASKING WHETHER Israel should m£ike the sending of doc¬ tors to fight malaria or trachoma contingent on the way African states vote in the United Nations, she asserted that such an ap¬ proach would be a failure of Is¬

However, she pointed out, the Soviet's hostile attltute and re¬ fusal to maintain even commer- eial relations was not attributable to Israel's votes in the United Nations. Other countries which do not vote with the Soviets do not suffer the same treatment, she said.
Earlier in the debate, Mrs. Meir called speculation about Israel's relations with the United States baseless. She said she had no doubt that the basic relations be¬ tween Israel and the United States would continue to rest as in previous years on "firm foun¬ dations ot friendship" and friend¬ ly discussion on all matters of common   interest.
SHE ISAID IT was only natural that the new administration should intensify its study of the international problems It faced. Conceding there were differences on some matters, she pointed out that   in   any   appraisal   of   the

He was asked if the police had reached the conclusion that the conditions which the Jews were protesting did in fact exist. He replied; "I have not the slightest doubt about that since the girl has the marks of It on her. What needs determining is In what manner this mark was made." Under further questioning, he said that the police had not come to any conclusions as to the per¬ sons responsible for the attack on Miss Sirota,.
