Seek to Ban Fascist Paper

VIENNA (JTA)—The Vienna
Jewish Community has ap-
pealed to the Interior Ministry
to ban the importation of a
Hungarian Fascist paper whose
publication inside Austria it
had once forbidden. The com-

"Cel," published in Munich,
which c a r r i es anti-Semitic

Zeldin Charges No Scholarship by Heads Bond Drive
Those Who Claim Scrolls' Antiquity

In the current issue of the
Jewish Quarterly Review, Dr.
Solomon Zeitlin, editor of the
Review and professor of history
at Dropsie College, again at-
tacks the claims that the Dead
Sea Scrolls belonged to an-
tiquity.
Writing under the heading
"The Idolatry of the Dead Sea
Scrolls," Dr. Zeitlin takes ex-
ception to the "wild assump-
tions and deceptive allegations
(that) have been blared forth
over the radio, television, pub-
lic meetings, in the press and in
superficial publications."\ He
again calls attention to "the
fact that mystery surrounds the
discovery" and that "contradic-
tory statements have been made
as to when the scrolls were dis-
covered."' •
He challenges many scholars
who have dealt with the scrolls
subject as not being well
equipped to discuss it and as
"not versed in the history of
the Second Jewish Common-
wealth, the works of Josephus,
and the rabbinic-Karaitic litera-
ture were a terra incognita to
them."
The dates and circum-
stances under which the
scrolls were found have been
reported in several ways, con-
tradicting each other, Dr.
Zeitlin asserts. "The confu-
`sion about the scrolls is be-
coming more confounded, and
the resolving' of these enig-
mas really belongs to a court
rather than to scholars," he
writes.
Dr. Igaei Yadin's account of
the scrools is challenged and
criticized and his story is called
"stereotyped." Insisting that the
scrolls belong to medieval times
and not to antiquity, Dr. Zeitlin
charges that the $250,000 paid
for them was "an exorbitant
price." He states:
"In describing the scroll Man-
ual of Discipline, Dr. Yadin
omitted, the following: (1) He
failed to mention that this one
scroll formerly consisted of two
parts which had been joined. Is
this omission an indication that
the scroll always consisted of
one unit, i. e., that two scrolls
had not been joined as stated
by Dr. Trever to form one
scroll? If this be true, then
where is the fifth scroll? Dr.
Yadin constantly speaks of sev-
en scrolls while, according to
the original statement, there
were eight; the Archbishop
(Mar Athanasius Y. Samuel) ac-
quired five and Prof. Sukenik
acquired three. (2) He omitted
mentioning that the scribe of
this scroll used ellipses to indi-
cate that he had left out a word,
a practice also not in vogue in
ancient times."
Dr. Zeitlin again maintains
that the parentheses used in
the scrolls were not used in
ancient times. "It was the duty
of Dr. Yadin," he maintains, to
inform his readers "of the dif-
ferent signs used by the scribes
of these scrolls." Dr. Yadin also
is challenged to prove the au-
thenticity of a letter he quoted
from Bar Kokhba which sup-
posedly commenced with the
preposition from and carried a
signature at the end. "There
is no such letter in the Talmud
which begins with the preposi-
tion from," Prof. Zeitlin writes.
Dr. Yadin had said that
"some of the scrolls were found
wrapped in kerchiefs." Dr. Zeit-
lin challenges that and, repudi-
ating the Yadin reference to
the carbon 14 test says that
Yadin "failed to mention that
many scientists of note are of
the opinion that the carbon 14
test is not reliable."
The views of Dr. Yadin are
repudiated for his failure to
meet Dr. Zeitlin's arguments
"against the antiquity of the
scrolls." Dr. Zeitlin, countering
Dr. Yadin's claim that Jews
should be moved by manuscripts
written 2,000 years ago, writes:

moved by the writings of
these semi-literate Jews. Even
if we should assume, for the
sake of argument, that these
scrolls were written in the
pre-Christian period in Ju-
daea, no Jew who knows his
history and his literature can
be moved by such writings.
We have indeed a good litera-
ture which was written in the
pre-Christian period by which
a Jew can be moved and of
which he can be proud. It is
questionable whether all of
the Hebrew Scrolls were writ-
ten in Palestine, but there
could be no question as to the
period of their composition,
they belong to the Middle
Ages."
Theologians "who insist on
the antiquity of the scrolls and
draw conclusions by inference
from the writings of the scrolls
are creating a Frankenstein for
themselves," Prof. Zeitlin states.
It is understandable, he states,
that devout Christians were per-
turbed by the conclusions.
Denying that his previous
challenges have been met, Dr.
Zeitlin says he has sympathy for
those who ignore his arguments
against the scrolls' antiquity be-
cause they are not versed in
rabbinic and karaitic literature
and "their silence is due to
their inability to answer." He
sums up by reiterating that the
seven or eight scrolls belong to
the Middle Ages; that they still
present an enigma, that some
scholars have not dealt with
them "in a scholarly manner;"
that "their content was doctored
and adulterated;" that "the ven-
eration in which the scrolls
have been held, and the litera-
ture which has grown up around
them, will not be a glorious Jerusalem- Calling
chapter in modern scholarship":
and as idols have "vanished in Where is the

Church-State Issue
Big Problem for Israel,
Mrs. Roosevelt Writes

Eleanor Roosevelt said that
one of the problems facing Is-
rael is the question of separa-
tion of state and church.
Her observation, in the March
1 issue of Saturday Evening
Post, is made in a report on her
round-the-world adventures, the
fourth of five articles in her
story, "On My. Own."
Before going to Israel, She
visited the Arab countries, in-
chiding the carripS for Arab ref-
ugees who had left Palestine
during the fighting there.
Mrs. Roosevelt recalls that
several years earlier she had
visited the Jewish refugee
camps in Germany, where she
was much impressed by the
yearning of the occupants for a
better future.
"The Arab refugee camps
were the , least hopeful I had
ever seen," she writes. "Nothing
had been done to preserve the
skills of Arabs displaced by
warfare in the Near East and
they had little to look forward
to . . .
"Going from the Arab coun-
tries into Israel, I felt . a re-
markable exhiliration at being
among people with a purpose
and a sense of dedication in
carrying out their purpose."
Mrs. Roosevelt says that ob-
viously many grave problems
remain to be solved in Israel,
but she believes an important
one is the question of separa-
tion of church and state. At
present, she comments, it is
difficult to distinguish between
the two.
Some day, she observes, this
problem must be solved. When
it is, she is confident, there will
be a separation of powers of
church and state, as in our
country.

Cath. Church Against
Change in NY Blue Law

Every school pupil in our
country studies the Bible and
everyone has read of the name
"Adullam," but many do not
know where this place is. They
remember the story about _Da-
vid who fled from Saul and
hid "in the cave of Adullam,"
but they do not know that this
place is not far from Jerusalem
on the south-western side.
At present (in these days)
the name of Adullam appears
in the press from time to time,
for there thousands of Jews
who have just come from
abroad (outside the country)
will live. Until only a short
time ago the area was desolate
and neglected. Now agriCultural
settlements which will make
the land flourish and will
strengthen the security of our
country are being established
on it. Up to now there was no
sign (no memory) of any Jew-
ish settlement there and be-
cause of its proximity to the
frontier the state of „security in
this area was weak.
The Settlement' Department
of the Jewish Agency and the
Jewish National Fund have pre-
pared plans for the revival of
the area by the planting of fruit
trees and the breeding of sheep
—branches of farming most
suited for this region of the
country. There are also places
good for the growing of tobacco
and of all varieties of vege-
tables.
First of all the settlers will
engage in preparatory works
and afterwards they will en-.
joy the fruit of their labor.
Soon every man in Israel will
know of Adullam and of the
inhabitants of this region no
less than he knows of the
"Emek" or "Sharon" and no
one will then ask, 'Where is
the Adullam district?"
