The set up four working groups to implement the agreement and agreed to meet again in November in Washington to discuss the progress of the groups which will make studies of the pos- sibilities of American private investment in Israel, raw material supplies, technical aid and expansion of trade. Israeli officials reported that Rabinowitz repeated to Simon the Israeli govern- ment's request for an addi- tional $1,500,000,000 in mili- tary aid over the next three years, stressing that Israel's defense burden was very high. Simon said, at a meeting with Rabinowitz and Com- merce and Industry Minister Israel Welcomes Young Leadership Family Mission TEL AVIV — Thirty-three families, including 90 chil- dren age 4-17, are partici- pants in the first United Jewish Appeal Family Mis- sion. The adults are all mem- bers of the UJA Young Lead- ership Cabinet. The family mission con- cept was developed to enable American Jewish families to share a highly emotional and educational experience among themselves and with Israeli families, to better understand the basic impor- tance of Jewish unity and the American Jewish com- munity's relationship with the people of Israel. It is personal contact de- veloped along the way that lends the mission its special flavor. Former Russian activists David and Esther Markish came to the hotel to visit the Joel Sprayregens of Chicago —whom they had met on the family's last visit to Israel —and stayed to discuss with mission members the prob- lems of Russian immigration and adjustment in Israel. A tall, red-checked kibutz- nik, age 96, gave visitors to Kibutz Hephziba his own per- spective on history. He told how he had set out on foot from Siberia to Palestine 76 years ago. He walked all the way to Greece, the old kibut- znik said, then sailed to Palestine where he helped found the agricultural school at Kineret and Kibutz Re- havia.

He said he believed that investments in Israel were economically worth- while. Barley asked the American official for reasonable terms to buy some $800,000,000 of equipment in the next seven years. Barley also asked for a reduction of customs duties between Israel and the U.S. and aid for the development of industrial research. Simon arrived in Israel T u e s (1 -a y night from Cairo where he had discussions with President Anwar Sadat and Egyptian officials. In a statement replying to Rabinowitz's welcome at Ben- Gurion Airport, Simon de- clared: "I promise you that we will be helpful in every way we can with the help and the assistance that has been so characteristic of our relationship these past years and which reached its peak during our President's recent visit here." He noted that his visit in the wake of the visits by Mr. Nixon and Kissinger "attests to the migh import- ance by country attaches tc the exceptionally close ties which have developed be- tween our countries in recent years. Now we stand on the threshold of a new era in these relations, as expressed in the joint statement of June 17 by President Nixon and Prime Minister (Yitzhak) Rabin." Israel was Simon's second stop on a two-week tour of the Middle East and Europe. He left for Saudi Arabia Thursday and is then sched- uled to go to Kuwait, West German y, France and Britain. Simons three days of talks in Egypt reportedly concen- trated on guarantees for American investments in Egypt and liberalization of Egypt's economic system. Simon said he had assured Sadat that he would have an answer soon on how much grain Egypt would receive from the U.S. under the Food for Peace program, but he added that Egypt would not get all the wheat it wants from the U.S. alone. University in Buffalo Offers Yiddish Class BUFFALO (JTA)—An in- troduction to Yiddish Course will be offered next fall by the State University of Buf- falo for the first time. Dr. Philip Veit, professor in the Germanic and Slavic depart- ment, will teach the course. He said the department hopes to stimulate ethnic in- terest in' the language and also to serve students in linguistics. He said that while the course is not listed with the university's Judaic stu- dies department, students may use it as a credit toward their degree in Judaic Stu- dies. Dr. Veit said the Yiddish course was organized in re- sponse to student demands for it. tute Professor at the Weiz- man Institute of Science at Rehovot, has won Columbia University's 1974 Vetlesen Prize in the earth sciences. Columbia President Wil- liam J. McGill said Dr. Pe- keris was cited as "an out- standing pioneer in the ap- plication of advanced beth- ods of applied mathematics to the solution of a wide range of fundamental geolo- gical and geophysical prob- lems." The Vetlesen Prize—a gold medal and $25,000 — recog- nizes - "achievement in the sciences resulting in a clear- er understanding of the earth, its history, or its relation to the universe." It has been called the Nobel Prize of the earth sciences. Dr. Pekeris is known for his studies of convection within the earth, propaga- tion of sound in layered media, tides computed on a global scale and certain properties of the helium atom. His work on the modes of free oscillation of the earth, the Vetlesen jury note d, "will certainly become a clas- sic." He has also worked on the quantum theory of two-atom molecules and the theory of Weizmann Institute, Dr. Pe- keris designed and construct- ed three computers, among the fastest in the world of their type and, the jury stated, "uniquely fitted foi geophysical problems." His classic paper on the "Theory of Propagation of Explosive Sound in Shallow Water" in 1948 guided much later research in seismology, and his calculations of fre- quencies at which the earth vibrates when jarred by earthquakes also provided a foundation for rapid advances in seismological science. In 1959, with an associate at Weizmann institute Dr. Pekeris computed heights and times of the occurance of ocean tides on a global basis and using the computers at the institute. A U.S. citizen, Dr. Pekeris joined the Weizmann Insti- tute as head of its depart- ment of applied mathematics in 1949. He relinquished this post in 1973 when he was honored by the school with the title Distinguished Insti- tute Professor. Born in Lithuania, Dr. Pekeris is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a Guggenheim Fellow from geophysics. In 1941 he be- came a staff member of the Division of War Research at Columbia University and in 1945 he was named director of the university's mathemati- this post until his move to Israel in 1948.
