Bar-Ilan U. Prof. Finds Degree of Stress Heart Can Tolerate
RAMAT-GAN — A re-
cent breakthrough in labo-
ratory tests now points the
way to finding out how
much stress the heart can
Seilitaty
take. The new method, it is
believed, can help prevent
and cure many heart at-
tacks and diseases.

recently by Dr. Joseph
Kedem, senior lecturer in
physiology at Bar-Ilan, Is-
rael's only religious oriented
university, located outside
of Tel Aviv.
Dr. Kedem, formerly Jo-
seph Krupnick of Chicago,
says that it is possible to
measure the degree of stress
which a heart is undergoing
or can tolerate by measur-
ing the proportions of glu-
cose and fatty acids which it
consumes through its blood
circulation.
He used this yardstick
successfully at Bar-Ilan in
laboratory tests on dogs,
an animal whose physiol-
ogical reactions have gen-
erally proved very similar
to humans.
Dr. Kedem discovered
that a 50-50 balance be-
Soviet Pilots Get
Low Evaluation
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
raeli fighter pilots gained a
low opinion of the profes-
sional competence of their
Soviet counterparts, at least
as of six years ago, when
outnumbered Israeli jets
downed five Soviet MIG-21s
in a dogfight over the Gulf
of Suez during the height of
the war of attrition with
Egypt. They found the Rus-
sians poorly trained and
clumsy in combat.
The first report of the
encounter, by one of the Is-
raeli pilots who participated
in it, was published in the
Air Force magazine. His
opinions were shared by
other Israeli pilots and sen-
ior Air Force officers.
ZOA Will Hold
Confab in Israel
NEW YORK — The 80th
national convention of the
Zionist Organization of
America will take place July
6-13 in Israel.
Leon Ilutovich, national
executive director of the
ZOA, noted that the official
opening of the convention
would take place in the 3,-
000 seat, Convention Center
in Jerusalem.
Highlights-of the conven-
tion, according to Ilutovich,
will include a public session
in Mann- Auditorium in Tel
Aviv, an artistic evening in
the open-air Roman Theater
at Caesarea, and a day at
the ZOA Kfar Silver Cam-
pus near Ashkelon.
Iraqi Authorities'
Refuse to Release
Aaronson's Body
AMSTERDAM (JTA) —
The Iraqi authorities have
refused to hand over the
body of Alexander Aaron-
son, the Dutch Jew executed
last December, or even to let
his mother see his remains.
Mrs. Aaronson has re-
turned to Holland from a
two-week stay in Baghdad
where she tried to obtain
permission to bring her
son's remains to Amster-
dam for burial.
She was not allowed to
see either the body or any of
her son's personal belong-
ings and was given only
three rings, including his
wedding ring, which he
wore at the time of his exe-
cution.
tween the consumption of
glucose and fatty acids by
the heart shows a generally
healthy heart which can
stand normal stress.
The heart's well-being
and tolerance to stress,
however, declines in propor-
tion to the increase in its
consumption of fatty acids
as compared with glucose.
The proportion is deter-
mined by analyzing the
blood's content before it en-
ters the heart and after
leaving it. This can be mea-
sured in humans by several
methods none of which re-
quires surgery.
The most immediate ap-
plication of this discovery,
and the primary reason Dr.
Kedem began his experi-
ments, is to improve treat:
ment for congestive heart
failure, a disease that gener-
ally occurs while the patient
is recovering from a heart
attack.
JPS Honors
Author, Scholar
NEW YORK — Dr. Solo-
mon Grayzel, noted Jewish
scholar and author, -was
honored on the occasion of
his 80th birthday at a lunch-
eon held in Philadelphia by
the Jewish Publication So-
ciety of America.
Dr. Grayzel, editor emeri-
tus of JPS and a member of
the society's publication
committee, served as JPS
editor from 1939 to 1966,
following a career in teach-
ing and the rabbinate. Dur-
ing that time JPS published
Grayzel's "History of the
Jews" and "A History of the
Contemporary Jews," which
are still widely used texts
throughout the English-
speaking world.
Foremost among his edi-
torial achievements was the
initiation of a modern tran-
slation of the Hebrew Bible
and the publication of the
new JPS translation of "The
Torah," prepared by a com-
mittee of world-famous
Jewish scholars, in 1962.
This same committee, origi-
nally assembled by Dr.
Grayzel, is currently com-
pleting a new translation of
"The Prophets" to be pub-
lished by JPS in 1977.
