Jewish people, a feeling
which he claimed has
dangerously faded out in
some Jewish communities.
Addressing the congress
as he took over the chair-
manship from Yitzhak Ko-
ren, Abramov said that not
only has there been a con-
stant erosion in recent years
in the recognition of Israel's
centrality but also what he
termed an undermining of
the spiritual infrastructure
of Zionism and Israel.
He said there are well-
known Jewish intellec-
tuals who claim that
Zionism has not solved
the Jewish problem and
that the state of Israel has
not solved the problem of
anti-Semitism. In addi-
tion, he noted that there
is no rush on the part of
Jews to make aliya.
He said it is up to the Is-
raeli Executive of the World
Jewish Congress to reverse
this attitude by building
bridges to Diaspora Jewry
and improving the image of
Israel in the eyes of world
Jewry. Efforts would also be
made to make Israelis
understand the life of Dias-
pora Jewry and their prob-
lems, and not to regard
them solely as sources of
funds, he said.

studies for one day, it will

PHILADELPHIA (JTA)
— The University of
Pennsylvania (UP) has re-
jected the offer of a grant
from the Libyan-financed
Arab Development Insti-
tute (ADI) because it failed
to provide safeguards
against discrimination,
ideological advocacy and
the free dissemination of re-
search results.
The offer, which included
$180,000 in first year fund-
ing, was for the develop-
ment of a curriculum for
Middle Eastern history and
culture for American high
schools and the study of Li-
byan institutions.
The university was com-
mended by the Philadelphia
chapter of the American
Jewish Committee for un-
dertaking to develop
guidelines to deal with
propaganda oriented grants
from oil-rich Arab states.
The ADI offer was
turned down on the basis
of interim guidelines
drafted last June and
now under study by a
special university com-
mittee for finalization.
Specifically, according to
the review committee's
chairman, economics pro-
fessor Irving Kravis, the Li-
byan government refused to
confirm ADI's verbal assur-
ances that Jewish personnel
participating in the projects
would be admitted to Libya.
The Libyan Embassy in
Washington subsequently
informed the committee
that official Libyan policy is
not to issue visas to Jews.
The interim guidelines
against which the pro-
posals were measured
called for specific assur-
ances to protect the inde-
pendence of UP faculty,

UFO Sighting

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
number of early risers in
Jerusalem could have
sworn Wednesday morning
that a number of uniden-
tified flying objects paid a
first visit to the Holy City.
A sleepy Jerusalem duty
officer in the Jerusalem dis-
trict police received excited
phone calls at 4 a.m. from
citizens who saw "large and
strange blue light" over the
Mount of Olives, on the
eatern hills of the city.
At first, the police officers
tended to dismiss the com-
plaints as mere dreams, but
when they themselves went
outside, they joined millions
all over the world who fol-
lowed last weekend's UFO
scare in New Zealand. They
too saw objects flying over
the hills, and could not tell
what they were.
Somebody who did not
want to take any chance
quickly notified the air
force and the meteorolog-
ical service station, but
apparently no military
action was taken.
There was no immediate
explanation for the phe-
nomenon, but it was as-
sumed that the source of
light was merely a bright
star.

to avoid any jeopardy to
the university commit-
ment to the principles of
academic freedom and
non-discrimination, to
protect research from
parochial or ideological
advocacy, to assure the
bona fides of students as
devoted primarily to
academic purposes and
meeting normal aca-
demic standards, and
certification by the deans
of the schools involved
endorsing both the aca-
demic worthiness of the
proposal and a judgment
that school priorities jus-
tify any costs, direct or
indirect.
Last spring, Swarthmore
and Haverford Colleges
abandoned a joint plan for
Arab studies when it was
disclosed that the $590,000
financing came from Adnan
Khashoggi, a Saudi arms
broker implicated in a cor-
porate bribery attempt.
