Stone, board chairman, and Harry Levine, treasurer of the American Committee for the Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute of Science, and technion, sailed for Israel today for a series of conferences with University, Institute and Technion leaders on needs of the institutions and plans for arounding strong support on their behalf in the United States and Canada.
