Israel Denies U.S. On Atom Reactor Jerusalem, Israel (UPD An authorized Israeli source de nied today that Israel misled the United States about the atomic reactor under con struction in the Negev Desert. The source termed "ridicu lous" reports that Israel told the United States the building was that of a textile plant. Premier David Ben-Gurion made the first official admis sion that an atomic reactor was being built in the Negev to the Knesset (parliament) Wednesday. His statement followed reports that Israel was building a reactor to be used to produce atomic bombs with the aid of the French. For Peaceful Usei Ben-Gurion said the re actor, which would be com pleted in three or four years, would be dedicated entirely to research for peaceful use of atomic energy. He said the plant would have a capacity of 24,000 thermali kilowatts when com pleted "which will serve the needs of industry, agriculture, health and science." Israeli Ambassador Avra ham Harman gave excerpts of Ben-Gurion's statement to the Slate Department in Wash ington Wednesday in reply to previous U.S. questions. U.S. officials refused -to say whether they were satisfied with the explanation. Israel's Second Reactor The reactor will be Israel's second. It has a small reactor, with a capacity of about 1,000 kilowatts, built in the Rehovoth area with Ameri can aid. Work on the atomic plant in the Negev, east of Dimona, began 18 months ago with the help of French scientists and technicians. Its estimated cost is $700 million. The source denied that Is rael attempted to keep the construction secret. He said it just was not publicized so as not to arouse the Arab nations.

Eisenhower said in a state ment that the commission was "embarking upon an effort that would have far-reaching and lasting consequences for the railroad industry.

Kennedy will be urged by three senators just back from a tour to Africa to back independence for Al geria lest the Communists ex tend their influence to that country and then to the entire continent. "Africa is still reserving judgment on us and has great expectations of the Kennedy administration," said Sen. Frank Church, (D-Idaho), ex pected to succeed Kennedy as chairman of the African sub committee of the Senate For eign Relations Committee. Church said Africa's final decision on whether to side with the West would be based in part on this country's stand on independence in Algeria and elsewhere. "If we fail them, I'm afraid all Africa will slip away," he said. He termed the French Algerian struggle the "most critical problem" in the turbu lent African continent. "If the war goes on much longer, the likelihood is not only that Russian and Chinese Communists will move in be hind the Algerian rebels, but that their influence will grow markedly in all other African countries." Church declared. Five-Week Tour Church and Sens. Gale Mc- Gee, (D-Wyo.) and Frank E. Moss, (D-Utah), returned Wed nesday from a five-week Afri can Mour that covered 22.500 miles and 16 countries.

Flow of Gold To Other Countries Tops $4 Billion Washington -(UPD- The flow ; of U.S. gold and dollars to other countries, a crucial; problem worrying President Eisenhower and his advisers, climbed to an annual rate of j more than $4 billion during the summer, the government reported today. The Commerce Department estimated the rate for July, August and September at $4, 129,000,000, the highest in a year. The department primarily blamed the flow of "hot mon-ey"-cash shifted from one country to another to take advantage of higher interest rates or for other speculative purposes. Investments Paid Mora During the summer, funds were withdrawn from the United States and sent to Eng land, West Germany and oth er countries in Europe because investments there were paying more. Foreigners who bought U.S. stocks and bonds in the spring sold them in the sum mer and invested their money elsewhere. For the first nine months of the year, the deficit in U.S. international accounts-the ex cess of money spent abroad over money earned abroad hit an annual red Ink rate of $3.2 billion. This made it likely that the 1960 deficit would be about $3.5 billion. Officials Cautiously Hopeful Depending on developments in October, November and De cember, the deficit may rise even higher. But government officials are cautiously hope ful that the outflow of "hot money" has abated because of interest rate reductions In other countries.
