Japan Air Lines Accused of Using Public Relations to Cover Up Boycott JAL is now trying to neu- tralize adverse publicity it recived from - protese dem- onstrations by ADL, Bnai Brith, the Jewish War Vet- erns and other Jewish organi- zations at the airline's offices in cities throughout the U.

Japan Air Lines consis- tently has refused to estab- lish mutual landing rights with the Israeli airline, El Al.

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! Agent for details, but BY Peter Geran Elkin Tours 10 • • .,31. ta. 'a:. "3- `be . • • 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 Jerusalem School of the col- 'lerc-Institente.' ' ' ."' • 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.

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.
