at the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel, were marked by
discussions and analyses
in which world leaders
and political office aspir-
ants participated, culmi-
nated in major decisions
for expanded public rela-
tions programs to assure
Israel's security and
mass enrollment of
American Jews in Zionist
related programs.
Dr. Joseph Sternstein,
who was re-elected ZOA
president, in his keynote
address to the convention
warned of possible dan-
gers - in effecting
American-Israel policies
and pointed to .possible
dangers of reductions in
American-Israel rela-
tions and urged caution
and vigilance by Israel's
defenders in assuring
that pledges made by as-
pirants to the highest of-
fices in the land not de-
viate from established
policies.
General Arik Sharon,
the hero of the Yom Kip-
pur War, expressing pes-
simism over future delib-
erations, made an earnest
appeal to American Jews
to be firm in their position
and to avoid pitfalls.
Confidence was expres-
sed in the friendships ef-
fected in both houses of
Congress and Congres-
sional action was judged
as most vital to Israel in
the aim of assuring a con-
tinuation of strength in
the future.
The convention was
especially concerned with
the need for added em-
phasis on aliya. General
Sharon's plea for larger
Jewish immigration to Is-
rael from the United
States and Canada re-
ceived equal emphasis
from Joseph Almogi,
chairman of the Jewish
Agency, Leon Dulzin,
treasurer of the Jewish
Agency and a leader of
the Liberal Party and the
World Federation of Gen-
eral Zionists.
Renewed emphasis was
placed on enrollment of
youth in the. ZioniSt
movement and added
support was assured for
Masada, the ZOA youth
movement, with appeals
for formation of Zionist
youth groups throughout
the land.
Dulzin and Rabbi Ale-
xander Schindler, chair-
man of the Conference of
Presidents, basically ag-
reed that Diaspora Jewry
has a right to be con-
sulted about issues af-
fecting Israel.
Torczyner,
Jacques
member of the Jewish
Agency and a former ZOA
president, warned of ero-
sions in organized Ameri-
can Jewish ranks and
warned against the di-
minution of the influence
of the Conference of Pres-
idents of Major American
Jewish Organizations in
trends to form local coun-
cils which may unduly
compete with the activities
of the major conference of
heads of all national
Jewish organizations.
In his address to the
convention Torczyner
DR. STERNSTEIN
said, "The World Zionist
Organization has for far
too long neglected public
information and political
activities in support of
the state of Israel."
He added that the
"whole problem of the
Palestinians would have
been presented to the
world differently if the
WZO had worked closely
in each country with the
Jewish community and
the official representa-
tive of the state of Israel."
Messages to the con-
vention by President
Gerald Ford and Democ-
ratic Presidential candi-
date Jimmy Carter af-
firmed the strong posi-
tions taken by both the
Republican and Democ-
ratic parties in Israel's
defense.
Their statements re-
ceived added emphasis in
convention addresses by
the Vice Presidential
candidates, Robert Dole
and Walter Mondale.
(See Commentary, Page 2)
Mondale criticized the
Ford Administration's
policy towards Israel and
the Arab boycott, and re-
- called "the unfair scold-
ing of Israel" after the
failure to reach the dis-
engagement agreement
with Egypt in March
1975.
He also pointed to the
Administratin's opposi-
tion to aid for Israel for the
transitional quarter. Mon-
dale also noted the
supplies of "unlimited"
arms to Saudi Arabia and
other Arab countries by
the Administration.
Dole pledged that the
U.S. will never jeopardi
Israel's security.
asked that friends of
rael should not quest
American efforts to
friends among the A
saying the U.S. is wo
toward a resolution of the
conflict in the Middle
East that is acceptable
and beneficial to all par-
ties.
An important state-
ment, at a special gifts
luncheon on Friday, by
former Assistant Secret-
ary of State Joseph J.
Sisco pointed to improved
conditions which will en-
able the U.S. to be in a
position of promoting
peace negotiations in the
Middle East.
In the course of his ad-
dress, Sisco stated that he
felt 1977 would see "a
strong Israel, weakened
Soviet influence, divided
Arab nations and an
America which is accept-
able to both sides. -
Preceding the address
by Senator Dole, Presi-
dent Sternstein con-
demned the Commerce
Department's failure to
act against • the Arab
boycott. He demanded that
the U.S. refuse to sit in the
UN Security Council as
long as bandits from Libya
are accorded the chair-
manship of the Council.
In his address, Sterns-
tein described the boycott
of Israel and Jewish firms
as "the critical litmus test
of support for American
Jewry and the state of Is-
rael."
New Chick Pea Strain Found
JERUSALEM L-- A
team of Israeli scientists
headed by Dr. Gideon
Ladizinsky of the Hebrew
University's Faculty of
Agriculture in Rehovot
has discovered the wild
strain from which culti-
vated chick peas (humus)
developed.
The new strain, found
during a research survey
in Turkey, has been
named "Cicer re-
ticulatum Ladizinsky."
Chick peas are an impor-
tant crop in many lands of
Asia, East Africa, North
Africa and Southern
Europe, serving as an es-
sential food source. But
despite its importance,
not much research has
been done on the chick
pea and its source has
been unknown. •
The chick pea was cho-
sen as a model for re-
search begun in 1973 with
the help of the Truman Re-
search Institute at the
Hebrew University. Wild
species of chick pea grow-
ing in the Middle East
were surveyed in the
course of this research.
Among seeds of chick
pea species collected dur-
-
ing a survey in Turkey, a
new, previously unknown
type turned up. Compari-
son of the seed's protein -
profile with that of the
cultured varieties hinted
at a possible connection
between them. Cross-
breeding tests and the
behavior of hybrids con-
firmed that the reticu-
lated chick pea is the wild
ancestor of the cultured
pea.
Requests for seeds
have come in from re-
search centers all over
the world.
Fishers at Dinner

Philanthropist - indus-
trialist Max Fisher and

University in the capital.
