The management of the Dead Sea Works, against which the Kaiser Contracting Company, of the United States, had threatened a $25, 000, 000 suit, ordered the American firm today to evacuate its personnel from the area where the project is located. The demand was made in a letter to the Kaiser representative in the Negev area.
Meanwhile, the director of the Dead Sea Works flew to Europe today, reportedly for the purpose of negotiating with British and French firms which are interested in the Dead Sea project.
