The two American Jewish leaders involved in an American firm prospecting for oil in the Sinai have been identified here as Max Fisher, the Detroit industrialist, and William Levitt, the New York home builder. (The Jewish Telegraphic Agency in New York tried to reach Fisher twice in Detroit for a comment, but he was not available. Levitt’s office said he is out of the country until June.)
