Peace CHICAGO—A new proposal aim- ed at solving the Middle East prob- lem was presented by a U.S. sci- entist and industrial leader at the American Technion Society annual science and technology conference here. Prof. Keeve M. Siegel, chairman of KMS Industries, Ann Arbor, and former teacher at the University of Michigan, suggested that Israel would be willing to give back most of the territory it won in the Six- Day War in 1967 if the major pow- ers of the world would provide it with sufficient arms and money to protect the new shorter borders which would result from the with- drawal. The proposal was made at the closing session of the 12th annual Conference on Science and Tech- nology in Israel and the Middle East. The conference was spon- sored by the American Technion Society, supporter of the Tech- nion-Israel Institute of Technol- ogy, Haifa. Prof. Siegel said that the way to achieve peace in the Middle East Heinl to Address Hadassah Event is "to make Israel stronger mili- tarily rather than weaker." "For example, if in a peace treaty ordered by the United Na- tions, Israel was going to give up most of greater ISRAEL and Israel was going to receive for free 200 MIG-23s and 200 Phantoms and a billion dollars of economic aid, and the Arabs were going to get almost all their land back but no military weapons, then I think the lines on the new maps would disappear."

Ovshinsky, presi- dent of Energy Conversion Devices, Troy.
