A prominent Soviet scientist has cabled Tel Aviv University that he will come to Israel to participate in a seminar organized by the university, officials announced today.
Prof. Georgi Marziuk of Novosibirsk will lecture at the seminar, which will deal with planetary physics. His acceptance followed Soviet cancellation of a planned Israel Philharmonic tour of the Soviet Union and it was welcomed by observers here as a sign of at least a small warming of Israeli-Soviet relations.
