Prominent British Jews are Guarded
After New Terrorist Plot is Discovered
LONDON (JTA) — Police
are guarding prominent
British Jews after the dis-
covery last week of a plot to
kill or kidnap them.
The Jews were included in
a list of top people found
together with an arms cache
in a West London flat.
The arms cache was said-
to he the property of a
South American named
"Carlos Martinez." Police
and forensic experts are
looking for more clues in
the Bayswater apartment
where the arms were found.
Meanwhile, security for
the Marks and Spencer fam-
ily was stepped up because
of a possible link with the
1973. shooting of its presi-
dent, J. Edward Sieff.
One of the guns discov-
ered in the arms haul was
a nine millimeter pistol—
the same caliber as that
used by the man who burst

into Sieff's home and shot
him in the face. Sieff, 69,
recovered, but his assail-
ant was not caught.
A Marks and Spencer of-
ficial would not comment
about the possibility of
"Carlos" being the man who
shot their president. But he
said all members of the
family were aware of the se-
curity situation.
It was recalled that the
terrorist Leila Khaled
warned in a BBC television
documentary on terrorism
that Arab gangs had "a list
of prominent Jews" in the
Diaspora "which did not
just include the Sieffs and
the Rothschilds."
Martin Savitt, chairman
of the defense and group re-
lations committee of the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews, told the JTA that he

ties on this matter.
Savitt said that they are
advising members of the
Jewish community in Brit-
ain to observe standing in-
structions on security ar-
rangements.
Weizmann Institute Gets Grant
for Research on Reproduction
REHOVOT — A $1 mil-
lion five-year grant for re-
ties of well-defined anti-
bodies.
With the aid of sophisti-
cated "chemical relaxation"
techniques, he measured the
ability of the "pocket" to
capture and hold a large
number of closely related,
but chemically. different
substances.
By varying his experi-
mental molecules, Dr. Pecht
could deduce significant
facts about the size and
chemical nature of the com-
bining site, as well as about
the conformational changes
in the antibody triggered by
antigen binding.

Meanwhile, a new ap-
proach to investigating
how antibodies combine
with antigens has been
reported by Dr. Israel
Pecht of the chemical im-
munology department.
The action of antibodies is
essential to the body for
fighting invading bacteria
or viruses and for neutral-
izing harmful substances
entering the body.
Supported by a grant
from the Volkswagen Foun-
dation of the Federal Re-
public of Germany, Dr.
Pecht and his co-workers
examined the biologically
active combining sites or
"pockets" in several varie-
cently met in Tiberias, on
the Sea of Galilee, with
the participation of 150
scientists, 90 of them from
the United States, Europe
and Australia.
The meeting dealt with
the relationship between
cellular structure and im-
mune reactions, touching
upon the following general
topics: foetal development
of the immune response;
characteristics of surface
membranes of cells involved
in immune response; and
the interrelationship be-
tween these cells, the mech-
anism by which they recog-
nize the antigens that
trigger immune response,
immunity and cancer.
Technion Approves 1975-76 Budget
HAIFA — The interna-
tional board of governors of
the Technion — Israel Insti-
tute of Technology unani-
mously approved a $34.3
million overall budget for
1975-76.
A separate $3 million
budget was also approved
for the Technion Medical
School.
The board of governors,
composed of more than 100
representatives and observ-
ers from nine countries,
tacked a resolution onto the
formal budget presentation
severely criticizing the Is-
rael Government for delay-
ing appropriation of devel-
opment funds, and for its
refusal to rescind a nation-
wide freeze on construction
which is seriously hamper-
ing the expansion of labora-
tory and classroom facilities
at the institute.
The board also formally
accepted the annual report
delivered to the Technion's
highest policy-making body
by President Major General
(Res.) Amos Honey. In vot-
ing its unanimous approval
of the document, the board
noted that the report "re-
flects a year of growth,
progress and development."
