Included are plans for a loan to the UAR by an international consortium, amounting to $200,000,000; ,the sale to the UAR of a vast qiiah-jtity of U.S. agricultural surpluses calculated to involve I -another $100,000,000; and the I furnishing to the Egyptian Gov-jernment of large-scale American technical assistance.
Stern    Senatorial warnings against strengthening the UAR's '^dangerous policy of exterinin-p.ting   Israel"   were ignored. Speaking from the Senate floor, New York Republican, Senator j Kenneth  Keating, spearheaded ithe move to warn the U.S. Gov-1 ernment against suqh broad help ito   Egypt   and   followed his speech with a letter to Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
In his letter, Senator Keating demanded thai the Administration re-evaluate and clarify its i program of aid to. President Nasser. He asked instead, that efforts l3e expended to bring about a final .and lasting peace between Israel and the Arab states.
Mr. Rusk himself has admitted that the U.S.A. 'is considering what role it might play" in helping Egypt's development. He cQnfirm.ed the fact that "extensive talks" have already been held on the subject, thus acknowledging officially that negotiations for a loan to the UAR have, taken, place.

Vancouver Talmud Torah is the only Hebrew day school in fho r.jtv pnri r\<^ c.'^h according to leadins Jewish educators, undoubtedly offers the finest type of education for Jewish children.

Israel's merchant fleet continued to expand, and weighed in at more than one^half million tons, almost all of which represents modern vessels. During his recent trip to Holland, Fin--nce Minister Eshkol placed orders for an additional twelve vessels with Dutch ship-builders.
