Weizmann U. Prof to Head
Molecular Biologists ' Group

REHOVOT, Israel —
P'rof. Michael Sela, head of
the chemical immunology
department at Israel's Weiz-
mann Institute of Science,
has been elected chairman
of the European Molecular
Biology Organization.
Sixteen Israelis, including
the president of the state,
Prof. Ephraim Katzir, are
the only scientists from out-
side Europe in EMBO,
whose members are chosen
on the basis of their individ-
ual achievements in . rnolecu-
lar biology.
EMBO activities include
the sponsorship of confer-
ences and workshops, the
awarding of fellowships
and, most recently, the es-
tablishment of a European
center for research on mole-
cular biology in Heidelberg,
West Germany. These pro-
grams, decided upon by the
250 member-scientists, are
financed by the govern-
ments of Western Europe
and of Israel, each of which
contributes a fixed percen-
-tage Of their gross national
product.
Prof. Sela, who occupies
the W. Garfield Weston
Chair of Immunology at
the Weizmann Institute, is
known for his contribution
to . immunochemical stud-

ies on the molecular struc-
ture of antigens and the
immune response, which
led to the development of
synthetic antigens and
permitted a better under-
standing of the genetic
basis of antibody forma-
tion.
Meanwhile, • the purple
membrane of a salt-loving
bacterium found in the
brackish lagoons around
San Francisco Bay is now
under investigation by
Weizmann Institute scien-
tists because of its unique
ability to transforn-i light
energy into metabolic en-
ergy in a direct manner, far
simpler than the compli-
cated enzymatic process of
photosynthesis.
Spurred by the current
energy crisis, Prof. Roy Ca-
plan and his group in the in-
stitute's laboratory of,mem-
branes and bioregulation,
headed by Prof. Ora Kedem,
have turned their attention
to this seemingly unconven-
tional source of power, in
search of more efficient
means for utilizing the sun's
energy.
The project, although still
in its infancy, has recently
received support from the
German Government's Of-
fice for_Science and Tech-
nology, obtained through .
the Israel National Council
for Research and Develop-
ment.

AJCommittee Defines Priorities
in Serving Jewish Community

CORONADO, Calif. —
The American Jewish Com-
mittee will address itself to
four priority activities in the
coming year, according to
Bertram H. Gold, AJCom-
mittee vice president.
In the keynote speech to
the committee's Western
Regional Conference here,
Gold listed these priorities
as: protection and enhance-
ment of Jewish security in
the U.S.; intensified efforts
to help secure a just and
lasting -peace in the Middle
East; concern for the wel-
fare of Jews around the
world, including the Soviet
Union, Syria, Western Eu-
rope and Latin America;
and efforts to allay the fear
and despair now prevalent
among Jews, especially in
regard to the position of Is-
rael.
In an overall review of
American Jewish life' since
the end of World War II:
Gold noted that the group
had passed-through two sep-
arate stages and was em-
barking on a third.
He charicterized the
mid-40s to the mid-60s as a
"golden age," during
which Jews enjoyed a
surge of "upward mobility
and the virtual end of ov-
ert anti-Semitism."
The seven - years frony1968
to 1974, he said, were
clouded by the emergence of
a series of problems includ-
ing "affirmative actiqp and
quOtas, community e5ntrol,
the new politics, the frag-
mentation and polarization
of group life in America, the
rise of Arab power, and the
isolation of Israel." This
period, he pointed out, also
saw a revival of Jewish con.:
sciousnefts, marked by the
rise of Jewish student move-
ments, increased stress on
Jewish education, and a
more-than-ever united con-
cern for the security of Is-,
rael.
In 1975, he stated, "we
face a new stage — a transi-
tional stage during which
the shape of the late 70'S
and 80's ?Jill be deter-
mined." The thrust of this
new period, he continued,
should be an effort to
"return to something ap-
proaching the good years,
while strengthening our
newly acquired group ident-
ity."
In approaching this new
period, he said, AJCommit-
tee will follow a two-fold
course — "continued corn-

mitment ,to the existence of
Israel and vigilance in the
protection of Jewish secu-
rity around the world, com-
bined with concern for the
needs of other groups in our
society and the needs of the
society itself."
Gold identified seven ma-
jor trends that, he said,
would influence and shape
Committee's programs in
the year ahead.
He listed these trends
as: the deteriorating eco-
nomic situation; increas-
ing isolation of Israel; new
perspectives on anti-Semi-
tism; continuing problems
of Jews around the world;
increasing legitimacy of
group identity, group com-
petition and pluralism;
new developments in polit-
ical democracy; and the
strengthening of Jewish
identity.
•Among the specific activi-
ties to which he pledged AJ-
Committee support were:
the development of a na-
tion4policy regarding Arab
investments in the United
States, and the prohibition
of discriminating practices
and secondary boycotts as
the price for Arab money;
the creation of broad coali-
tions that will help expand
American economy and
thereby decrease social ten-
, sjons and intergroup con-
. flicts; and the dissemination
of factual information con-
cerning American interests
in the Middle East.
