The Weizmar.nPasteur project is a private venture but, Mrs. Veil said, it is being conducted within the framework of e x i s t i n g Franco-Israeli scientific agreements. Nobel Prize winner Francois Jacob said the two institutes would be investigating the relation between embryonic and cancerous cells and study the organic substances which stimulate the production of antibodies. Another Nobel Prize Laureate, Prof. Andre Lwoff, said the two institutions will work separately on complimentary projects. He announced that the two organizations will draw equal shares from the projected fund drive and expressed the hope that all people will realize the importance of the study.
Jews Buy Land TEL AVIV (ZINS) - The local news media report an extraordinary and paradoxical phenomenon. Although all formulas for "peace" call for Israel to relinquish the "occupied" Arab territories, Jews keep buying land there in i n c r e a s i n g m e a s u r e through all sorts' of middlemen. The traffic in real estate has even spawned a handful of Arab swindlers who "sold" land that they never owned using forged documents. In certain sections where the buying is heaviest the understanding is that some sort of Jewish settlement is intended.

Anti-Boycott NEW YORK - President Carter's statement endorsing an agreement on amendments to the Senate anti-boycott bill between the Business Itoundtabie and three national Jewish organizations was hailed by the Jewish croups as underscoring a '"broad national consensus in support of effective anti-boycott legislation. " In a joint statement, the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress and Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith thanked the President for his "strong support" of the legislation, expressed appreciation to the Senate and House Committees for working out its provisions and looked forward to final Senate action "as soon as possible."

Let's Take A Walk Sunday is the big day for UJA. "We Walk As One" is the slogan for this year's Walkathon, and if early reports of behind-the-scenes activity are any guide, this should really be a big show. Several hundred members of the Jewish community are expected to don comfortable shoes and seasonal clothing for the jaunt from Temple Israel to the Jewish Community Center. Most of the walkers vvlii have sponsors '-good contributors to the cause of Israel. The sponsors have joined with the walkers in this novel and healthy fund-raising drive. The day begins with registration from 9 to 10 a.m., and ends when it ends with refreshments and funattheJCC. Have a nice day. Join the walk and enjoy!

l p r p ^ i ^ t a the Middle; East fumbled dangerously In 1947,1957 and 1967. Today, the United States is once again under pressure to repeat past blunders. Hopefully, we will not. 1847 The UN, which began Its inquiry 30 years ago this month, recommended the establishment of a Jewish state and an Arab state In Palestine. Israel accepted, but Arab states invaded Palestine, seeking to liquidate the Jewish state and to divide all of Palestine for themselves. At a cost of 6,000 lives, almost one percent of her population, Israel defeated the Arabs. But Jordan seized the West Bank and Egypt grabbed Gaza. The State Department had sabotaged the Partition Resolution, encouraging Arab resistance by proposing the substitution of a UN trusteeship, which was rendered obsolete by Israel's military victory. Later the Arabs demanded all the territory they might have had under the original UN Partition Resolution if they had not gone to war. And the State Department constantly, tried to sever the Negev from Israel, which would have reduced her to a handkerchief state. 1957

A number of the splinter groups on the extreme loft, all Utopian believers that peace will come only if the Israelis will be reasonable, have organized under the name of Shell. Heading their list are Liova Ellav, a former fairhaired boy of Labor, Melr Pall, who inherited what was left of the Communist party, Uri Avnerl, the maverick magazine publisher, and Saadia Marclano, one of the original Black Panthers. The Religious Bloc, which has. managed to be part of almost every coalition government since the establishment of the state, is this time fighting for Its life. It has published a special newspaper supplement describing all the dreadful things which could happen if a secular coalition came into power, and the Jewish aspects of the Jewish' slate were reduced or rejected. And Samuel Flnto-Sharon, seeking the Knesset Immunity which would spare him extradition to France, has campaigned flamboyantly as a lone ranger. A hard-working father who named his newborn son' for Flato-Sherman earned a promise of generous support- for the boy's education, and gained for the candidate lots of free publicity. If the leading parties keep their promise of a change in the country's electoral system, this may be the last election in which splinter groups help provide a carnival atmosphere.

Center StageProduction Worthy of Accolades By Chaim Rabin Brilliant c o s t u m i n g , outstanding direction, simple but elegant staging, superb acting, three fast-paced stories — mix them together and you have the ingredients that ensure success on any theatre stage. The Worid of Shoiom Alelchem came alive this past Saturday night at the Jewish Community Center to an enthusiastic full house. Laughter permeated the air as the first story "A Tale of Chelm" unfolded. Earl Katz as the Melamed shuffled his way to the hearts of the audience. Libby Sachs as his wife Rifkele and Miriam-
Shrier as the Goatseller were scene stealers. Ooohs and ahs were subtly heard as excellent costuming supported some very fine acting by Fran DeGeorge and Michael Harris members of the cast- of " B o n t c h e Schwelg." If Oscars could be awardwf for Center Stage productions, Frank DeGeorge, who played Aaron Katz In the third and last story of "The High School" would probably be a unanimous choice. The audience erupted Into applause s e v e r a l t i m e s . Efrem Bromberg, Michael Harris and Sylvia Wagner, handling their roles well, making this last story completely hold the attention of the audience.

EUe Wiesel gives fTpp>wfr to a point before an appreciative audience.
Hear EUe Wiesel Over 800 people crowded into the sanctuary of Beth El Jacob to hear two lectures by the well-known Jewish author and teacher EUe Wiesel, on the evenings of May 4 and 5. Wiesel inspired and moved his audience on the subjects "Messengers of God" and " S o u l s on F i r e : The Relevance of Hasldism. He called on his exceptional abilities as scholar and teacher to display the relevance of ancient Jewish books- and the entire' Judaic tradition to contemporary Jewish life. Members of the audience felt he showed an unusual ability to relate intellectual truths to laymen,
making use of anecdotes and a remarkable sense of humor in getting his points across. He stressed that many people forget that answers to important questions can take a lifetime of learning, Just as many have forgotten what Hillel said immediately after citing a version of the Golden Rule while his questioner stood on one foot: Hillel said, "As for the rest, go and study." " Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust and the winner of many honors for his novels, plays, stories and essays, Is now Andrew Mellon Professor of the Humanities at Boston Univeristy.
