Bar-Ilan's bachelor's and master's
degrees in all subjects and doc-
toral degrees in Judaic studies are
formally recognized throughout the
United States.
Dr. Lookstein and Stollman
hailed the Board of Regents action
as "a milestone in our development
as a major institution of higher
learning."

striking example of United States
concern for that country's develop-
ment, a bridge of friendship be-
tween our two peoples," - he said.

abip of Mr. Stollman, have con-
tributed more than $7 million
since 1955 to the thiiversity.

U.S. To Give $1,000,000 to Hadassah
WASHINGTON (JTA).,--1The
House Foreign Affairs Committee
has adopted an amendment to the
foreign aid bill to provide $1,000,-
000 in Israeli pounds for Hadassah
medical needs in Israel.
The amendment was offered by
Rep. Leonard Farbstein, New
York Democrat and member of the
committee, after the administra-
tion denied the Hadassah request.
Mrs. Mortimer Jacobson, nation-
al Hadassah president, testified
May 11 before the committee to ask
backing for the amendment. She
did this after the U.S. Agency for
International Development rejected
Hadassah's application for in-
clusion under a provision benefit-
ing American institutions assisting
medical and educational programs.
It was noted by members of the
committee that the administration
aided institutions in Arab nations
under this provision, Section 214,
but denied the Hadassah request.
