Find Ancient Part
of Biblical Commentary

NEW YORK (JTA) — An
important early work of biblical
commentary, the Pesikta de Ray
Kahana, will be published by
the Jewish Theological Semi-
nary, thus making it available to
Bible scholars in its original
form after it was lost for cen ,
turies.
The Seminary said that Prof.
Bernard Mandelbaum, its Pro-
vost, prepared the definitive edi-
tion of the fifth century work.
The Pesikta is part of the Mid-
rash, the non-legal commentary
on Jewish religious lore.
The publication was made
possible in part by the discovery
of a version of the work, pre-
viously unidentified, in a col-
lection of photostats ordered
from the manuscript catalogue
of the Oxford University Li-
brary. Prof. Mandelbaum also
had available part of a collec-
tion of fragments in the Lenin-
grad Library which had been
microfilmed by Russian scholars
with copies made available in
the United States.

Jewish Country Club
Golfers Shot at by
Mysterious Sniper

WASHINGTON, (JTA) —Po-
lice are investigating a mysteri-
ous fusillade of gunfire, lasting
15 minutes, which raked the
golf course at the Woodmont
Jewish Country Club in nearby
Rockville, Md., causing golfers
to hide in a sandtrap to save
their lives.
A Washington physician, his
wife, son and their caddy were
pinned down for a harrowing 15
minutes while bullets whistled
over their heads. The firing
came from a nearby woods.
Police said the fire apparent-
ly was aimed over the heads of
the Jewish golfers to frighten or
harass them, rather than actu-
ally cause their death. A Mont-
gomery County police spokes-
man said that an investigation
has so far failed to disclose the
identity of the sniper.

Jewish Students

at University in
Amsterdam 'Hazed'

THE HAGUE — Justice Min-
ister Anton Beerman assured
the Dutch parliament Wednes-
day that there would be a full
investigation of recent hazings
at the Municipal University in
Amsterdam in which Jewish
students were called names and
locked up in a cellar.
The Justice Minister gave the
assurance in which he also said
that there would be prosecution
if the facts warranted it in reply
to indignant questions about the
incident which evoked sharp
press criticisms last week.
The incidents included the
performance of a play entitled
"Dachau," which recreated
scenes of concentration camp
life after which first-year Jew-
ish and non-Jewish students
were herded into a small cel-
lar in which several of the stu-
dents fainted.
Two students charged by uni-
versity officials with anti-Semi-
tism insisted they were acting
only as "bullies to the new-
comers." The university's stu-
dent senate also denied there
was any racial or religious dis-
crimination involved in the haz-
ing, but deplored the incidents.
Prof. Jank Kok, university vice-
chancellor, said the university
would take severe action if a
judicial inquiry called for it.

Italian Jews Greet Ecumenical Council

ROME (JTA) — The Union
of Jewish Communities in Italy
sent a message to the Ecumeni-
cil at the Vatican, expressing
the hope that the conclave of
Church Fathers would "open to
the world new perspectives of
peace and fraternal collabora-
tion between all peoples and
all religions."
Alluding to the fact that Pope
John XXIII had already altered
certain Catholic liturgy and
prayers, eliminating references

offensive to the Jewish people,
the message stated: "Mindful
of decisions already made by
His Holiness, John XXIII, Jews
nurture the hope that this sol-
emn assembly may follow the
road already traced so that, in
an hour of grave crisis, common
spiritual values will become
reinforced and new ways of
mutual respect and brotherhood
among men disclosed."

American business that has en-
dured by shady policies, or by
knowingly putting unprincipled
men in positions of trust. Ameri-
