`Lands with Atomic Savvy
Can Produce Bomb'
TEL AVIV (ZINS)—The conten-
tion that only four countries,
members of the "Atomic Club"
(U.S.A., England, Soviet Union
and Communist China) possess the
knowhow to produce the atom
bomb is nothing more than fiction,
Israeli atomic expert Prof. D.
Bergman stated here.
The truth is, Prof. Bergman con-
tends, that 15 to 20 countries have
scientists with the scientific knowl-
edge required in using atomic
power for peace, as well as for
war.
Research in atomic energy for
peaceful purposes differs little
from the study of atomic power
for war purposes, Pgof. Bergman
stated. The differeneb lies in the
goals for which atomic energy is
intended to be used.
Not all countries producing
atomic power, or having the know-
how to do so, must necessarily pro-
duce atomic weapons, and vice
versa. Theoretically, a large num-
ber of countries—including Israel—
possess the sophisticated knowl-
edge necessary to produce atomic
war weapons, if they should de-
cide to do so.
Hydraulic Flume i n Use at Technion
HAIFA—A new water flume for
studying the movement of sand
and gravel in streams has been
opened in the hydraulics laboratory
of the Technion-Israel Inistitute of
Technology.
The 23 meter long steel trough-
shaped flume was built as part of
a three-year, $94,150 research
contract from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, awarded to the
Technion Research and Develop-
ment Foundation Ltd. for the "de-
velopment of a device for auto-
matic measurement of bedload in
streams."
"Bedload," explained Dr. Mi-
chael Poreh, associate professor of
civil engirtUring, "is the sqlid ma-
teriaf=rocks, graKel and' sand
which-is parried along the' bottom
of streams by the force of the cur-
rent. When the turbulent flow of
water transports a great deal of
bedload, the stream's channel can
change and there is also the seri-
ous problem of sedimentation (fill-
ing) of reservoirs, such as happen-
ed in the Nahal Shikma reservoir
in the Negev," he said.
Prof. Poreh and his co-research-
ers, Dr. Ido Seginer, senior lee-
Chaplain Gets Legion of Merit Medal
Chaplain Jack Ostrovsky (right), who has been serving as a
Jewish chaplain in Vietnam since August 1968, was awarded a Legion
of Merit medal for "exceptionally meritorious service in a position of
great importance" as a Jewish chaplain in Europe from May 1965 to
June 1968. The citation accompanying the medal being pinned on
Chaplain Ostrovsky by Maj. Gen. Joseph M. Heiser, commanding
general, First Logistical Command, Vietnam, stated that Chaplain
Ostrovsky "was personally responsible for the development and super-
vision of a comprehensive Jewish religious program not only for
North Haden District, but throughout-United • States Army, •Europe.'t
turer of the faculty of agricultural
engineering and Prof. H. Elata of
the faculty of civil enginereing,
will use the new flume to develop a
method and a device to measure
automatically the amount of bed-
load material being carried in
streams. The flume is mounted on
jacks and can be tilted slightly to
produce a slope, thus simulating
conditions found in either slow or
swift streams. During operation,
water will flow down the flume and
stones, gravel and sand will be in-
troduced "upstream." Then move-
ments of the material will be noted
and testing of various trap designs
carried out.
In an earlier part of the project
the researchers conducted field
measurements last winter in sev-
eral streams along Israel's north-
ern coast around Haifa to deter-
mine the basic characteristics of
bed-load moving during heavy
floods following storms. It was
found, for example, that in Wadi
tens of tons of sediment per
hour were carried by the stream
and that some of the stones were
as large as 20 cm. in diameter.
The design of the new flume in-
corporates their findings.
Tina Levitan Writes
New Book on U. S. Jews
The latest book by Tina Levitan
has just been published by the He-
brew Publishing Company of New
York. Entitled "Jews in American
Life," it is the fifth book authored
by Tina Levitan.
In this volume Miss Levitan tells
the glowing epic story of 90 out-
standing American Jewish men
and women who have decisively
affected the destiny of this coun-
try and the course of civilization
from the times even before the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth right
down to the beginning of the Space
Age. The 90 men and women in-
cluded are explorers and mer-
chants, bankers and soldiers, rab-
bis and social leaders, jurists and
writers, statesmen and philanthro-
pists, scholars and educators,
scientists and inventors, whose
lives and pioneering deeds, whose
talents and labors have enriched
every phase of American life.
The 90 historic portraits and
photographs of today and yester-
year are an integral part of the
book.

Dover Issues William Dampier Classic
'New Voyage Round World' in Paperback
In the literature of travel and of
exploration, no writer is more im-
portant than 17th Century natural-
ist, buccaneer, explorer, and ad-
venturer William Dampier. Dam-
pier's great work, "A New Voyage
Round the World," which is now
available from Dover Publications
in paperback reprint, is universally
esteemed as one of our travel clas-
sics; a fascinating saga of his
twelve and a half year journey
from London to the West Indies,
South America, Virginia, and the
East Indies, around the Cape of
Good Hope and back to England.
Dampier's adventure began in
the early part of 1679 when he sail-
ed from England to Jamaica on the
Loyal Merchant. On reaching the
island he began an eight year so-
journ in the company of Coxon,
Sharp, Sawkins, and other notor-
The next best thing to hot soup to warm Israeli soldiers at lonely winter outposts, especially
on Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights, are the shoulder-length woolen hoods knitted with tender,
loving care by residents of Malben homes in Israel. Malben is the welfare and rehabilitation program of
the Joint Distribution Committee on behalf of aged, ill and handicapped newcomers to Israel. The photo
shows women knitting in one of the Malben workrooms. When the Israeli Soldiers Welfare Commit.
tee launched a drive for the hoods, the Malben ladies were among the first to volunteer. JDC/Mal-
ben operates 11 institutions in Israel providing direct care for about 3,000 aged and ill newcomers. Ex-
tra-mural program bring other forms of assistance to another 35,000 needy aged and handicapped im-
migrants. Malben and the health and welfare programs of the JDC are financed mainly by the cam-
paigns of the United Jewish Appeal.

ious buccaneers. During this time
he took part in some of the most
daring raids and feats of arms in
the history of piracy. He helped
raze Porto Bello, plundered Span-
ish ships and towns, crossed the
burning Isthmus twice, sailed
around the Horn, ventured north
into Virginia, and returned to the
Pacific. Then, with his fellow buc-
caneers, the indefatigable Dampier
sailed to the East Indies where he
spent the next three years as a
gunner and a trader. He finally
returned to England by sailing
around the Cape of Good Hope.

Use of 'Private Club'
BUFFALO — The Episcopal Dio-
cese of Western New York has an-
nounced it will not use the facili-
ties of "any private club" for of-
ficial functions or activities "as a
witness to our continuing concern
of conscience that apparent dis-
crimination will not be condoned
by the church and as a specific
protest against the injustices in-
herent in the admission procedures
of private clubs."
