An appeal to all nations in the Middle East to regard Israel as a pilot plant and to “adapt her astounding achievements in science and technology to their own pressing problems” was made today by Jacob R. Sensibar, president of the American Technion Society, addressing the closing session of the fourth annual Conference on Science and Technology in Israel and the Middle East, held at the Hotel Astor.
“It is the hope of the planners of this Conference that the day is not far off when these annual gatherings will be held in Israel and in surrounding countries, at which there will be a free and open exchange of scientific and technical information that will benefit all peoples,” he declared.
William M.Q. Halm, Ambassador of Ghana to the United States, told the Conference of Israel’s technical assistance to his country. Mr. Halm said: “When we entered into the new era which afforded us new hopes and new aspirations, we found ourselves faced with problems which could only be solved by new skills and new techniques, some of which we lacked. We therefore had to cast our eyes on the horizon, looking for help, and from Israel, timely help, in the form of technical assistance, came.”
