A vast hoard of several thou-
sand coins dating • back to the
turn of the first century of the
Common Era is being studied
by experts after its recent find
near the Druze village of Isfiye
on Mt. Carmel.
Hannah Petor, who describes
the discovery in an Israel Fea-
ture Service article on the
numismatic section of the Tel

Aviv Museum Haaretz, writes
that the coins are Roman dinars
and half dinars, besides coins
from Tyrus, called Tyre shekels
or tetradrachmas.
She writes that Dr. Leo Kad-
mon, a noted coin collector and
financial contributor to the
Museum, is of the opinion that
the coins "represented the tax
contribution made by the Jews

JOHN F. HAMILTON

Renowned Aviator Is
Head of Underwater
Expedition off Israel

For a 56-year-old American,
Edwin A. Link, a good part of
his life has been devoted to
flying. At an early age he taught
himself how to fly and later
went on to invent the famed
Link Trainer which is used for
training pilots before they take
to the air.
Now the ingenious Link is ex-
ploring the waters off -,'aesarea,
Israel, for what may develop
into one of the most important
probes of this ancient port of
Biblical times.
Link designed the vessel be-
ing used for this underwater
archaelogical expedition, the Sea
Diver, and he is being assisted
by a 12-man crew including his
wife and a 19-year-old son, Clay-
ton.

Israel divers are augmenting
the team whose venture is spon-
sored by the America - Israel
Society, the Princeton Seminary
and other institutions.
