The Senate joined the House in overwhelmingly approving House Concurrent Resolution 13, which urges the President and Congress to protest Daoud's release. The resolution was sponsored by House Majority Floor , Leader Joseph Forbes (D-Oak Park) and Speaker Bobby D. Crim (D-Davison). "The release came despite a request from the West German government that Daoud be extradited to stand trial for his alleged part in the Munich massacre," Crim said. "That release, in the words of the resolution, is a blot on international justice and an encouragement of further acts of terror and murder. It was a very regrettable action." Last week, France was sharply condemned by the U.S. Senate for releasing Daoud, and the Carter Administration was urged by the Senate to consult promptly with France and other friendly nations to prevent the recurrence of such an episode. The combined action was taken in a sense-of-the-Senate resolution which was sup- ported by 93 Senators, seven short of the chamber's full membership. The seven members were absent. The resolution was adopted after a 20-minute discussion during which its co- authors — Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey (D. Minn.), Clifford Case (R. NJ) and Jacob K. Javits (R. NY) — denounced France's action as encouragement to terrorists. In related actions, American labor leaders condemned France's action. Separate statements expressing shock and revulsion were issued by Thomas Gleason, International Longshoremen's Association president; Alvin E. Heaps, Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union president; Albert Shanker, Ameri- can Federation of Teachers president; and Bayard Rustin, director of Black Americans-to NEW YORK — The International Support Israel Committee.

Nine years ago, upon earning their doctorates in physics at the University of . Chicago, the two Detroiters, Arthur Greenfield and Nathan Aviezer (Wieser)Ivent on aliya, as Bar-Ilan academics. They were joined by another scholar who was awarded his PhD degree, Marshall Luban. The three assumed their professorial roles at Bar-Ilan and before the end of the decade their devoted efforts have vated the scientific aspirations of university professors in Israel for one, of the te hest attainable marks in the country. The achievements are ascribable to the ccess attained by the Greenfield-Aviezer-Luban team in the planning and com- pletion of the physics building which has merited widest recognition for the ar- chitectural planning and scientific accuracies, for the most impressive factors it incorporates, for teaching and for studies. . Profs. Greenfield, Aviezer and Luban secured a grant of 6,000,000 Israeli Pounds from the Rothschild Foundation in Geneva, in 1970. At the rate of exchange at that time it exceeded $1,800,000. Government and other grants and individual gifts provided the necessary total for this magnificent building which now attracts the attention of scientists, academics and tourists in general from the entire world. Their joint efforts marked the academic partnership that was established by the two Bar-Ilan leaders in physics teaching and research. Greenfield and Aviezer studied at Yeshivath Beth Yehuda, both were graduated from the Detroit school that pioneered in Day School teaching, both pursued their studies under Rabbi Bakst in the Talmud and advanced Jewish courses. Both studied and were graduated from Wayne State University, and pursued - their advanced physics studies at the University of Chicago. Both made research Detroiters Arthur Greenfield and Nathan Aviezer and teaching in Israel their life's work, with physics a specialty that now enchants
