Days of Remembrance proclaimed for April 10-17 By Boris Bmolar Edltor-ln-chlef-cmcrltus, J.T.A. . IM.
Every year since 1979 the United State* commemorates the victims of the Holocaust and honor* the (survivors at ceremonies in Washington and in a number of states and cities throughout the country. The national ceremonies have been addressed each year by the President and members of Congress of both parties. This year's ceremony in Washington will take place April 13. It will he part of the Days of Remembrance proclaimed for April 10-17; it will be integrated within the week when the first American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors will meet in the nation's capital April 11-14. The opening event of the Gathering will lie held in the Washington .Sports Center which accomodates 20,000 people. About 8,000 people, a third of them from the "second generation" — children of survivors ~ have registered for the Gathering weeks in advance: The National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council is of the opinion that this could wind up as the largttt Jewish assembly ever held in the United States. It has called Upon its affiliated groups to assist locally and nationally in securing the maximum impact. Last year, President Reagan spoke movingly at the national commemorative ceremony at the White House. There were also official observances in 45 states, as well as in most major cities. Governors of a number of states issued official proclamations designating "Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust." By a unanimous vote of Congress — at the recommen-
dation of President Reagan — a United States Holocaust Memorial Council was established as an independent government agency in October 1980. It is composed of 55 memIwrs appointed by the President and five members each from the House and the Senate. In addition, there are three non-voting ex-officio members, one each appointed by the Secretaries of Slate, Interior and Education. Elie Wiesel is chairman of the Council. The Council has the mandate to create a living museum and memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to honor their memories in annual Days of Remembrance. It is also authorized to raise funds from private sources to build a national museum/memorial in Washington and to establish an education foundation. It has already selected a museum Kite and has arranged for transfer of title to the buildings, which are across from the Washington Monument. Consider this action by the U.S. government and compare it with the silent treatment which the Soviet government has been giving all these years even to the hundreds of thousands of its own Jews who were massacred by the Nazis during the German occupation of the Soviet Union and the Baltic countries. Not a single memorial has been put up by the Soviet authorities on the mass graves of Jews. Even the most gruesome two-day slaughter of tens of thousands of Jews in the Babi Yar ravine in Kiev in 1941 has been ignored. No tablet marks the site. A disaster is now being faced by Soviet Jews not only because emigration from the USSR has practically ceased — in January the number of Jews permitted to leave the USSR i.a* HI — but also because virulent anti-Semitism is being expressed in a variety of ways, particularly in the moss media. '
The anti-Jewish cartoons appearing in such leading Soviet newspapers an Provda, Kraanaya Znamia (a military daily newspaper) Komsomolskoya Pravda (organ of the young Communists) and others, are as inciting and as obnoxious OB those which appeared in Der Sturmer, the most vulgar Nazi newspaper.
Local ceremony Gov. Robert Kerrey has proclaimed the week of April 1017, 1983, as The Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust in the State of Nebraska. Gov. Kerrey will preside at the second annual state-wide ceremony to be held in the Governor's Office at 11 a.m., Wednesday, the 13th of April. Sponsored by the State of Nebraska, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the National Conference of Christians and Jews, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, the program will include participation of Chief Justice Norman Krivosha of the Nebraska Supreme Court, Attorney General Paul Douglns,-Secretary of State Allan Bccrman, state and representatives of public, private, and intcrfuith organizations in Nebraska.

"The Saudis may weasel out" of their contract for the "spy" planes n« "they pnrc their $20 billion defense budget," according to S. Fred Singer, a specialist on energy and a former deputy assistant BCCretary of the inferior, in a discussion of the oil glut's effects. Saying "we arc witnessing the unraveling of Arab financial power" and that "the consequences of thi.s major geopolitical event are not yet widely appreciated," Singer pointed out that "unlike the oil weapon,
which,was only psychological, financial power him always been real. It has been used against corporations to enforce b o y c o t t s , and against governments to gain political concessions. Even n perception of declining financial power can profoundly change political attituck'H around the world. It in bound to affect Arab-Israeli pence ncgotitionn, and especially the Reagan initiative." In a recent visit to the Middle East, Singer said in The Wall Street Journal, "I found Saudi officials unwilling to accept the bad news, hoping that world oil demand would soon rise 'after the world recession ends.'" "The oil glut isn't a temporary p h e n o m e n o n , " Singer, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington on leave from the University of Virginia, said. "Within months, or
even weeks, it should become quite evident to all that the Arab financial reserve of more than $2.r>0 billions — mainly Saudi Arabia's and Kuwait's — is shrinking. Thi.s fact alone could have a startling psychological impact, pnrticuInrly when accompanied by sharp budget cuts, cancellation of major industrial projects, eviction of foreign workers, and cuts in foreign aid, including the war subsidy to Iraq — which already has absorbed more than $20 billions." Singer reported that besides dropping the AWACs deal, Saudi Arabia is likely to disappoint neighboring Arab utatcs — "no support for an Arab arms-industry complex in Egypt, no large arms purchases for Jordan, and reduced payoffs to Syria and the PLO. The resultant loss of friends, within the Middle East and beyond, may be a shattering experience for the Arabs."
Arabs protest airing of Golda on French W By Edwin Eytan PARIS (JTA) - - The Arab league representative in Paris, Mohammed Yazid, has formally complained to the French Foreign Ministry against the scheduled airing by French television of the American TV series, "Golda," which portrays the life of Israel's late Premier Golda Mcir. Yazid, in a written note, said that broadcasting this program is tantamount to "glorifying Israel and its expansionist aims." He asked Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson to try and prevent tho state-controlled TV from going ahead with its program, scheduled to start this week. , Several pro-Arab organizations have also
appealed to the "High Authority," a stateappointed body responsible for the television's political neutrality and ethics, to have the series, which stars the late Ingrid Bergman, banned. One such organization, the Franco-Arab Solidarity Association, said in its letter to the High Authority's President Michelle Cotta: "France, which is, favorable to a just solution to the Middle East conflict, should not use television to present a biased view of the problem." The Association's president, Lucien Bitterlin, also called for a program on the Palestinian question and said it should be followed by a debate between the representatives of all the concerned parties.

Israel Update to be presented
Men's Mission to Washington By Ellen Cordman Federation Staff To March out the true story behind the news head-, lines, 17 men from Omaha-participated in the 1083 Men's Mission to Washington. D.C, The purpose of the mission, sponsored by the Men's Division of the Fed, eration Campaign, was to meet with United States and Israeli government officials as well as representatives of Jewish organizationii to learn first hand about American-Uracli relation*. The fast-paced two-day mission included briefings with officials at the Israeli Embassy, the Suite Department and the Defense Department. The men heard from Mark Talisman, executive director of the Council of Jewish Federation'* Washington Action Office and Ralph Nurenberger of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIF'AC). There was also an opportunity for dialogue with Senators James Exon and Edward Zorinsky and Representative Hal Daub. "The mission was interesting and fulfilled every expectation that we had," said Bob Kully, mission chairman. "From the questions that were asked by the men I think they got the utmost front our sessions. The participation was outstanding. There really wasn't enough time to cover all of the topics as thoroughly as we would hove liked. "For me the highlight of the mission was meeting with •even of the eight Jewish Senators, Chick Hecht, Howard Metzenbaum, Frank Loutenberg, Arlen Spector, Rudy Boshchwiu and Carl Levin and hearing what they had to say about United States relations with Israel." . "The minion highlighted for me the importance of communication with our representatives," said Robbi Sidney Brooks. "Their responses to our presence indicated to me that what their constituents think is important to them.
"I think the mission pointed up that Congress is more sensitive to the critical relationship between Israel and the United States than the administration. Congress is not on the same wave length as Reagan and Weinlarger." ' "What shocked me the most was how naive we are in Nebraska by just reading the World Herald," said Jim Harris. "Everyone should read the Near East Report published by A IP AC and be informed of the facts. For inRtance, we learned about the growing Soviet incursion into Syria. There arc SAM missiles controlled by satelite from Moscow and about 2500 Russian troops in Syria." "The mission was educational and eye opening in terms of how AIPAC is working as the Jewish lobby," said Sherman Neff. "It appeared to me that we get a slanted viewpoint from the media on the situation in the Middle Rant." "It is obvious that what is done in Washington affects Israel," said Nelson Oordman. "Israel receives four times as much aid from the United States as is raised across the country during Federation Campaigns. Never has Israel needed more help in Washington. "I think we need to be better informed on how our representatives are voting on issues that affect Jews in general and the state of Israel in particular." "I thought the mission was effective, interesting, a thrilling experience and a great opportunity," said Chuck Monasee. 'The people at the Departments of Defense and State were not unsympathetic to our interests and concerns. We were told that the questions we asked would bo given to the Secretaries of State and Defense the morning after our briefings. Other participants on the Men's Mission to Washington, D.C. included: Ronald Brodkey, Paul Cohen, Allan Greene, Jnrold Kohir, Dr. Milton Margolin, Thomas Ncuman, Alan Nogg, Dennis Paley, Lou Rich, Ervin Simon and Yale Wishnick from Lincoln.

Weinberger: Israel not a liability . By David Friedman WASHINGTON «TA) - SecreUry of Defense Caspar Weinberger strongly denied that lie considers Israel a "strategic liability," maintaining that be considers the Jewish State as well as most Arab countries "strategic asset*." Weinberger's denial came when he was asked on NBC-TVs "Meet the Press" about the belief that he feel* Israel i» a liability, "The only people who think that are people who don't bother to talk with me,", he replied. ' "I consider lisraei a «trat«(;ic asset," he stressed. "I consider many other countries in the Mideast fitrntcgic assets. I think we need many friends in the MideuM, including Ixracl, but including aim Saudi Arnbin and Jordan and Onmn nntl Kuwait wirl I he Gulf ntntes and many others. It is essential thin we mnintain cond nnd cnrdinl mid tstrotij; nttd clone relationships with nil of them1 nations. I do not consider Israel or nny other of these countries with one or two notable exceptions such-as Irnn, u strategic tinbility." Weinberger denied that he recommended an arms embargo on Israel after the Israeli army went into tjebanon lont June. But he said the U.S. has held up approving the Rale of 76 F-16 jeU to Israel because "serious questions were raised" about whether Israel has been using U.S. arms, including planes, "only in self-defense," as required by U.S. law and in the arms sales agreement* with Israel. He said the plane* will not be sent
to Israel "pending the outcome of thi* in* vestigation." Weinberger also rejected Israel's charges that incidents between the Israeli army and the V.S'. marines in Lebanon would not have happened if there had been better liaison between the two forces. "We do have liaison at all levels where it is required," he Haid. "We do have basically the some kind of liaison that m possessed by the other members of the multinational force" the Hritisli, French and Italian. He said the-marine commander in the field can contact the Inraelis at nny time and did BO only lust week. He added that in a recent tnlk with Israeli Defense Minister Mouhe Arena, lie was /insured there would he no more incidents from the Israeli side. Weinberger onid he was "very hopeful" tlmt the incidents have cenwd. But when pressed to IIJSCIIHS the incidents outlined in the letter to him by fieri. Robert Harrow, the Commandant of the Marine Corp». Weinberger snitl "his letter speaks for ilself," Uv said the letter which charged the Israelis with harassment of the marines, was sent to the State Department which discussed the issue with Israel. He noted thht since then the munition has "much improved." But Weinberger added that "the solutions to all of this" i» for nn agreement to be reached in which "all of the foreign forces, the Israelis, Syrians, VIA) and ultimately the multinational force, all get out of Lebanon."

An appealing Harvey at Upstairs theater The thought of a 6-foot rabbit as an invisible cast member is unbelievable to > most of us, but Harvey at
the Upstairs Dinner Theatre makes believers out of everyone. Norman F i l b e r t , as gentle, kindly, courtly Elwood P. Dowd, leads an excellent c u t in the production of the Mary Chase comedy. The play llarvty offers a humorous viewpoint of life end over the years was a hit on Broadway. Jimmy Stewart played the Dowd role in the movie and brought Harvey to the pinnacie of animal success, ranking with the GOP ele-
phant and the Democratic donkey. In the play, Klwood's sister and her daughter try to have him committed to Chumley's Rest1 Home for psychiatric care. But, Blwood's way with people overcomes and everyone becomes his friend, even the upright, substantial Dr. Cliumley (Dave Dcchant). Although Harvey remains invisible throughout the production, nary a theatergoer will deny his existence at the end. (MM.)

Bristol-Myers cancer award winner changes cancer cells into normal cells in culture NEW YORK, NY — Pro fessor Leo Sachs, who first demonstrated how leukemia cells in culture could be changed back into normal cells, has received the sixth annual Bristol-Myers Award for Distinguished Achievement in Cancer Research. The head of the Department of Genetics at The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, Professor Sachs received the $50,000 cash prize at a luncheon at the WaldorfAstoria Hotel.

possible new approach to cancer treatment — one baaed not on killing the cancer cells but on actually reversing the malignant • process," said Dr. Saul A. Rosenberg, professor of medicine and radiology and chief, Division of Oncology, Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Rosenberg chaired, the 11-member award selection committee. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells usually do not differentiate into specialized cells that perform specific functions within the body. Professor Sachs first identified a protein that controls differentiation in normal white blood cells and showed that it can also normalize leukemia cells.
This protein is now called the "mscrophage/granulocyte inducer," or MGI. When added by Professor Sachs to myeloid leukemia cells in culture, the MGI switched on the process of cell differentiation and the cells changed from malignant to normal. Professor Sachs was also the first to develop a technique for cloning normal white blood ceils in culture

and the first to show that cells in culture became cancerous when exposed to environmental agents like chemicals and X rays. "These cell culturing techniques arc the basis of both his own work on reversing malignancy and an important atpect of today's work on oncogenes, the socalled cancer genes," Dr. Rosenberg said. "The technique used to identify oncogenes depends on cellular changes he first observed."
Working with solid tissue tumors. Professor Sachs found that, by changing specific chromosomes, the offspring of a sarcoma cell would be normal. Many of Professor Sachs' studies have focused on the growth and differentiation of both normal and cancer cells. "The more we understand about normal cell growth, the more we understand what goes wrong when a cell becomes cancerous and whether the ma-

lignant change can lie corrected," he said. Until the early IDCOs scientists lacked the technology to study the changes n normal cell undergoes when it becomes malignant. "Experiments on cell transformation in living animals were difficult to interpret, so we developed cell culture techniques that made it possible to do experiments too complicated to perform on animals," Professor Sachs said. As a result of his studies on what happens when normal cells are exposed to carcinogens, other investigators began to use this approach to explore the relat i o n s h i p between the environment and Cancer. Later, the Sachs group and others showed that a cell became cancerous only if it divided more than once after exposure to the carcinogen. In his studies on changes on the properties of myeloid leukemia cells, Professor Sachs has shown that what appeared to be the same disease in different animals and humans may actually
have been produced by different biological irregularitie*. "This has implication! for the way we diagnose and treat leukemia patients," he said, "it may enable us to design more specific treatment that corrects the fundamental defect," Professor Sachs left his native Germany for England during the Hitler era. He received a Ph.D. in plant genetics from Cambridge University in 1951, end be went to Israel in 1952. Ho originally intended to join in establishing an agricultural kibbutz. Instead, he accepted an offer to help establish the biological sciences program at The Weirmann Institute. His earliest research was on chromosome evolution in plants and mammals. In 1955 he developed the technique of nmniocenle.iis, which enabled doctors to determine n child'* «** before birth by studying fetal cells. This technique is now widely used to determine genetic defects of the fetus as well as its sex.
UJA Israel Special Fund: the needs There ate 650 «tu'dent« Uving in Student Authority dormitoriws in Jerusalem including foreign student* who com* for one year a* well as those taking three ' und four yenr* programs.

A cultural coordinator and unff of counu-lorn provided by the Authority work with these (students on a daily basis in the Hebrew University dormitories. .They organize extracurricular activities, arrange voluntary work, set up lectures and seminars, offer employment services, arrange visits to Israeli homes, and organize tours of the country. The budget of the Stu-
xlrnl Authority for all of 1*raoVii universities includes $2 million for tuition, $1 million for scholarships, $100,000 for counseling and tutoring and $100,000 for oversea* students who come for one year. If we foil in our effort* to raise the nettled funds for the Student Authority, there will foe Kcncrnl ncros*ihe-bonrd cut* in the amount <>f awl that the Authority can provide. C o n s e q u e n c e : Fewer students will come to Israel from foreign countries, and many who begin will not be able to complete their studies due to n lack of financial resources. This will severely limit their contributions to Israel and to the Jewish people. Contributions to the Israel Special Fund* will ensure, that immigrant students can attend universities and be integrated into the mainstream of Israeli life.
