WHAT ABOUT
TRANSATLANTIC
AIR FARES..?
We receive, daily, numerous calls from people inquiring
about this summer's Transatlantic fares. To our em-
barossment and their dismay, we have to say: WE
DON'T KNOW AND ACTUALLY NOBODY KNOWS
at this time.
The air fares agreed upon lost spring after lengthy ne-
gotiations between the airlines were supposed to be in
effect for 2 years. Fact is, that their validity ends by
April 1, 1973 ; and practically every airline has filed a
different rate structure to be applicable after this date.
If there is no unanimous agreement at that time, we will
have an "OPEN
FARE
SITUATION" or to put it bluntly,
there will be a rate war.
Most European carriers have filed rates and rules
based on their national interests. United States flag
carriers have made it clear they will not be undersold.
The British are the toughest and it is very likely that
the topic will be brought up in the talks between Prime
Minister Heath and Presiden Nixon.
Is there a stable point in this chaos? Yes, there is. The
of charter operations can be counted on. There ore
two kinds of charters: AFFINITY (where participants
have to belong for at least 6 mooths to an organiza-
tion, club or association), and the new TRAVEL GROUP
CHARTERS (where no affinity is required) they can be
cost
freely advertised to the general public but o deposit
has to be paid at least 90 days before departure in
order to be able to fly on such a charter-plane. Those
who make up their minds in time, will benefit from the
low rates ... if you are only one day late, there is no
way to be accepted.
Is this too much of a chance to take? By no means! The
cancelation rules are quite liberal. Ask your Travel
ALL MEANS DON'T POST-
PONE ACTION, the time to act is NOW!

Peirez, was a false announce-
ment by the Japanese Em-
bassy that Japan and Israel
are conducting talks on mut-
ual airline landing rights.
In denying the Japanese
statement, Is r ael said its
most recent request to Japan
for mutal landing rights
early in 1972 still has not
been answered.
Peirez and Arnold Forster,
general counsel of the league,
declared thae the Japanese
Embassy seems to be "par-
roting JAL's stalling tactics
and doubletalk." They said
that "m eetings and ex-
changes of correspondence
with the airliine to secure
mutual landing rights have
been going on for more than
five years and have been
totally unproductive."
Peirez and Forster said
that demonstrations will con-
tinue at JAL offices.
There purpose, Peirez said,
"is informational—to make
the general public ware of
the facts. We want everyone
to know the truth about the
airline's participation in the
Arab boycott of Israel."
5 Global Conferences 18—Friday, Feb. 9, 1973
Scheduled in Rehovot
REHOVOT—Five interna-
tional scientific conferences
are to take place this year
at the Weizmann Institute, or
to be organized by Weizmann
Institue scientists elsewhere
in Israel. They are:
The first American Medical
Association Health Confer-
ence in Israel at the end of
February.
First in a series honoring
the memory of Prof. Aharon
Katzir-Katchalsky, in June,
on "Stability and Origin of
Biological Information."
The eighth Rehovot Confer-
ence on Economic Growth in
Developing Countries (Ma-
terial and H u m a n Re-
sources), in September.
The Edmond de Rothschild
School on the Biophysics of
Glycoproteins, sponsored by
the institute and Institut de
Biologie Physico-Chimique in
October.
The seventh European Con-
ference on Physics and
Chemistry of Complex Nu-
clear Reactions, at Nof Ginos-
sar, in December,
ICAO Failure
on Skyjacking
Regretted
WASHINGTON (JTA)—The
United States, expressing "a
quite mixed reaction" to the
results of the discussions on
skyjacking by the legal com-
mittee of the International
Civil Aviation Organization,
said it was looking forward
to the diplomatic conference
next August in Amsterdam
for "some movement"
against international air
terror.
The committee adjourned
Jan. 31 in Montreal after
failing to adopt an interna-
tional convention, proposed
by the U. S. which would
bring multinational boycotts
against nations harboring sky
pirates.
State Department spokes-
man Charles Bray said the
U. S. is modestly but only
modestly satisfied that in the
closing days the legal com-
mittee undertook to forward
to the Amsterdam conference
four proposals for "security
in the skies."
One of the proposals, ad-
vanced by "some Nordic
states," Bray said, is for an
independent convention
which would establish fact-
finding machinery if a state
violated any one of three
existing conventions: Tokyo,
Montreal and Hague conven-
tions regarding sabotage, hi-
jacking and extradition of
skyjackers. The United
States does not consider them
sufficient to combat air
piracy effectively, Bray said,
The fact-finding proposal,
Bray said, "does go down
the road a bit to subjecting
states to action on aerial
piracy."
Israel to Host HUC
NEW YORK — More than
100 Jewish religious and
civic leaders from the U.S.
will travel to Israel Feb. 22
for a meeting in Jerusalem of
the board of governors of
Hebrew Union College-Jew-
ish Institute of Religion and
to attend the 10th anniver-
sary of the celebration of the

Thai Student Picks
Israel Over MSU
REHOVOT — Pr a kong
Chobsieng, who recently be-
gan her PhD studies at the
Weizmann Institute's Fein-
herg Graduate School, has
a double distinction: she is
the school's only Thai and
:Aso its only ."second-genera-
tion" student. Her teacher in
Bangkok, Dr. Puttipongse
Varavudhi of the University
of Chulalongkorn, is himself
an alumnus of the Feinberg
Graduate School.
Miss Chobsieng is doing re-
search on the biology of re-
production in the Institute's
biodynamics department,
headed by Prof. Hans Lind-
ner, on a scholarship from
the West German Ministry
for Economic Cooperation.
She chose the Weizmann
Institute over Michigan State
University, where a position
awaited her, "It wasn't only
the institute's reputation
which attracted me," she ex-
plans, "but the fact that I
am its spritual child."
Miss Choabsieng is well
aware of the implication of
what she is doing on birth
control and family planning,
questions of central import-
ance to Thailand and other
developing nations. The prob.
ter, she says, is not only
one of the new birth control
methods, but also one of
changing traditional attitudes.

Mobile Units to Care
for Cardiac Cases
JERUSALEM—Two new
mobile cardiac rescue units
recently were put into opera-
tion in the Jerusalem area
by Magen David Adorn, Is-
rael's emergency medical
service.
Each vehilcle is manned
by a doctor and equipped
with special apparatus to
allow on-the-spot diagnosis
to be made and transmitted
onto the receiving screen of
the nearest hospital. Experts
analyze the finding, advise
the attending physician of
the results and the treatment
best suited to the paient's
condition and direct the am-
bulance to the nearest medi-
cal facility equipped to
handle that particular emer-
gency.
Prof. Shlomo Rogel head
of coronary care at Hadas-
sah Hospital, and organizer
of the rescue units, said the
units will cut the mortality
