WALTHAM, Mass. — A promi-
nent Philadelphia family has 'pro-
vided a major grant for the estab-
lishment of a social policy re-
search institute at Brandeis ,Uni-
versity which will seek new ap-
proaches to reduce or eliminate
the social and financial problems
faced by America's 20,000,000 el-
derly.
The Max Levinson Gerontolog-
ical Policy Institute—established
through a grant from the Levin-
son Foundation as a component of
Brandeis' Florence Heller Grad-
uate School for Advanced Studies
in Social Welfare—is named in
honor of Max Levinson, founder
of the United Petroleum Co.
In working to reduce or elim-
inate problems affecting the aged,
the Levinson Institute will at-
tempt to influence the policies
and practices of public and pri-
vate institutions at the national,
state and local levels.
Dr. Robert Morris, director of
the institute and professor of so-
cial planning at the Heller School,
said that "If present tendencies
continue, the economic position of
the elderly will deteriorate during
the next 20 years—that is, a larg-
er proportion of the elderly will
be in a condition of poverty de-
spite improvements in Social' Se-
curity. However, steps taken now
regarding the structure of retire-
ment planning, the wide extension
of private retirement plans to sup-
plement Social Security, and the
adoption of lifetime earning pat-
terns may reverse this tendency."
Dr. Morris also pointed out
that while Medicare has great-
ly reduced the financial burden
for health services for the el-
derly, it has not improved med-
ical care for them. Too many
elderly patients end up in pro--
prietary nursing homes, whose
standards he labeled as "vary-
ing, often unsatisfactory or dan-
gerous."
He said the elderly with lim-
ited incomes who are on public
assistance fare even worse.
Proportionately twice as many el-
derly on Old Age Assistance end
up in nursing homes at a much
higher cost than would be re-
quired if they were assisted to
remain in their own homes
through an adequate program of
personal social services.

One of the drafts—sponsored by
Afghcnistan, Guinea, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Pakis-
tan and Somalia—stated that "the
people of Palestine" deserve "equal
rights and sell-determination" and
that "full respect for (their) in-
alienable rights . . . is an indis-
pensable element in the establish-
ment of a just and lasting peace
in the Middle East."

tical committee by a vote of 46-19

added that the measures will likely
have little effect and be quickly

The other draft—sponsored by
Afghanistan, India, Mali, Mauri-
tania, Pakistan and Somalia—
"calls once more" on Israel to re-
patriate the refugees immediately.
It passed by a vote of 83-7 with 17
abktentions. Israel voted against
the draft, and the U.S., Britain
and France voted for it. The So-
viet Union and the Arab bloc voted
for both measures.
Israeli sources said that the
eight-nation draft was "bad from
our point of view" and that their
