ISTANBUL, ( J T A ) — The
first Turkish trade delegation
ever to visit Israel will arrive in
Jerusalem early next month for
talks with Israel officials con-
cerning the renewal of a trade
agreement between the two
countries during 1962.
It is understood that Israel
will suggest a 30 percent increase
over last year's trade volume
which totaled $18,000,000.
The 1961 total, which about
equaled that for 1960, repre-
sented about 70 percent of the
value of goods specified in a
trade protocol signed last_ year

Jewish Groups Protest
Plans to Eliminate
Burials on Sundays
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Plans
of cemeteries in the Greater New
York area to curtail or eliminate
weekend burials evoked vigorous
protests from Jewish religious
groups.
They pointed out that Jewish
burials are frequently made on
Sundays because of the religious
ban on burials on the Sabbath.
The proposed move stemmed
from a labor contract clause
which became effective on Jan.
1. It calls for overtime pay for,
cemetery workers for Saturday
and Sunday work. Cemetery offi-
cials indicated they would simply
halt work on weekends, rather
than pay overtime, although
some indicated they would ask
the Cemetery Board to approve
overtime pay.
Among the protesting organiza-
tions were the New York Board
of Rabbis, the Rabbinical Coun-
cil of America, the Agudath
Israel of America and the
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the
United States and Canada.
Rabbi Charles Weinberg, presi-
dent of the Rabbinical Council
of America, expressed the hope
that "with good will on both
sides, it will be possible to con-
tinue to have funerals on Sun-
day as in the past." He. urged
cemetery managers and labor
unions "to resolve their dif-
fereribes without violating the
religious principles of the largest
Jewish community of the world."
Physics Teaching Aid
Developed at Technion
An instrument for the meas-
urement of the heat of vaporiza-
tion of water, for use in physics
laboratories of high schools,
colleges and universities, has
been developed by two mem-
bers of the academic staff of
the department of physics at
the Technion, Israel Institute of
Technology at Haifa, and is now
in_ production - at the Brandeis
Center of Vocational Training
in Jerusalem.
According to Associate Pro-
fessor H. Lindeman and A.
Lavie, who hold the Israeli
patents, teachers until now have
had to be satisfied with a 10
per cent error in laboratory ex-
periments to measure the heat
of water vaporization, because
of the fact that by older meth-
ods condensed steam always
found its way to the calorimeter
which measures the heat. The
new instrument overcomes this
difficulty.
A prototype of the production
model has been in use at the
Einstein Institute of Physics at
the Technion for the past two
years.
