A Unique Adventure The news from the Middle Bast — the incredible events taking place in our time — how do we keep abreast of what's going on? . Television coverage, by far, is. the best way to keep track of the daily highlights. And certainly radio broadcasts can fill you in on an hour by hour basis if desired. Your daily newspapers are equipped to provide more complete, coverage by the sheer number of news pages available. The Jewish Press does not compete with the news media for obvious reasons of staff, funding, and other resources. ' We do have one resource, however, that the others do not have. The Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, one of the member newspapers of our American Jewish Press Association, has managed official Israel Government press accreditation for their fine columnist, Dr. Yitchak Ben Gad, to be official pool reporter for the AJPA during the Cairo meetings'. Thus, we can look forward to these special reports — a unique adventure in Jewish American journalism.
Ship Services Direct to Jerusalem Haifa - In 1851, Captain This would be achieved by William Allen of the British widening and deepening the Royal Navy visited Palestine Kishon River from Haifa port, and suggested the digging of a right through the Valley of canal from Acre, through the Jezreel (the Emek) and perEmek, to the Jordan River. mitting the sea waters to flood The Idea was dismissed as the interior of the country. fantastic. Ships would be able to sail In the 1930's Professor Walter Lowdermild suggested a canal and tunnel from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River utllizllng the 1200 foot drop for generation of electricity. A few years ago the Idea was revived, and plans are aleady on the drawing board for a conduit from Ashdod to the Dead Sea. More recently, an Israeli engineer, Shlomo Gur, suggested that the KIshon River, which winds inland from Haifa, be extended BO that the water would run the other way, and drop Into the Jordan River. His plan provoked considerable controversy. And now an American engineer has projected still another idea, breath-taking in Its imaginative scope. William R. Grimes, of Aurora, Colo., has drawn up a plan for transformation of most of the Jordan basin Into a vast inland sea, to Include the Dead Sea.
A Report from Cairo (Continued from Page l). become a positive turning point in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Despite the warm atmosphere, you cannot help but feel some concern — concern not for the physical risk you as an Israeli are taking being in Cairo, but concern that the mutual goodwill and cooperation will not be sufficient to close the wide gap between the Arab and Israeli positions. Where Is the point of compromise between the traditional Arab demand for complete Israeli withdrawal from lands occupied-since June, 1967, and Israel's refusal to accept this demand? How can the gap be closed between the Arabs' insistence upon the establishment of a Palestinian state and Israel's stiff opposition to such a state? What about Jerusalem? Will it be divided once again, as the' Arabs demand, or will it remain united, as the Israelis desire? , All these and other questions occupy your mind. Standing here In Cairo you understand the full meaning of these questions and the implications of their answers. Afterwards, you sense some optimism. You remind yourself that the Middle East is unpredictable and at times even miraculous. After all, who would have expected Sadat to come to Jerusalem? Who could have anticipated him proclaiming before "the world that the Yom Kippur War'was Just? And if these and other unpredictable things have happened, then perhaps even peace Is possi-
ble.
Even the weather here seems to reflect the feeling of concern and optimism. Sometimes It's cloudy and sometimes it's clear. The Egyptian officials, meeting here in the Mena House Hotel, share the belief that President Sadat is a very courageous and determined leader who knows what he wants — and he wants peace. They explain that Sadat did not go to Jerusalem out of weakness, but rather due to his strong conviction that this, is the way to break the deadlock. Judging by the huge demonstrations In Egypt In the last few days, One can see the tremendous support the Egyptian leader enjoys from his people. The Egyptian media is devoting most of its time to explaining Sadat's new policy and how it can only benefit the cause of the Arab world, Including that of the Palestinians. At the same time, the Egyptian media bitterly attacked the Arab rejection front, which is comprised of Syria, Libya, Algeria, South Yemen and the PLO. In a speech at the rally the other day. President Sadat described the leaders of the rejection front as "ignorant and pygmies." He accused them of talking too much and doing nothing. Israelis may not agree with Egyptians about Sadat's real readiness to compromise on the issues of territories and the PLO. However, It is wrong to deny the fact that he Is a very daring man who knows
when, and perhaps more important, how to make decisions and to pursue them. Furthermore, he knows how to surprise his enemies completely and to take advantage of their unpreparedness. When' Anwar Sadat took power in 1970, the common feeling was that this ordinary and non-charismatic leader would not last long. Some speculators gave him a few weeks or months to maintain his rule over Egypt. His opponents Immediately prepared themselves t(> remove him from power. Yet Sadat proved that he was quicker than all his enemies. In May, 1971, with one strike he removed, arrested or exiled all those who opposed him. • As an Israeli in Egypt, it's difficult to adjust to the fact that you have both Egyptian and. Israeli security , men following you everywhere. Security Is extremely tight as a result of the numerous threats to sabotage the conference. As an Israeli, you may think about security problems. However, the development of events Is so rapid, interesting and important that you almost have no time to consider them. You can't help but feel that you are witnessing a turning point In the history of the Middle East. And when events of such great magnitude are unfolding, who has the time to think'about small things. From here in Cairo, I would like to wish our readers shalom and an Arabic "salaam."

linking up further with an interior transportation network. The project would not only give Jordan a seacoast It would so Interlock Jordan and Israel economically and commercially as to assure nonhosUUty between them. Obviously there would be some radical changes. There would no longer be need to let the precious fresh water of the Jordan wastefully run down to the Dead Sea, to keep the latter from drying up. This water would in Its entirety be available for Irrigation purposes. The Sea of Galilee, as the great national reservoir, would be held back by an earth and rock dam, about 6'k miles long. Such a dam would be no less feasible than the huge system of dykes which bold back the seas from the Netherlands, one third of which Is below sea level. The new sea would be about 144 miles long, and from 12 to 14 miles wide. Along Its banks could be a Riviera type resort, with a pleasant year-round climate. Shipping quays could be built at designated spots on both the Israel and Jordan sides of the sea. Some presently populated areas would be brought under water, but they could be moved higher up the slopes, and would In the long run benefit economically from their location on the shores of the sea. The large water area would Improve the climate by increasing humidity and precipitation, reducing evaporation and heat. To replace the flooded areas, new lands would become tillable and habitable. The Canal from Haifa would be about 24 miles long as the bird flies. It would be over 400 feet wide, and would permit two way ship traffic. As an engineering feat it would require less effort than some other man-made waterways. At a later stage, a further canal could be dug from the bottom of the Dead Sea (the Inland Jordan Sea), straight down to EUat and the Red Sea. Grimes maintains that the thick alluvial soil of the Emek would prevent the sea water from permeating, spreading and reaching underground fresh water. Similarly, the Inland Sea would create pressures against the valley walls and check ground water's tendency to drain into the deep drift — very much as oceans everywhere hold back the underground inland fresh water.: . , • It could be maintained that such a project is possible only when there is peace. Grimes Insists that this kind I of project, to mutual advantage, could be a major factor in helping to bring about peace, at least between Israel and the neighbor with which it shares Its longest border, Jordan.

Spain Opens Jewish School TEL AVIV. (JTA) Scphardi Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Is leaving soon for Spain to attend the dedication of the first Jewish school in Madrid, the first such school in Spain since the expulsion of Jews from Spain by the Inquisition in 1492. Israeli religious circles are attaching great significance to
Yosers visit to Spain as it would mean the annulment of the "herem deraban" — the boycott of Spain declared by the rabbis of the Inquisition era. There are some 9000 Jews presently in spam, 3000 of them in Madrid.
