Saul Levin, a classics profes sor, received microfilm of three rare and ancient Hebrew Bibli cal manuscripts from Lenin grad's Saltykov-Shchedrin Li brary in return for 14 books re quested by the Russians, includ ing "The Adventures of Mark Twain." The exchange required eight months, but was accomplished "directly and with few compli cations." Levin said. He applied to the Russian embassy in Wash ington, which forwarded the re quest directly to the library's director. The director asked $75 to cov er microfilming costs, to be paid in such books as "A Pictorial Treasury of Opera in America," "The Mike Gold Reader,"' "Econ omic History of the United State s." "Electro magnetic Waves," "Physical G e o 1 o g y," "Semimicro Qualitative Analy sis" and "Dielectric Behavior and Structure." Levin, who will use the micro film in a structural comparison he is making between Hebrew and other Semitic languages with Greek, Sanskrit and the Indo-European languages in gen eral, attributed the eight-month delay to "library and microfilm ing' difficulties" ratlier than to governmental red tape. The Russian librarian notified Levin that the cost of the micro filming had been overestimated, and invited him to select an ad ditional S50 worth of films. Lev in said he probably would order more Hebrew Bible, and perhaps It takes nature up to 1,000 years to produce topsoil.
