The Kaiser Engineering Company, which withdrew recently from a contract to build dikes at the Dead Sea, warned the Dead Sea Works today that it would oppose by all legal means any attempt by the Dead Sea Works to expel Kaiser workers from the works site in Sdom or to seize $15, 000, 000 worth of Kaiser equipment there.
The American firm withdrew on grounds that some specifications for its contract with the Dead Sea Works were technically impossible. Both companies have made threats of damage suits. In its warning Tuesday, Kaiser said it would hold the Dead Sea Works “liable and responsible for all costs, losses, expenses and damage incurred and suffered by us already and which may be incurred in the future by your actions.”
