Elrom's Murder Is Denounced as Senseless

credit for the kidnaping. They de-
manded the release of all revolu-
tionaries in Turkish custody in
return for Elrom's life.
Turkish authorities launched a
nationwide dragnet which rounded
up scores of suspects but were un-
able to apprehend the kidnapers.
Before departing for Helsinki
Mrs. Meir said, "I think a word of
appreciation and thanks is due to
the Turkish government" for its
efforts to. rescue Elrom.
The kidnap-murder was viewed
by Israelis as an act of sheer ter-
rorism with no link to the Arab-
Israel conflict although the Turkish
terrorists are known to sympathize
with the most extreme of the Pal-
estinian guerrilla groups.
Edelman Pleads:
Trees for Elrom
as JNF Memorial
In a paid advertisement in
this issue, Bernard Edelman,
prominent Detroit realtor,
urges the planting of trees in
Israel through the Jewish
National Fund, in memory of
Ephraim Elrom.
"He gave his life," his ad
reads. "I respectfully suggest
that all of us respond by
planting trees in Israel in his
memory."
President Zalman Shazar sent a
message of condolence to Elrom's
widow. He said: "We are shocksd
by the awful news of this cruel
crime. Our hearts are with you in
your grief, which is the grief of all
of us."
Elrom's body was brought to Is-
rael in a Turkish transport plane.
Arriving aboard the plane were the
widow and her sister, accompanied
by the Turkish chief of protocol
and Deputy Director of the Israeli
Foreign Ministry Moshe Sassoun,
who flew to Turkey last week.
The plane was met by Foreign
Minister Abba Eban, Police Minis-
ter Shlomo Hillel and the chief
military chaplain, Rabbi Shlomo
Goren.
Elrom's remains lay in state at
the Tel Aviv section of the foreign
ministry where Eban and Hillel
delivered eulogies. The slain Isra-
eli diplomat was buried in the mili-
tary section of the Kiryat Shaul
cemetery near Tel Aviv.
In Tel Aviv, Knesset members
and cabinet ministers headed by
Acting Premier Yigal Allon joined
thousands of mourners at the
funeral.
Elrom was buried with full hon-
ors near the grave of his only son,
Gideon, who was killed in a plane
crash less than two years ago.
Rabbi Goren officiated at the
burial services. The Turkish gov-
ernment was represented by its
chief of protocol who accompanied
Elrom's coffin on the flight from
Space Science Computer Method
Used for New Type Market Scheme
Er

•N
JERUSALEM — Mathematics of
missile guiding have been used by
a Hebrew University scientist to
devise a new type of marketing
scheme for Israeli citrus fruit ex-
ported to Europe, which eventually
may serve as a model to exporters
of such commodities elsewhere in
the world.
The scheme, based on that used
in space science, is the result of a
research project initiated by Dr.
Yakir Plessner, 36, lecturer at the
university's faculty of agriculture
in Rehovot, after it had become
clear that conditions for marketing
citrus abroad had worsened for
several reasons.
These included an increased sup-
ply from other Mediterranean
countries (mainly Spain, followed
by Morocco and Algeria) and the
change of the retail structure as
witnessed by the increasing num-
:ber of supermarkets and large re-
tail chains.
Alarmed by these prospects, Dr.
Plessner set out to contrive an
• optimal marketing policy for Isra-
eli oranges and grapefruit in four
.major European markets: United
Kingdom, West Germany, Holland
and Belgium. Israeli citrus fetch
some $60,000,000 annually in these
markets, but it is increasingly evi-
dent that new methods must be in-
troduced to cope with the competi-
tion and maintain or possibly
increase Israel's share in citrus
export to this area.
The research project is car-
ried out at the university's facul-
ty of agriculture within the frame
of the Center for Agricultural
Economic Research, a body

2 New Student Dorms
JERUSALEM — The number of
students accommodated in dormi-
tories at the Hebrew University's
faculty of agriculture in Rehovot
reached 236 with the dedication of
a 74-bed residence hall established
in_ the name of Carrie and Nathan
A. Rosen of Miami.
Another dormitory accommodat-
ing 32 male students, established
in memory of Herman Yablick by
his widow, Mrs. Ruth Yablick of
Miami Beach, was dedicated at
the Hebrew University's Givat Ram
campus.
founded and financed by the He-
brew University and various
economic circles. The sponsor is
the Citrus Marketing Board of
Israel. In his study, Dr. Pless-
ner headed a five-man research
team.
The researchers made two statis-
tical analyses of prices and quan-
tities of various sizes of fruit, to
help establish demand estimates,
and all this material was fed into
the university's CDC-6400 electron-
ic computer on the Givat Ram
campus in Jerusalem.
The marketing scheme they de-
vised is designed to maximize the
total FOB revenues from Israeli
citrus exports to these four mar-
kets. A computer program has
been written and is already being
operated by the CDC computer dur-
ing the current citrus season, on a
weekly basis.
Every week a new forecast is
given for the operation for the rest
of the season, as the past week's
market results are fed into the
computer and become a basic fac-
tor for further forecasts.
Istanbul and by the charge de'
affaires and member of the Turk-
ish legation in Israel.
In Washington, State Department
spokesman Charles W. Bray said
Tuesday of the kidnap-murder that
the department "continues to de-
plore in the strongest terms possi-
ble this form of criminal behavior."
Bray offered "sincerest condo-
lence" to Elrom's widow, Elsa.
In Istanbul, parliament ap-
proved the government's request
that the one-month period of mar-
tial law imposed April 26 in the
wake of internal disturbances be
extended for two more months.
Parliament passed a government-
sponsored, retroactive capital-pun-
ishment law for kidnapings. Eight
men and a woman are being sought
in the Elrom case.
Protest by Revisionists
Issued at Chicago Conclave
Special to The Jewish News
CHICAGO—At a special national
conclave of the United Zionists Re-
visionists of America, held here
Tuesday, a strong condemnation
was issued of the murder of Israel
Consul General Ephraim Elrom in
Turkey.
The Zionists Revisionists de-
manded that the governments of
the United States and the Soviet
Union, and the Arab states, issue
similar condemnations.
Dr. Howard Adelson, professor
of history at City College of New
York, national president of Zionists
Revisionists, stated that whether
the Russians and the Arabs con-
demn "this heinous and unspeak-
able crime will be a test of their
sincerity of fundamental humani-
tarian issues."
The conclave called on the Soviet
Union to permit Russian Jews to
emigrate to Israel and to release
all political prisoners, whose only
"crime" according to Prof. Adel-
son is the desire to live in Israel,
their ancestral homeland.
Keynoting the conclave in addi-
tion to Prof. Adelson were Dr.
Moshe Lev, Rabbi Shalom Epstein
and Norbert Rosenthal, leaders
of the Chicago Zionists Revision-
ists, as well as Steven Goldin and
Moshe Brodetzky, leaders of the
Zionists Revisionists of Detroit and
Washington.

Chemistries to Be Linked at Weizmann Institute
REHOVOT — Research on the
frontiers of modern chemistry will
be given new impetus at the Weiz-
mann Institute of Science with the
construction of the Perlman Insti-
tute of Chemical Sciences—sched-
uled for completion in 1973—toward
which Chicago lawyer and commu-
nity leader Harold L. Perlman has
contributed $1,500,000. Work on the
building, which will be one of the
largest single structures on the
grounds of the institute, is to begin
later this year.
The new institute will make pos-
sible closer contact and coopera-
tion among Weizmann Institute
chemists, who have been scattered
throughout the campus.
