TEL AVIV (JTA)—Work has
started on the construction of an
expressway connecting the center
of Tel Aviv with Lydda Airport
that would shorten the driving time
from here to the airport to about
15 minutes. It now takes more than
a half hour to reach the airport.
The expressway is expected to be
completed within a year.

Dr. Epstein's essay on Rebecca
Gratz follows:
A member of an American
Jewish family famous during the
18th and 19th Centuries as mer-
chants and civic leaders, Rebecca
Gratz was born in Philadelphia in
1781 and proudly continued the

Rebecca Gratz was the model for
the character "Rebecca" in Sir
Walter Scott's romantic novel
about the Middle Ages, Ivanhoe.
Miss Gratz was a frequent visi-
