Approved unanimously
by the committee, the
measure introduced by Rep.
Joshua Eilberg (D-Pa.)
would provide the first
funds ever specifically
designated for the Justice
Department to use exclu-
sively to denaturalize and
deport war criminals, Eil-
berg pointed out.
The measure is expected
to go to the full House
within the next few weeks
as part of the Congressional

REHOVOT — With in-
creasing numbers of
antibiotic-resistant strains
of bacteria challenging
medical ingenuity, doctors
are seeking radically new
approaches to combat infec-
tious diseases, and recent
studies at the Weizmann
Institute of Science may
provide one such weapon.
Institute researchers
have found a family of sub-
stances which interfere
with the ability of certain
bacteria to colonize tissues
by preventing their adher-
ence and in some cases help-
ing to displace the cells from
the tissue. The free floating
germs are then disposed of
by the body's natural elimi-
nation processes.
Prof. David Mirelman
and Prof. Nathan Sharon of
the Institute's Department
of Biophysics, and Dr. It-
zhak Ofek, a visiting scien-
tist from the Hebrew Uni-
versity Hadassah Medical
School in Jerusalem, have
found that simple, non-toxic
derivatives of the sugar
mannose prevents several
kinds of bacteria.
In implementing the rela-
tionship, Bnai Brith will
appoint observers to the
governing bodies of the
WJC; two observers to the
Executive, three to the Gov-
erning Board and four to the
General Council. Although
the observers will lack vot-
ing rights, they will have a
voice in all WJC delibera-
tions.
the Justice Department, di-
recting that some $2 million
in Immigration and
Naturalization Service
(INS) funds be set aside for
investigation and litigation
in Nazi war criminal cases,
according to a spokesman
for Eilberg.
The legislator himself
said he proposed earmark-
ing these funds to guaran-
tee that sufficient money is
available in the Justice De-
partment to cover the grow-
ing number of war crimi-
nals (-lases.
Eilberg told his col-
leagues on the Judiciary
Committee that presently,
155 cases are in various
stages of investigation, and
12 are in litigation. He said
prosecution in 13 additional
cases bas been recom-
mended by the INS' Nazi
War Crimes Unit, with for-
mal denaturalization and
deportation proceedings to
get under way "in the near
future."

Trifa Case
Shifted to
Washington
The case of the United
States against Romanian
Archbishop Valerian Trifa
has been shifted from the
U.S. Attorney's Office in
Detroit to the special litiga-
tion unit of the Immigration
and Naturalization Service.
The case against Trifa,
which has been pending
since late 1976, is still in the
investigation stage accord-
ing to trial attorney Eugene
Thirholf Jr. of the INS in
Washington.
Thirhold said the gov-
ernment is filing additional
pleadings in the case and
preparing a "discovery"
schedule. He could not es-
timate when the case will be
tried.
Trifa is accused of lying
when he applied to im-
migrate to the U.S. and
when he applied for U.S.
citizenship. The govern-
ment is charging him
with concealing his Nazi
ties.
Jewish groups allege that
Trifa was a leader of the fas-
cist Iron Guard student
group that led a pogrom in
Bucharest in 1941.
