Israel Will Not Hold Up Jordan Project
Washington, Feb. 17.
Israeli Embassy sources today denied recent American press reports that Israel had decided to postpone for several weeks the resumption of work on its project to divert the water of the Jordan River.
These sources said that Isrueli authorities had merely indicated that they were ready to postpone the project should Mr Eric John- Eisenhower's ston President personal envoy to
the Middle East, return to the region.
Mr Johnston would be ex- pected to try again to effect an on-the-spot settlement on the division of the Jordan's waters between Isruel, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
