demography, epidemiology, ecology
and genetics, will be introduced to
Israel for the first time . by the
Weizmann Institute's new depart-
ment of pure mathematics, which
has begun operations here under
the direction of Prof. Samuel Kar-
lin.
Prof. Karlin, who comes to Re-
hovot from Stanford University, is
an internationally known expert-in
this discipline, which brings the in- ,
sights of mathematics to - bear on
problems ' of medical, social' and
political importance.
Another senior member of the
pure mathematics department is
Prof. I. N. Herstein, a leading Uni-
versity of Chicago specialist in
algebra and its applications. Regu-
lar visitors will include Prof. S.
Sternberg of Harvard, best known
for his work on global analysis,
who also has been concerned re-
cently with • mathematical aspects
of particle physics.
Prof. Karlin has written books
and papers on mathematical
economics and game theory. His
pioneering work, "Studies in the
Mathematical Theory of Inven-
tory and Production," put for-
ward novel mathematical meth-
ods for utilization of resources
on a national and local level—a
matter of overwhelming concern
to resource-poor countries.
These methods have already
been applied by industrial con-
cerns, in development planning;
.by military establishments, in
making policy decisions; and by
Water planning authorities, in pre
paring schemes for efficient utili-
zation.
Prof. Karlin is responsible for
the development of the concept of
"Total Positivity," which has been
extensively applied in numerical
analysis and the theory of approxi-
mation.

LONDON — Egypt has released
all 127 Jewish citizens she had
been holding in prisons since the
Six-Day War, but they and their
families are still in the country,
which hundreds of Jews are not
allowed to leave.
Tourists arriving in Haifa were
quoted in the Jerusalem Post as
saying that the Egyptians. used
"Nazi methods" in order to ferret
out Jews who did not possess Jew-
ish names.
They said the prisoners were
first-held in the Abu Zaabel prison
under inhuman conditions, with 73
men occupying one cell and a diet
consisting of small rations of
beans. Worse than the daily beat-
ings and humiliations was the lack
of hope.
Later, at the Tours jail, where
the prisoners were transferred, the
conditions were eased a little, and
