Cameri works with.ports, seas
BY LESLIE SIGAL
Haifa — When the Israel-
ites fled Egypt during the
Exodus, Moses had a help-
ing hand in mastering the
waters and parting the Red
Sea. The Passover holiday
brings to mind several in-
stances of man overcoming
nature's barriers. However,
modern man has had to use
high technology to create
his own sort of `;miracles" in
coping with marine obsta-
cles.
In Israel, technological
research is being conducted
into the development and
engineering of projects re-
lated to Israel's seas and
seashores. At Technion-
Israel Institute of Technol-
ogy, a specialized coastal
and marine engineering re-
search institute, known as
Cameri, is responsible for
the development and plan-
ning of Israel's seashores
and ports.
As a result of a recently
completed Cameri research
project, a newly built off-
shore unloading terminal
now permits large tonnage
ships to unload coal in deep
water. The first of its kind in
the world, the unprotected
off-shore terminal extends
one mile into the Mediter-
ranean Sea.
The terminal is connected
with the new coal-fired
power station at Hadera
near Haifa. The research
included pollution analysis
studies in view of possible
coal spillage and its trans-
port by waves and wind. As
relatively few storms shake
the coast of the Mediterra-
nean bordering the Israeli
coast line, it is ideal for the
development of offshore
terminals.
Cameri has also com-
pleted an in-depth investi-
gation in cooperation with
the Israel Ports Authority
for the expansion of the port
of Ashdod. Currently Is-
rael's second largest port,
after its expansion Ashdod
will be the largest port in
Israel. The object of the ex-
pansion was to provide piers
and mooring services for
coal unloading, according to
associate professor Hillel
Rubin, director of Cameri.
studies anywhere in the
world. The fields of activity
encompassed by Cameri are
diverse, including coastal
protection, reclamation and
development, analysis of
anchoring and mooring sys-
tems, solar pond research
and stability of sea
structures.
Cameri's
research
facilities and equipment are
all located on the Technion
campus. Its main testing
hall is equipped with an in-
door wave basin capable of
reproducing natural waves
as well as generating
synthetic waves of chosen
shape. A 24-meter wave
flume creates high waves,
and a wind-wave channel is
equipped with a blower for
variable wind velocities. A
45-meter-long towing tank
is used for testing scale
models of ships.
Sophisticated microcom-
puters are used to activate
the wave generators and
gather and process the
measurements, while other
computerized systems proc-
ess the acquired data. Cam-
eri maintains its own elec-
tronics laboratory for in-
strumentation, a fine
mechanics workshop and a
photographic laboratory,
adding to its impressive list
of facilities.
Because the nature of
Cameri's work is interdisci-
plinary, researchers main-
tain close contacts with sci-
entists and engineers in
fields such as oceanog-
raphy, marine chemistry
and geology. Naturally,
Cameri has established on-
going working relations to
Technion's specialized
areas of water resources,
sturctural engineering,
metallurgy and physics.
As part of Technion's
commitment to fostering
and supporting high
technological research,
Cameri is able to continue
tackling, the problems of
coastal and marine de-
velopments in Israel. Cam-
eri's research plays an im-
portant role in aiding '
numerous facets of indus-
try, trade and commerce.

Youths remove Texas posters
New York (JTA) — Teen-
age Jewish students In Cor-
pus Christi, Texas sys-
tematically tore down and
destroyed anti-Vatican
posters that had been plas-
tered all over the south
Texas port city of 200,000.
Their action, over a three-
day period last month, was
reported by the National
Catholic News Service
(NCNS).
Many of the posters car-
ried offensive messages
similar to the cannards used
by anti-Semites against
Jews. They accused the Vat-
ican of controlling the
media to "exalt and exoner-
ate themselves from crimes
they have done and are cur-
rently doing."
"It reminds me of the
Nazis and the Holocaust,"
one student was quoted as
saying by the NCNS. An-
other student, Laura Hop-
kins, 15, said "Whoever is
doing this is not only hurt-
ing the Christian commu-
nity but the whole city as
well."

NCCJ hits
anti-Catholic
posters in U.S.
New York — Jacqueline
G. Wexler, president of the
National Conference of
Christians and Jews, has
condemned the wave of
anti-Catholic prejudice
which recently has occurred
in the Midwest, South and
Southwest.
In a statement released
from the NCCJ national
office, Mrs. Wexler said that
posters reminiscent of the
anti-Catholic hate prop-
aganda of the 1920s have
appeared on vacant build-
ings, utility poles, stores
owned by Catholic business
people and Catholic
churches in a number of
United States cities.
She said that reports filed
by NCCJ executive di-
rectors in several geo-
graphic areas of the country
reveal that the posters — of
unknown origin — bear a
"warning" that the major
communications media of
the nation are controlled by
the Vatican, which uses
magazines and television
networks to exonerate
"crimes" and to "smear and
malign."
Israeli women
enter workforce
Tel Aviv (ZINS) — A full
40 percent of the female
population in Israel was
employed in 1983, accord-
ing to 'a survey by the Cen-
tral Statistics Bureau.
The survey revealed that
an additional 30 percent of
the female population
sought work but was unable
to find suitable jobs.
