An Israeli commercial mission here will probably purchase within the next few days a $1,000,000 supply of sugar, it was reported today. The order would cover the needs of the Jewish state for a six-week period. The mission is also interested in buying potatoes, dextrins, starches and other foodstuffs.
Another mission is expected to arrive here within a few days to negotiate an exchange of products between Czechoslovakia and Israel. It is planned to ship fruits, juices and Jellies from Israel to this country in exchange for china, pottery and lumber.
(A cable from Tel Aviv said today that the Israeli mission in Prague has acquired a considerable quantity of sugar and is beginning negotiations to pave the way for future barter exchanges.)
