low for the next six years and joined Rockefeller University in 1968. A visiting faculty member at Princeton intermittently since 1966, he was a professor at Rockefeller University from 1971-m7, when Rockefeller University abolished its philosophy program. That same year. Prof. Kripke was appointed to the Princeton faculty as McCosh Professor of Philosophy. Both of his books, "Naming and Necessity" and "Wittgenstein on Rules and FVivate Language," grew out of lectures Prof. Kripke gave at Princeton, according to Princeton University President Schapiro. "These two works, along with his many articles in logic and philosophy, have established him as one of a small group of seminal thinkers writing about philosophy today. "Saul thinks about an astonishing range of problems, and always with clarity and depth. As he re^aifmines thd traditional knota in philosophy, he brings his atadanta with him, through carefully organiced and eoergatk lectures. His inaighta are radical but his style is direct, thorough and witty. He ia a teacher of teachers as well aa studsnta, a laeturer without peer and an individual who has raiaad the standards for phUoaopfafcal faiveatlgatk»."
Israel plans to stop issuing visas to Soviet Jews bound for the West By Hugh Orgel

According to Yediot Achronot, Soviet officials have promised Peres that 1,400 Jews will be allowed to leave this month, including several individuals denied permission in the past for "security reasons." While no date has been announced'^or the changeover, Jerusalem has already advised the Dutch Embassy in Moscow that it intends to stop issuing visas through its facilities.

Effective shortly, they will be issued only to those definitely bound for Israel, the news media reported over the weekend. Soviet Jews wisliing to immigrate to countries other than Israel presumably will have to obtain visas from those countries.

Israel announced it would begin issuing invitations with the requirement that emigrating Soviet Jews pick up their visas in Bucharest, in effect ensuring that Israeli invitations no Iwiger will be used to facilitate immigration to other countries. Under the old policy, Jews allowed to leave the Soviet Union traveled via Vienna, where a nuyority of them opted to immigrate to Western countries, notably the United States. This month, the "dropout" figure hit an unprecedented 90 pei^ cent. The Israetls were angered and embarrassed by the high dropout rate, arguing that Jews who left Russia on tiie strength of Israeli viaaa were obliged to go to Israel

entry into Israel. Jews bound for Israel will have to fly direct, with a brief stopover in Bucharest, rather than flying first to Vienna, as the vast majority of emigrating Soviet Jews do today. The Soviet Union has allowed several direct flights to Israel via Bucharest in recent months. Romania is the only Communist bloc country that has full diplomatic ties with Israel. The change was made feasible after the Soviet Union announced in June 1987 that its citizens could emigrate to any country in the world for the purpose of family reunion. The altered Soviet policy cleared the w^y for more extensive Jewish emigration, Maariv noted. Israel became only one of several countries of choice. Previously, Jews were granted exit visas only if they could produce invitations from relatives in Is-
