— Tunisia has promised to allow Israel to participate in a scientific center to be established in Tunis by the United Nations-sponsored Organization for the Prevention of Pollution in the Mediterranean. Dr. Uri Marinov, director of Israel’s Interior Ministry’s environmental protection service, said that at a meeting of the UN organization in Cannes he had protested the Tunis venue because Israel would be barred. When he proposed Haifa as an alternate site, the Tunisians promised that Israel could participate in the Tunis center.
