Skin Grafts From Cancer Patients
Save Lives, Hadassah Study Shows
JERUSALEM—Skin grafts from
patients with cancer may save
lives because they last significant-
ly longer than skin grafts from
non-tumorous patients, according
to Dr. Nahum Ben-Hur of the
Hadassah-Hebrew University Medi-
cal Center. Dr..Ben-Hur reported
on his research in a paper deliver.
ed at the International Surgical
Congress held here last month.
Skin grafts are used as "biolo-
gical dressings" in severe burns
or other injuries to prevent infec-
tion and the leakage of proteins,
electrolytes and other vital sub-
stances.
Beirut Air Raid
Was Warning to
Terrorists-Dayan
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
NEW YORK—Israel's defense
minister, Gen. Moshe Dayan, said
on a taped television interview
broadcast here Tuesday that the
commando raid on Beirut Airport
which destroyed 13 Lebanese com-
mercial aircraft was not an act of
reprisal or revenge for an Arab
terrorist attack on an El Al air-
liner at Athens two days earlier.
Gen. Dayan told Mike Wal-
lace, of the National Broadcast-
ing Company taht the raid was
intended as a warning that if
"El Al can't fly," Arab planes
"can't fly." He added that he
thought the raid had achieved
its purpose.
Gen. Dayan's remarks, carried
on "Sixty Seconds," an NBC News
feature, indicated that Israel au-
thorities may have ordered the
Beirut raid to discourage terrorist
acts which could do serious com-
mercial harm to Israel's airlines.
El Al is a government-owned en-
terprise into which millions of dol-
lars have been poured. With the
failure of Israel's passenger ship-
ping business two years ago, it is
the only Israel national flag car-
rier of tourists from the United
States and other countries to
Israel.
Yeshiva U. Says Yiddish
Is Far From Dying Out
NEW YORK (JTA) — A teacher
of Yiddish claimed that the old lan-
guage of Eastern European Jewry
"is currently experiencing a dra-
matic resurgence due to the Amer-
ican Jews' new longing for Jewish
identity."
Dr. Mordekhe Schaechter, visit-
ing assistant professor of Yiddish
at Yeshiva University, said, "All
this talk about a dying language is
cruel and misinformed. A language
with eight dailies published on
three continents is not dying."
In support of his thesis, Dr.
Schaechter cited among other
things the publication last summer
of the late Dr. Uriel Weinreich's
"Modern English-Yiddish, Yiddish-
English" dictionary and the found-
ing of the Benyumin Shekhter
Foundation for the Advancement of
Standard Yiddish in which he was
instrumental and which he now
heads.
He also credited the Broadway
play, "Fiddler on the Roof" and
the literary works of Isaac Bashe-
vis Singer, Abraham Sutzkever and
Chaim Grade for having stimulated
the growth of Yiddish culture
among Jews "who were previously
interested only in their biblical
past but who have now turned to
their immediate past."
The Family of the Late
MAX MINER
Acknowledges with grate-
ful appreciation the many
kind expressions of sym-
pathy extended by rela-
tives and friends during
the family's recent be-
reavement.
Early rejection of the skin graft,
however, makes it impossible for
the patient to retain the biological
dressing until his own skin grows
back, resulting in death. If the life
of the graft can be significantly
prolonged, the patients can be
saved.
Skin grafts taken from patients
with malignant tumors have been
found to survive the necessary
time before rejection.
Dr. Ben-Hur and his team treat-
ed a young patient with second and
third degree burns over 70 per
cent of his body with skin grafts
from several donor patients.
One of the donors had died from
cancer of the larynx while the
others had died from non-malig-
nant diseases. The graft from the
cancer patient survived for 60 days
while the grafts from the other
donors lasted only 12-18 days.
The prolonged survival time of
the cancer patient's skin enabled
the burnt patient to overcome the
critical period—until his own skin
grew and he could slough off the
graft. He left the hospital fully
recovered after 128 days.
For his work in clinical and ex-
perimental transplantation biology,
Dr. Ben-Hur was awarded the 1968
prize of the Education Foundation
of the American Society of Plas-
tics and Reconstructive Surgery.
VIP at Circumcision
of Hebron's 1st Baby
(Direct JTA Teletpye Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — The first child
born to a group of Orthodox Jews
who settled in the West Bank town
of Hebron last year was circum-
cised Tuesday and named Shneur
Hebron.
The ceremonies were attended
by Menahem Begin, minister with-
out portfolio in the coalition cabi-
net who acted as "sandak." The
family wanted the circumcision
performed at the Machpela Cave
in Hebron, reputed site of the
Patriarchs Tombs, but the military
government refused permission.
The cave lies within the compound
of the El Ibrahim mosque and has
been a source of friction between
Jewish and Moslem worshipers.
The settlers came to Hebron last
Passover and refused to leave
although they had no permit to
settle in the town which had been
exclusively Arab since 1936. The
military government permitted
them to stay on condition that they
observed all of its regulations.
Begin, who heads the right-wing
nationalist Herut Party, has advo-
cated Israel's annexation of all
occupied Arab territories.
