Morphine Equal Found by Koor TEL AVIV — About 65 kilograms of Thebaen has been successfully extracted from three tons of Papaver bracteatum at Plantex Ltd., a member of the Koor Chemicals Division. This successful project has proved that Thebaen is an industrially feasible sub- stitute for morphine. Until now, morphine has been the only known base for the medically important pain- killer, codein, but has also been used to produce the highly dangerous and addic- tive heroin. Thebaen is suitable not only for codein extraction but as the base for drugs used in curing addiction.

He is the master delineator of the occult. His role in describing the mystic gains added empha- sis in his newest work, "A Little Boy in Search of God" (Doubleday). Translated from the Yid- dish by Joseph Singer, "A Little Boy in Search of God" follows a tradition of intro- ducing contemporary Yid- dish literature to non-Jew- ish readers. It is not restricted to his boyhood, the experiences of which are in themselves reminiscent of an age in which the youth were con- fronted by temptations and by doubts. Singer leads his story into his young manhood, with the response to the sexual temptation, the chroni- cling of a love affair with a woman much older and the inevitable agonized ap- proach to the fulfillment of the desires in an awakened sexual passion. The challenges come early, in the years when his father objected to his study of the Kabala at too early an age and the boy's defiance. And there were many other inner conflicts with the attitudes of his favorite authors, those he had read in Yiddish and in Hebrew. From Ira Moskowitz's Photos in Isaac Bashevis Singer's "A Little Boy in Search of God" The Zeitlins, Peretz, Bialik and others; those who were dedicated to faith and the secularists who dominated the literary scene. Perhaps this is less a search for God than it is a testing of the forces who competed for philosophical dominance in the Jewish lit- erary world. As such this work gains special significance. It deals with a boyhood, among the Jews and non-Jews of all ages who are searching for the realistic among the mys- tics. The sex factor in the god-search is a normal form Residents of Home for Aged Host Entertainment Programs The Jewish Home for the Aged's Borman Hall and Prentis Manor have sched- uled special entertainment programs for the residents and their friends and rela- tives 6:30 p.m. - Thursday at both facilities.

As the ac- companying reproductions indicate, the Moskowitz pic- tures which fill this book in the scores may well make "A Little Boy in Search of God" a collector's item for art lovers.
