Detroiters Participate in Maas Technion Dorm Dedication A delegation of 27 De- troiters were joined by prominent Israeli leaders and members of the ad- ministration and faculty of the Technion — Israel Insti- tute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, in dedicating the Be- nard L. Maas Michigan Dormitory on the Technion campus in Haifa. The Michigan record in Technion labors, the sig- nificance of the Technion as a world recognized leader in engineering, science and technology, was em- phasized in the dedication address. Maas also utilized the occasion to pay honor to the memory of one of the major activists for Technion in Detroit, Sam Rich, whose planned participation in the Maas Building dedication was precluded by his death earlier this year. In his address, Maas said: "This is the day I have long looked forward to and I am grateful to the Almighty that I have been spared in health and in strength to come here from DetrOit and to present this dormitory building to Technion I believe in Technion. I believe in its ideals, its programs, its dedicated people who are laboring even in dangerous times, to train young engineers who will contribute to the national needs of Israel. "I believe in the young people who are students here. All my life I have ac- cumulated business profits so that I could give them away as my contribution to the future of the Jewish people. Technion's young people represent a vital part of our future. "Technical education and scientific research centers are conducted here at Technion. They are vital to the future of Israel. The students at Technion need adequate living quarters for them to pursue their engineering studies in safety and security. This Michigan dormitory we are dedicating here will long stand as Detroit's presence where the young men and women of Technion can look down over the Haifa Bay and touch our hands, stretched across the sea. "There is one person who no longer is in this world, who is very much in this dormitory being presented today. Sam Rich of Detroit, who passed away during this year, gave a lifetime of devotion to Technion. In a way, he was the driving spirit that made this day possible, and I know his memory will be blessed by the students who pass within these walls." The delegates from De- troit included: Maas, Benard L. Mass, Jr., Mrs. Ruth Maas, Mrs. Security Precautions Made for Geneva Palestine Parley GENEVA (JTA) --- Secu- rity preparations for the conference on Palestine, scheduled here from Aug. 29 to Sept. 7, has moved into high gear. It was officially announced that 1,720 Swiss soldiers and 1,000 police- men will guard the United Nations complex where the conference will take place. Officially, the army and police are not allowed into the complex itself because it is extra-territorial. How- ever, the gardens around the complex are the prop- erty of the city and thus the army and police can be stationed there. Meanwhile, the Swiss daily, Le Courier, reported that a Neturei Karta dele- gation from Jerusalem will participate as observers at the conference. The sect's spokesman, Rabbi Moshe Hirsch, said the delegation would represent "The Jews from Palestine." He was also quoted as saying. that the delegation would con- demn the "Zionist state." It is understood that the secretariat of the con- ference intends to invite other Israelis, such as lawyer Felicia Langer, who are publicly active on behalf of the Palesti- nians. It was also announced that Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasir Arafat will be attending the conference. According to a UN source, heads of states will_ not be participating, only Foreign Ministers. In a related development, the Detroit News reported that anti-Israel Detroit area Arabs will be taking a mes- sage of pro-Arafatism to the Geneva parley. The 50 delegates will re- present the Federation of Is- lamic Associations in the U.S. and Canada, Inc. The secretary-general of the organization said he plans to present a position paper at the conference which de- clares the PLO to be "the only representative of the Palestinian people." The organization, which has held nongovernmental organization status at the UN for 10 years, said it will attend the conference to "support the Palestinian people's cause of self- determination."
