President Johnson paid trib-
ute to the genius of the late
Dr. Chaim Weizmann. He de-
clared:

"We believe the most plaus-
ible solution to war is simply
for each nation to leave its
neighbors in peace.

"This would free us all to at-
tack the implacable enemies of
mankind, who for centuries have
warred on man and his hope—
poverty and ignorance, misery
and disease. If we destroy them,
we destroy the roots of war.

"Science, and the Chaim
Weizmanns all over the globe,
are in the front line of this
army fighting in a n ' s ageless
foes.

"So, tonight, as I speak to you
with affection and share with
you pride in Israel's achieve-
ments, I speak the warm senti-
ments uttered by every Amer-
ican president since Harry Tru-
man.

"And in the desires and hopes

of these presidents, I say to you

and to the world that I would
not underestimate the complex-
ity of all the age old Middle
East rivalries and hostilities.

"But the basic hope of the
United States for this area is
not so complex and not so dif-
ferent from that of all mankind.
"It is inscribed in the ancient
writ of the prophets and on the
modern buildings of the United
Nations.
"It is simply a desire for the
day when "Nation shall not lift
up sword against nation . . .
nor shall they learn war any
more."
"That is our prayer and our
prophecy.
"And in that spirit — the
spirit of the Weizmann Institute
— and with faith in the God
who blesses us all, we face the
future with hope, with confi-
dence and with conviction."
More than 1,'700 guests, in-
cluding some of the nation's
leading figures in industry,
science and communal affairs,
including 11 Nobel Laureates,

A scientific committee head-
ed by Lord Rothschild will ad-
vise on the annual selection of
applicants.
A cable from Israel's Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol, addressed
to Feinberg, conveyed "warm-
est personal greetings to Presi-
dent Johnson and Mrs. John-
son." Eshkol's message stated
that "the people and govern-
ment of I s r a e 1, through a
memorial committee under the
honorary chairmanship of Is-
raeli President Zalman Shazar,
will contribute $1 million to-
ward the endowment of the 46
annual fellowships, a Living
Memorial to John Fitzgerald
Kennedy whose great contribu-
tions to world peace will be
remembered by the Israeli
nation."
A cabled message from Mrs.
Vera Weizmann, widow of Dr.
Chaim Weizmann, founder of
the Weizmann Institute and

first president of the State

of Israel, saluted President
J o h n s o n and the dinner
guests.
In a letter addressed to Is-
rael's President Shazar (and re-
layed to the New York office of
the Weizmann Institute) Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy said she
was deeply moved by the re-
spect and admiration which the
people of Israel evidenced to-
ward her husband. She ex-
pressed special satisfaction with
the creation of the John F.
Kennedy Fellowships at the
Weizmann Institute.
The many internationally fa-

mous scientists at the dinner
included these Nobel Prize
winners: Prof. John Bardeen,
Prof. Andre Cournand, Dr.
Philip S. Hench, Dr. Robert
Hofstadter, Dr. Edward C. Ken-
dall, Dr. P. Kusch, Dr. Rudolf
L. Mossbauer, Prof. I. I. Rabi,
Prof. Emilio Segre, Prof. Ed-
ward L. Tatum and Dr. James
Watson.
Louis Berry of Detroit was
among those listed to be seated
on the dais with President
Johnson.
U.S. Awards Grant
to Weizmann Institute
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—U.S.
Department of Agriculture an-
nounced the award of two re-
search grants to Israel institu-
tions for the conduct of studies
of interest to American agri-
culture.
A grant of $ 6 5., 1 8 5 was
awarded to the Weizmann Insti-
tute of Science in Rehovot for
a four-year study to determine
what makes a plant male or
female and what environmental
conditions and chemical treat-
ments can so change a plant or
keep it from developing into
male or female. Cucumber and
melon plants will be used in
this research aimed at obtaining

information necessary for de-
veloping new hybrid crops.
A grant of $ 1 9, 0 0 0 was
awarded to the Central Bureau
of Statistics of the Israel Gov-
ernment to study and evaluate
methods of compiling agricul-
tural statistics in Israel. The
United States needs adequate
data on agricultural production,
price, consumption and income
in foreign countries to analyze
their agricultural production
trends and appraise the market
potential for U.S. farm produce.
The Department of Agricul-
ture, in awarding the grants,
pointed out that the results of
this research will enable the
U.S. to estimate more accur-
ately future agricultural produc-

tion not only in Israel but also
in o t h e r rapidly developing
countries. Both grants will be
paid in Israel currency, from
funds accumulated from the
sales of U.S. surplus farm
products.

attended the dinner.

The dinner, at the Waldorf
Astoria, had originally been
scheduled for Dec. 5, with the
late President Kennedy as the
guest speaker, but was post-
poned until after the period
of national mourning. Wishing
to honor Mr. Kennedy's com-
mitments and to manifest his
own interest in the scientific
achievements of the Weizmann
Institute, President Johnson ac
cepted the invitation to address
the gathering.
Abraham Feinberg, chairman
of the Board of Kayser Roth,
president of the American Com-
mittee for the Weizmann Insti-
tute and dinner chairman, in-
troduced President Johnson to
the celebrity-studded audience.
The dinner was highlighted
by the official announcement of
the creation of a "Living Me-
morial" to the late President
Kennedy and the posthumous
presentation of an honorary
fellowship on behalf of the late
president from Dewey D. Stone,
Boston industrialist and phil-
anthropist and chairman of the
board of governors of the Weiz-
mann Institute.
The "Living Memorial" will
be in the form of 46 John
F. Kennedy Fellowships — one
for each year of Mr. Kennedy's
life — which will be awarded
annually to qualified scientists
from all over the world who
wish to engage in research and

study at the Weizmann Institute.
