The Mayor of Buenos Aires signed a decree today authorizing the Israel exhibition at the forthcoming international trade fair here to use municipal facilities and property on the fair grounds at only a token rental. They keys to the Israeli pavilion were handed to Moshe Yehuda, commercial attache of the Israel Embassy, by Vazquez Yona, municipal engineer, on behalf of Mayor Manuel Iricibar. The Argentine Government meanwhile freed Israel from paying import dues and customs duties on merchandise up to a half million dollars in value which it will bring to the fair. The fair opens in October.
