Krieger to Vie
for U.S. in Games

Byron Krieger, a native De-
troiter, has been selected by the
United States Olympic Com-
mittee to represent this coun-
try in the 1956 Olympic Games
in Melbourne, Australia.
Krieger- was a member of the
1952 U.S. Olympic foil team. He
won nomination to this year's
Olympics by placing fifth in the
final tryouts in New York last
week, out of a field of 92

fencers.

,

The showing was considered
excellent inasmuch as Krieger
had not been in championship
competition since 1954, when he
was three-weapon champion of
MiChigan in foil, saber and epee,
and Midwest champion in foil
and saber.
Although unable to defend his
titles in 1955, Krieger has won
27 state and 19 Midwest cham-
pionships to that time, more
than any other fencer in the
Midwest.
He directed the Central
American and Caribbean Games
at Guatemala in 1950, the Bo-
livian Games at Caracas, Ven-
ezuela, in 1951, and in the latter
year was named to the Pan-
American team that competed
in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Krieger will leave on Nov.
6 with the U.S. Olympic team
which will fly from California
to Australia. The games begin

on Nov. 26.

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The

Jewish Theological Seminary of
America came into possession of
a 15th century manuscript of the
Samaritan Pentateuch,' or Five
Books of Moses.
The manuscript is written in
the Samaritan alphabet, an
ancient form of the Hebrew
alphabet, with a parallel trans-
lation into Arabic. The text is
'complete and well preserved.
"There are no printed transla-
tions of the complete Samaritan
Pentateuch into Arabic, and this
volume may well be the first
of its kind available to scholars
at any American institution of
higher learning," the announce-
ment said.
The 643-page manuscript was
presented to the Seminary by
Harold K. Cohen of Philade-
lphia, and Harry G. Friedman,
Louis M. Rabinowitz and Julius
Silver, of New York City, in
memory of Doctor Alexander
Marx, late Director of Libraries
at the Seminary.
"The manuscript is an impor-
tant source book for scholars,
making available to the Samar-
itan specialist an uncommonly
readable bi-lingual text," the
announcement pointed 0 u t.
"Variations in the Samaritan
Pentateuch are mainly linguis-
tic, but one difference is worth
noting: The last of the Ten
Commandments contains an in-
terpolation establishing M t.
Gerizim as the chosen spot for
the altar, and Schechem
(Nablus, today) as the Holy
City for sacrificial offerings,
rather than Jerusalem. Phrases
such as 'the hand of God' are
omitted from the Samaritan
translation of the Pentateuch,
and in their stead are more ab-
stract terms, such as, 'the power
of God.' "

Plan '56 Detroit
Caravan to Israel

On the enthusiastic recom-
mendation of members of last
year's Detroit Service Group
Caravan to Israel, a new car-
avan is in the planning.
The proposed 1956 Caravan
would be scheduled for early.
October and would include ap-
proximately 12 days in Israel.
Members of the 19 55 Caravan
report they had an unusual op-
portunity to visit the most im-
portant and interesting cities
and places, to . meet leading
Israeli officials and - get a first
hand picture of what is hap-
pening in Israel.
Guided tours under the aus-
pices of Jewish agencies are
proposed for this year's cara-
van. All time in Israel would
be spent in first-class hotels.
The round trip fair by air,
plus hotels and meals 'in Is-
rael, would cost approximately
$1,100 per person. The trip
would include both men and
women.
Additional information on
the proposed Caravan can be
obtained by calling Miss Esther
R. Prussian, director of the De-
troit Service Group, WO. 5-
3939.
