an interest in his surround-
ings.
With the exception of his
memory which has not yet
been restored, Zar reached
the state of health that war-
ranted his release. The
problem was however that
he refused to leave. He had
no family that he knew of
and he had found the
warmth and comfort of
what he had come to consid-
er his true home.
Sherut Nashim Sotziali de-
cided to accept him, not as
a ward but as a productive
member of the hospital fam-
ily. Zar was taught to type
and-to file and today he pro-
duces a full day's work for
a full day's pay.

Almogi Is Hopeful Htbrew U. Devises
for Romania Jews New Spectrometer
TEL AVIV (JTA )—Yosef
Almogi, chairman of the-
Jewish Agency- and World
Zionist Organization Execu-
tives, returned from a visit
to Romania and said he had
high hopes that some 50,000
Romanian Jews would be al-
lowed to be reunited with
their families in Israel.
Almogi said that Jews
were treated well in Ro-
mania, but almost every
Jew had a relative in Israel
and the majority Of. Roma-
nian Jews wanted to make
aliya. However, he noted
that the number of exit per-
mits is not as high as Jews
would like.

JERUSALEM—A spec-
trometer, the most ad-
vanced of its kind, devel-
oped and built at the Hebr-
ew- University of Jerusa-
lem, has recently been.
installed in the large ther
monuclear device of the Eu-
ropean Center for Ther-
monuclear Research, in
Paris.
The work was done in the
Laboratory for X-ray and
Far Ultra-Violet Spectrosco-
py in the Racah Institute of
Physics at the Hebrew Uni-
versity.
A spectrometer is an in-
strument that -absorbs radi-
ation emitted from atoms,
as a result of electronic
transitions, and records the
radiation in lines arranged
by wave length. Maximum
precision in this recording
is vital in thermonuclear re-
search, one of the areas
being explored today for
new ways of creating
energy.
Scientists hope that even-
tually, perhaps in a few dec-
ades, they will succeed in
developing methods en-
abling mankind to use ther-
monuclear energy, as the
main source of power.
Canadian Zionists
Will Support Begin
MONTREAL (JTA)—The
Canadian Zionist Fede•-
ation proclaimed "its full
support for the new govern-
ment that will assume
power when it gains the con-
- fidence of the demon-
cratically and con-
stitutionally elected parlia-
ment of Israel."
That position was adopted
in the -form of a resolution
approved by some 100 dele-
gates at the close of a two-
day meeting of the national
executive of the Canadian
Zionist Federation in To-
ronto.
The resolution added that
"we shall continue to put
forth every effort to assist
the state in its attempts to
achieve a just and lasting
peace with its neighbors
based on justice, equity and
honor. We call upon all
Jews and citizens of good-
will to join us in this great
and 'noble task."
tions themselves. A total of
62 per cent of the rabbis
were in favor of according
women equal rights with
men on aliyot, whereas
only 37 per cent of the con-
gregations actually called
women to the Torah on an
equal basis with men.
Regarding the counting - of
women as members of a
minyan, 56 per cent of the
responding rabbis favored
such a procedure whereas
only 39 per cent of the con-
