Meloy and the ec- onomic counsellor Robert 0. Waring, who were mur- dered in Beirut last week. The department issued a brief statement today in response to a report by the Palestinian news agency WAFA that Farouk Khad- doumi had received a mes- sage of thanks from Secre- tary of State Henry A. Kissinger. Khaddoumi is the "foreign minister" of the Palestinine Liberation Or- ganization. The State Department's statement said, "There has been no written communi- cation to the PLO. However, on instructions of the Secre- tary, the American embassy in Beirut has conveyed or- ally, through third parties, to the Palestinian leader- ship, his appreciation for the assistance provided dur- ing the movement of the remains of Ambassador Meloy and Mr. Waring and the evacuation of West Bei- rut." The French newspaper France-Soir reported claims this week that the PLO en- gineered the envoys' mur- ders to "punish the U.S." for "backing" Syrian interven- tion in Lebanon. According to Washing- ton sources, the message was the first communica- tion by the U.S. govern- WORRIED ?? ment to the PLO, directly or indirectly. American policy has been to avoid any official contact with the PLO and according to the State Department that policy remains unchanged. Meanwhile, Kissinger who is presently visiting West Germany, summoned the U.S. ambassadors to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jor- dan and Syria there for a meeting on the situation in Lebanon. Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Yigal Allon sent cables of condolence to President Ford after the murder of the two envoys. -- Israeli sources also dis- An eminent American polymer chemist, and a dis- tinguished Talmudic scholar have been chosen as the 1976 recipients of the Harvey Prize.

TEL AVIV (JTA) .— The last-minute cancellation of the American pavilion at the International Fair on Mod- ern Living which opened Tuesday at the Tel Aviv fair grounds has raised some eyebrows here. It will be the first time the United States has not participated in an interna- tional exposition in Israel. _Notice of the cancellation was received last week and the reasons given were tech- nical. But Elisha Almagor, director general of the fair grounds, said this explana- tion did not seem reasona- ble. • • To your family and friends? There's no need to buy cards, stamps, envelopes and get tired addressing them. It was learned, mean- while, that the U.S. had intended to have a pavilion centered around the Bi- centennial celebrations. But there is a similar exhi- bition at the U.S. Cultural Center here and since the material for the pavilion did not arrive when ex- pected, it was decided to cancel the fair grounds exhibition.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The International Council of Jews and Christians met in Jerusalem, for the first time in the Israeli capital. Prof. Mark played a vi- tal role in transferrring in- formation from the labora- tory to industry, where it was translated into useful manufactured products. He was one of the first to apply X-ray techniques to polymeric materials and biological fibers, and to describe the relationship between structure and properties. Prof. Lieberman is being awarded the prize "in recog- nition of his investigations into the civilizations of the peoples of the Middle East in the Hellenistic and Ro- man periods and of his great and profound commentaries of the sources of Talmudic literature." Each prize bears a cash award of $35,000 and were awarded at special ceremo- nies Wednesday by Israel Pre-§ident Ephraim Katzir. tually disintegrated. Kissinger, during his Paris visit, said he favored French troops as a peace- keeping force in Lebanon "if all factions want this." That proposal was unanimously rejected by all sides earlier this month. * * * Lebanon Refugees Trickle into Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — There are about 100 Le- banese refugees presently in Israel — many of them women and children — who have crossed the border seeking medical help or sim- ply a haven from the bloody warfare going on in their own country. Some of them are stayin with Maronite Christian lk – families in Jish, the largest Maronite village in Israel. Others are in various hospi- tals and clinics. They come to Israel for medical treatment because hospital facilities have bro- ken down in the nearest Lebanese towns — Sidon and Marj Ayoun. The ambulance which served as a make-shift field hospital has been re- placed by a tent to handle more than 30 new arrivals each day. West Bank leaders who want to aid the refugees have been told by Red Cross officials to send cash rather than foodstuffs and medical supplies. They said the Red Cross organization lacked the fa- cilities to move truckloads of supplies to Lebanon across the Rosh Hanikra checkpoint on the Israeli- Lebanese border. 7.nniNit 11 s t i LADIES' TENN LESSONS NON-MEMBER5 WELCOME PROGRAMS FOR BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED PLAYERS ALL AGES , JON HAINLINE TOURNAMENT SCHOOL • 3 Hours per Day • 3 Days per Week • A Must for Serious Players . 5 WEEK SESSIONS BEGIN JULY 6th C A LL 476.6446 Private Lessons Available • • • • CHILDREN'S INTENSIVE CAMP Ages 8 to 18 5 Days-2 Hours Each $32.00 Total through Monday Friday Tarnijngtoqjlacquet Club 22777 FARMINGTON RD., Farmington, Mich. 48024 Phone 476-6448
