Weizmann Institute Forced to Cut Costs in Next 2 Years .

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Dr. Dewey
Stone, chairman of the board of
governors of the Weizmann Insti-
tute of Science in Rehovot, said
the institution would have to fol-
low a policy of financial retrench-
ment during the next two years
after three years of deficit financ-
ing.
Dr. Stone said that the Insti-
tute's board, which ended a three-
day meeting last weekend, had de-
cided to defer plans for the setting
up of an endowment fund until
this could be done on a firm finan-
cial basis.
Noting that the past year had
seen a period of rapid develop-
ment at the Institute in which
the cost of the program had been
greater than anticipated, Dr.
Stone said that the Institute
would be asked to cut down on
expenditures during the next two
years.
(A residential section for sci-
entists on the campus of the Insti-
tute was launched Wednesady with
the laying of the cornerstone of
the first building in the section.
The building will be named in
honor of Erwin Weiner of Chicago.
(The Institute also announced the
election of five new members of
its board of governors. They are
Prof. Arthur J. Kornberg of Stan-
ford University, the sixth Nobel
Prize winner on the board; Ezer
Weizmann, commander of t h e
Israel Air Force; Dr. Albert Sabin,
deveolper of the live vaccine for
polio; Louis Boyar of Los Angeles;
and Stephen Stulman of New
York.)
- Dr. Stone said that, under pres-
ent inflationary conditions and in
view of the heavy demands made
by other Israeli causes on the gen-
erosity of diaspora Jewry, an en-
dowment fund would have little
chance of success today. He said
that during the next two years, it
was hoped to strengthen the insti-
tution's fund-raising machinery in
Israel and the diaspora with a view
towards again increasing the Insti-
tute's budget.

"The current enrollment of
3,640 undergraduates and nearly
1,200 graduate students must
double in size by 1970, if the
Technion is to fully meet its re-
sponsibilities to the development
of Israel," Goldberg told the
guests.
He said plans now being com-
pleted after many months of prep-
aration call for the enlargement of
existing classrooms and laborato-
ries, the addition of new buildings,
including dormitories and the ac-
quisition of an additional 300 acres
of campus land.
Goldberg emphasized that the
Israel government has agreed to
donate one-fourth of the "many
millions of dollars that will be
required" to enlarge the Institute's
facilities. The balance, he said,
will be sought among the "legion
of friends and benefactors of the
Technion throughout the world,
particularly in the United States."

And at Tel Aviv U .. .

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Tel Aviv
University has received a grant of
95,000,000 pounds ($31,666,666)
from the Israel government for the
implementation of a four-year
building program, it was an-
nounced by Dr. George Wise, presi-
dent of the university.
The program will include con-
struction of a dozen buildings, in-
cluding a central library, an edu-
cation building to be named after
the late Moshe Sharett, a school
of business administration, a
medical school, dormitories for
students and structures for several
other academic departments.
Dr. Wise made his announce-
ment as the university opened
its new academic year with an
enrollment of 5,000 students.
According to Benzion Katz, rec-
tor of the institution, this year's
enrollment has doubled the uni-
versity's previous student popu-
lation.
One reason for the sudden
growth, he said, is the fact that

and other programs."
This was made public by Alex-
ander Goldberg, the new president
of the Technion, addressing the
eighth annual Conference on Sci-

Hias Discusses Impact
of Immigration Law

GENEVA (JTA) — The Euro-
pean field directors of United Hias
Service completed two days of
workshop discussions here on the
impact of the new U.S. immigra-
tion law on the agency's program.
Ben Touster, chairman of the board
of the world-wide migration
agency, presided.
James P. Rice, United Hias Serv-
ice • executive director, reported
that "the new law would in all
likelihood bring about a 25 per
cent increase in Hias assisted
movements to the U.S. commenc-
ing in 1966." He said that after
the three-year transition period
ending in June 1968, it is possible
that Jewish immigration into the
U.S. will increase even more sub-
stantially.

PENN

Tel Aviv University has now in-
corporated social science students
previously enrolled at the Tel Aviv
branch of the Hebrew University.
The cornerstone was placed
Wednesday for the Moshe Sharett
Building for the Science of Educa-
tion at Tel Aviv University in a
ceremony attended by Pr e m i e r
Levi Eshkol. The premier said that
the new building "should inspire
its students to imitate the devotion
to education of the man whose
name it bears."
Dr. Wise said that Mr. Sharett,
a f or mer foreign minister and
prime minister, who died earlier
this year, was one of the first to
understand the need for the uni-
versity and later helped it to at-
tain formal recognition.
A year ago, he recalled, Mr.
Sharett, then chairman of the
Jewish Agency Executive, received
the university's first and only hon-
orary doctorate. His widow and his
brother also attended the cere-
mony.
The dedication scroll was signed
by Premier Eshkol, Dr. Wise, Uni-
versity Rector Ben Zion Katz, Tel
Aviv May or Mordechai Namir,
Jewish Agency Executive Chair-
man Aryeh Pincus, Mrs. Sharett
and Yehuda Sharett and Mrs.
Rachel Ben-Zvi, widow of Israel's
second president.

British Electronics Firm Ends Bow to Arab Boycott

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM — Foreign Min-
istry sources disclosed Tuesday
that PEY, one of Britain's largest
radio and electronics firms, has
decided to reappoint the agency
which formerly represented it in
Israel, thus ending its submission
to the Arab boycott.
PEY was one of seven overseas
firms named by the Israel govern-
ment as having ended trade ties
with Israel under Arab pressure,
the other six including American,
West German and Japanese com-
panies. The seven firms had in-
dicated willingness to continue
trade with Israel on a private
basis, in effect hoping to get the
benefits of Israeli business while
also retaining Arab trade ties.
However, the Israel government

blocked that move by requiring
that products of such companies
have special import permits. The
resulting publicity led to the com-
panies resuming normal trade rela-
tions, with PEY the last to do so.

16 Fined After Clash
at London Fascist Rally

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

LONDON — Sixteen of 17 per-
sons arrested Sunday night after
a clash at an attempted outdoor
rally by British Fascist John Tynd-
all were fined Tuesday from three
pounds ($8.40) to 25 pounds ($70)
on charges of possession of weap-
ons and assaulting police officers.
The other defendant was re-
manded.
One of the defendants said in
court "How long can these people
be allowed to go on? They would
not be there if the police did not
give them protection."
Tyndall formed his own neo-
Nazi group last year after break-
ing with Colin Jordan, head of
the tiny British National Social-
ist Party.
Tyndall tried to hold an outdoor
rally in the East London district
of Dalston.
Although police formed a cordon
of 200 men to guard the meeting,
anti-Fascist demonstrators broke
through the police lines, tried to
overturn Tyndall's speakers plat-
form and clashed with the Tyndall
supporters.
The meeting broke up in dis-
order. Police officials did not say
how many of the men arrested
were fascists or counter-demon-
strators.
After the rally had been broken
up, Tyndall and his supporters re-
turned to their organization's
headquarters in South London.
They were followed by about 30
men in automobiles.
The latter • group attacked the
headquarters, and one man was
injured by flying glass and taken
to a hospital. No arrests were
made as a result of the second
alteraction.
