The board also voted ap- proval of the formula for distribution of 1975 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund receipts to domestic beneficiaries. The formula allows an increase in the local-operating funds available to Federation ben- eficiaries as well as in total allocations to national agen- cies.

Stanley D. Frankel, asso- ciate chairman of Federa- tion's Education budget and planning Division, pre- sented the Division's recom- mendation for the Hebrew schools. He explained that the costs of teacher compen- sation had somewhat ex- ceeded original budgetary projections. The supplement amounted to about 2 per- cent of the regular budget.

The additional funds for the home are ear- marked to help -subsidize the necessary addition of staff and to correct a defi- cit in the salary and fringe benefits program. Although the home's in- come has substantially in- creased this year, it has not been able to keep pace with the additional expenditures, Dr. Giles noted.

The draft of the $2 million contract, which has been under negotiation for two years, provided that Saudi Arabia would not deny a visa to any member of the work staff or academic per- sonnel, including students, assigned to the project by MIT, regardless of religious affiliation. Prince Mohammed Ibn Faisal, chairman of the Sau- dian Saline Water Conver- sion Corp., balked at signing the contract in Jidda last Thursday because of an al- legedly "threatening letter" he received from Dr. Jerome Wiesner, president of MIT.
