No one could have written about it more clearly than he did 40 years ago in his autobiography, "Trial and Error." In a chapter in which he discusses "oil and politics," he warned of the need to break "oil's monopo- lostic hold." Dr. Weizmann himself worked on the solution of the problem and hoped that the scientific institute in Rehovot which bears his name would continue the work and that Palestine "would be made the center of the new devel- opment which would get the world past the conflict aris- ing from the monopolistic position of oil." As he saw it, the oil prob- lem was basically part of the general question of raw materials with which his en- tire scientific career was in- volved. He said, in his mind, "science and Zionism were fused in one organic whole." Some look to the sun, some to nuclear energy, some to coal to solve the energy problem. Weizmann looked to the farm.

Dr. Golnick, a native of Scranton, holds a dentistry degree from the Univedsity of Pittsburgh and a master of science degree in pedo- dontics from the University of Detroit. President of the Michigan Society of Dentistry for Children, he is on the staffs of Sinai and Children's Hospitals. Dr. Golnick is chairman of the department of pedodontics and assistant professor of clinical pedodon- tics at U. of D.'s school of dentistry.

Weizmann, in his research in fermenta- tion, found that some bac- teria in the soil mixed with some plants like tapioca, pro- duce plain alcohol, butyl al- cohol and acetone out of which a high octane fuel could be made. The world of bacteria is quite a world. Some people think we have overpopula- tion. They point especially to India. Six hundred million people there, they cry out. In the bacteria world, that is considered birth control. Dr. Selman Waxman, himself a Nobel Prize winner for his bacteriological discoveries, writing about Weizmann, notes that one pound of soil often contains 150,000,000 bacteria. It's not easy to know so many bacteria. But Dr. Weizmann is so well known there that some bac- teria are named after him. The British government was able to use Weizmann's findings in the manufacture of needed chemicals. Fac- tories for their manufacture were established all over the world, including the United States. The ones in America were eventually taken over by the U.S. . government. Henry Wallace, who was Vice-President under Frank- lin Roosevelt, said that the world would never know its debt to Weizmann for his contribution in the making of synthetic rubber. Weizmann was also search- ing for the development of vegetable substitutes for the protein of meat. Weizmann made significant contributions in all of these fields and looked to the scientific insti- tution in Israel which he founded to continue this work. When the Nazis took over Germany, Weizmann tried to get Fritz Haber to join the Israeli scientific institution. Haber was a Jew who had converted to Christianity. He made perhaps the most sig- nificant chemical discovery of his generation, the extrac- tion of nitrogen from the air. It was the basis of many new German industries. When first approached by Weiz- mann with the -idea of com- ing to Israel, Haber's answer was a positive negative. But later a penitent Haber ap- peared. He had been stripped of everything by the Nazis. He started the journey to Is- rael, but died en route. Weizmann's notable scien- tific discoveries no doubt had their effect in getting Eng- land to issue the Balfour Declaration. Lloyd George was Prime Minister at the time. He once remarked to Herbert Samuel, "Weizmann will be remembered when both of us are forgotten." The world needs science more than it needs Arab oil, which after all will be a thing of the past some 40 years from now. When the last Arab oil well has dried out, the world will perforce have to turn to the wells of science. And this perhaps is a good enough reason in itself why the world needs Israel. Some- thing tells us that Weiz- mann's dream will come true, that Israel will be one of these science wells, so much needed, despite the fact that the United Nations seems entirely unaware of it. 111111111111111111111111.11111111111111- Fashion Show Due at Donor Luncheon Flowers For Every Occasion ...
