The three-day per week program provides the young women of the village with instruction in such handicraft skills as rug making, embroidery and sewing. The Pioneer Women organ- ization sponsors 32 Arab women's clubs in Israel. Dayan Warns Israel's Army: • Maintain Superiority in M. E. TEL AVIV (JTA)—Defense Minister Moshe Dayan de- clared that Israel's armed forces, especially the air force —"the most powerful deter- rent against the enemy"— must continue to maintain its superiority in face of a new phase in the Middle East balance of arms. Dayan referred to the con- tinuing flow of arms from Russia, France, England and even. The U.S., into the oil- rich 'Arab countries with no thought for Israel's security. He said, moreover, that a new technological era poses problems that the air force must overcome to maintain its lead. The defense minister ad- dressed graduating pilots at a major Israeli air base where 20,000 spectators wit- nessed a spectacular 45-min- ute air show and a tragedy. Benjamin Gran, an Israeli television cameraman, was fatally injured by a plane taking off from a runway on which he was standing. The runway was out of bounds. An investigation has been started by the air force. The aerial display featured Israel's Phantom jets and a propellor-driven Spitfire, be- I lieved to be the only one of the famed British World War II fighters still in flight con- dition.

Weizmann Institute to StudyChromosome Behavior in Plants; Faculty Men Honored From Queens College in the City University of New York comes a new quarterly —Yiddish — "devoted to Yid- dish and Yiddish literature." Appearing under the edit- orship of Joseph C. Landis, whose associate editors are Benjamin A. Gebiner and Lee Cogan, this quarterly, issued by Queens College Press, is made possible by a grant from Atran Founda- tion. The editorial in the first issue pointed to the revival of Yiddish and declares that "Yiddish is here now — and it is ours to have." Editor Landis declares: "It aims to provide a bridge between two cultures and two worlds; to make au- dible in English the voices and judgments of Yiddish writers, critics and thinkers, past and present, here and on five other continents where Yiddish are spoken and writ- ten . . . It aims to encour- age the increasing numbers of new scholars and critics (needless to say, non-Jewish as well as Jewish), by pro- viding a forum for their work. It aims to provide a resource for faculty and stu- dents 'engaged in the study of Yiddish." • This first issue opens with the text of the address de- livered by Israel Prime Min- ister Golda Meir at the dedi- cation of the Leivick House in Israel. A special feature is the translation of a lengthy con- versation, conducted in 1955, between A. Tabachnik and Jacob Glatstein. Other features are: "A Glatstein Portfolio" devoted to the works of the eminent Yiddish writer; A short story, "The Lantuch," by Isaac Bashevis Singer; Da- vid Maris' "Films on the Holocaust" and Percy Ma- tenko's "Yitskhok Rudashev- ski's 'Diary of the Vilna Ghetto'." REHOVOT — Several aspects of chromosomal behavior in plant sex cells, which hold the key to the development of higher yield- ing strains, will be studied with the aid of DM 400,000 (a bout $150,000) Volks- wagen Foundation grant re- cently received by Drs. Moshe Feldman and Lydia Avivi of Weizmann Insti- tute's Plant Genetics Depart- ment. The Israeli researchers, working in cooperation with Prof. G. Robbelen of the University of Gottingen, Ger- many, will inquire into the behavior of chromosomes in the cells and sex organs of plants, with particular em- phasis on the interaction be- tween the genetic material in the chromosomes of the male parent and in those of the female parent. By learning about, and more efficiently controlling this process, the researchers may be able to develop better strains of wheat — the plant they are using as a model—and of other crops. Moreover, since there is a basic similarity between breeding in plants and in animals, their work might even have medical signifi- cance. It is known, for example, that many genetic diseases in man are the result of chromosome abnormalities caused 'by mishaps during the breeding process. Under- standing is thus of major importance. Two Weizmann Institute researchers, Prof. Michael Sela, Head of the Institute's Chemical Immunology De- partment, and Prof. David Givol of the same depart- ment, have received over $300,000 in grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the U.S. National Institutes of Health for studies on vari- ous aspects of immunology.

They will be using for this purpose simple synthetic antigens developed in Prof. Sela's laboratory. Prof. Givol, who received a three-year grant of $80,- 000, will be focussing on the structure of the 'antibody combining site, i.e. the place where the antibody and its mortal enemy, the antigen, come together. Prof. Givol has already been able to iso- late that small fragment of the molecule which contains the combining site, and has demonstrated the possibility of labeling of that site. The Emil von Behring Prize, named after the first man to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physi- ology, will be awarded to Prof. Sela, dean of the Weiz- mann Institute's biology fac- ulty, in a ceremony at the Phillips University of Mar- burg, in the Federal German Republic. Following the award cere- mony, Prof. Sela will par- ticipate in a scientific sym- posium at the university. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • i fb 1• • • 'O S (1 block North of Ford Rd.) ie .
