Arab Summit Conf^nce Will Discuss Diversion Of Jordan
JETRUSALEM (JTA)—Israel's Cabinet discussed, at its regular weekly meeting, the developments surrounding Israel's project for drawing waters from the Jordan River and Lake Tiberias to the Negev, in the light of the summit conference of Arab heads of state convening in Cairo. Mrs. Golda Meir, the Foreign Minister, reported to the Cabinet about steps taken by the Government to counteract the Arab propaganda campaign aimed at distorting the nature of
Israel's water project
While political quarters discount threats against Israel, and view the Cairo summit parley as moti¬ vated chiefly by Arab maneuver¬ ing for leadership of the Arab bloc, it is feared nevertheless that the situation may endanger the peace of the Middle East.
No details of the "measures" re- portedby Mrs. Meir were disclosed following her report to the Cabinet. It wa.<- assumed, however, that Is¬ rael is in contact with other gov¬ ernments, restating its position re¬ garding the water project, and em¬ phasizing that the development is purely an internal matter, calling for no interference on the part of outside powers or intemational bodies.
The summit conference of Arab kings and presidents, convoked by Egyptian President Nasser, opens with plans prepared by a technical committee of the Arab League to divert the water of the Jordan River in Such a way as to prevent Israel from bringing Jordan River water to the Negev through Lake Tiberias. Thirteen Arab countries are par¬ ticipating in the parley.
The plans to be laid before the heads of the Arab states will pro¬ pose a three-pronged construction project involving: 1. Building two storage dams in Jordan to take the waters of the Yarmuk River, which is the chief tributary of the Jordan River; 2. Building a stor¬ age dam in Lebanon, containing the waters of another Jordan River tributary, the Hasbani River; 3. Building of canals in Syria east¬ ward and^vestward of a third Jor¬ dan River tributary, the Baniyas River.
Through these projects, the prin¬ cipal tributaries of the Jordan Riv¬ er would be diverted into vast stor¬ age and irrigation developments in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. At the

IN FhANKFURT, Dr. Josef Mengele, the notorious physician at the Auschwitz annihilation camp, who Is miss¬ ing from the 22 Nazis now on trial here as leading members of the personnel of the Auschwitz death camp, filed a for¬ mal appeal this weekend against the' cancelation of his medi¬ cal degree in 19C1 by the Frankfurt University.
The "selection doctor," as Dr, Mengele was l^nown .among the camp inmates for picking victims for the gas ovens, filed his appeal with the state authorities through a South American lawyer. He did not indicate his where¬ abouts, but he was last reported hiding in Angentina. He named his wife as his representative. West German authori¬ ties have been unsuccessful in efforts to find him for extra¬ dition.
'TEL AVIV, the Zim Navigation Company disclosed to¬ day it would not implement the agreement it signed last year with the Associated Legislative Rabbinate of America for supervision of kosher arrangements on Its new liner, the Shalom.
The disclosure by Zim- was seen as indicating that it might lead to renewed negotiations between the ship com¬ pany and the Israeli rabbinate to resolve the dispute over the double kitchens, one kosher and one non-kosher, which has touched-off a worldwide Jewish controversy.
IN JEKUS.'UjKM, President Johnson has assured Israel of continued United States support and friendship in 'the letter delij^ered this week to Premier Levi Eshkol by United States Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver.
Premier Eshkol and Mr. Shriver discussed plans fgr closer cooperation between the Peace Corps and Israel's overseas technical assistance program. It was assumed that the two officials also discussed Israel's national irrigation projects.
IN NKW YORK, Rabbi Morris Adler, attempts to an¬ swer the fiufistion "What Is a Jew?" in the current Issue of Harper's Magazine. Rabbi Adler states that "Jews are only frustrating themselves by trying to solve the answer to their dilemma: Is Jewry a religion, a nation, or a cultiu'e?"
same time, the Jordan River inside Israel, which flows into Israel's Lake Tiberias, would be left with a mere trickle of vjater. According to Arab figures, about 77 per cent of the Jordan River water sources
would thus be trapped on the Arlb side.
Although Egypt is not touched either by the Jordan River or by any of that waterway's tributaries, the Egyptian Government is a member of the technical commit¬ tee which finalized these plans. The other members of the committee are representatives, of the three Arab stales containihg,4he^ Jafdan River headwaters and the river's more important tributaries — Syria,
