A bequest to the Jewish National Fund should be as traditional as having a Blue Box in one's home. You may want your bequest to be dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual yahrzeit or /caddish, or to some form of permanent tribute in the names of persons dear to you.

"For the first time," he said, "Western psychoanalysts and scien- tists interested in the un -- conscious were able to meet and exchange views with their Soviet colleagues after many years in which psychoanalysis and the con- cept of the unconscious were considered outside the bounds of Marxist-Lenninst science and practice." The delegates to the symposium took part in round-table discussions with students from Tbilisi and Moscow State Universities. The stu- dents heard of Freudian techniques of psychotherapy far re- moved from anything practiced in the Soviet Union. "The difference is cardi- nal," said Dr. Shevrin. "The Soviet psychotherapist can, and often does, display a great fund of wisdom, skill and empathy in trying to get the patient to under- stand and overcome the causes of his misery or neurotic behavior." "Yet no amount of confi- dence and trust can get at what the patient is not aware of himself. For that we require those psychoanalytic techniques that can enable the patient to discover the conflicts hid- den in his unconscious by re-experiencing them within the framework of the doctor-patient relation- ship."

Challenges the Largest Firms By YITZHAK SHARGIL TEL AVIV (JTA) The revolutionary computer- linked X-ray scanner that won this year's Nobel Prize in medicine for its develop- ers, Allan Cormack of the •U.S. and Godfrey House- field of England, is one of several highly sophisticated electronic diagnostic de- vices manufactured in Is- rael and successfully mar- keted abroad in competition with such giants of the in- dustry as General Electric in the U.S., Siemens of West Germany and Toshiba of Japan. The Elscint Co., located near Haifa, ranks with the world's leading producers of tomographic and nuclear medicine equipment. Machines bearing the trade-mark of the 10-year- old Israeli firm are found in some of America's leading hospitals — Mt. Sinai in New Yor , Temple Univer- sity Hospital' in Pennsyl- vania, the National Insti- tute of Health and Veterans Administration hospitals. Tomography is the X-ray technique that provides three-dimensional pictures of the body's interior. The Cormack-Housefield de- velopment has refined this to produce three- dimensional views of the interior of body organs. That Israel should be in the forefront of this de- velopment is a source of pride but not surprising considering the stress placed on science-based industry and the pool of scientific skills brought here by Jews from all over the world. Much of it is concentrated at the Is- rael Institute of Technol- ogy in Haifa Technion. Dr. Avraham Suhami, the 45-year-old president of Elscint (a contraction for Electronic and Scientific) was born in Turkey, came to Israel as a child and was educated at the Hebrew University and the Techn- ion where he earned his doc- torate in physics and where he taught. His student and assistant is a Moroccan-born Jew, Benjamin Tzabah, who is also a graduate of the Technion and director- general of Elscint. Dr. Re- uben Sinai, who was born in Romania and holds a Ph.D. in mathematics and two Sabras — Yarom Artzi and Dan Ben Ze'ev — both physicists with doctoral de- grees, head Elscint's var- ious departments of re- search and development. Elscint is a place of con- stant activity. Before the production of one item is completed, plans for the second generation or for new items are well ad- vanced. It is a magnet for visiting scientists and technologists. It was one of the two industrial plants that President Anwar Sadat of Egypt visited during his recent tour of the Haifa area.

Strauss to Play Israelite Leader in ABC's 'Masada' By HERBERT G. LUFT (Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.) tress built by King Herod. The script by Joel Oliansky is based on Ernest T. Gann's best selling novel "The Antagonists." It re- tells the story of 960 Jews who struggled against the might of the Roman Legions and held the fortress against all odds until their supplies were cut off and only death or surrender could be their choice. Eli Wallach has been signed for a co-starring role in "The Hunter," a Paramount film about modern-day bounty hunters which - stars Steve McQueen. Wallach portrays the role of a Los Angeles bail bondsman who hires McQueen to track down fugitives. "Masada" is being brought to the screen at actual locations in Israel with Peter Strauss and Peter O'Toole. It is being filmed in the Mount Masada region near the Dead Sea under the direction of Hol- lywood's Boris Sagal. Strauss previously had shown a keen interest in the history of the Jewish state when he went to Jerusalem to discuss with Premier Menahem Begin the possi- bility of portraying the Jewish leader in his earlier days as a freedom fighter. Yet instead of essaying the role of the Irgun leader in his struggle against the British Empire in the 1940s, Strauss now appears as a leader of the Israelites WW II Volume doing battle against the Tells Plight Roman Empire more than of Dutch Jews 1900 years ago.
