of Los Angeles. Dr. Shapiro will
teach a course on contemporary

former secretary of the National

Hebrew U. Newspaper
Is in Four Languages

JERUSALEM — Students at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
will take credit for publishing what
is believed to be the world's first
student newspaper in four lan-
guages. The paper will add sections
in French and Spanish to the exist-
ing parts written in Hebrew and
English.
The change is meant to accom-
modate the Hebrew University's
approximately 500 French-speaking
and almost as many -Spanish-speak-
ing students. The English-speaking
group of 1,000 since the beginning
of the current academic year has
enjoyed the newspaper section in
their language which goes under
the name of "Yediaton," a part of
the Hebrew-language newspaper
"Pi-ha-Aton."
The number of Pages of the stu-
dent paper will increase from eight
to 10 and the circulation 50 per cent
to a total of 8,000. It will reach
students studying at institutes of
higher learning throughout Israel.
The non-Hebrew section will con-
tain two pages in English and one
each in French and Spanish.

NEW YORK—In two statements
the AFL-CIO executive council
branded Nasser as Soviet imperial-
ism's tool in the Middle East and
demanded a special session of the
UN Security Council on guerrilla
outrages, it was announced by
Charles S. Zimmerman, president
of the Jewish Labor Committee.
Zimmerman welcomed the state-
ments as an indication of American
labor's strong support for the secu-
rity of Israel and a just and last-
ing peace in the Middle East.
The AFL-CIO executive council
castigated the Soviet Union for its
rearming of Egypt. To offset this
threat the council called for the
United. States to "speed the de-
livery of the Phantom Jets it re-
cently sold to Israel and also pro-
vide Israel with all other military
assistance it requires for assuring
its national security."
The council endorsed the view
taken by President Nixon during
the election campaign that the per-
sisting conflict in the Middle East
"can be traced directly to Soviet
policy in the area—and further that
`It is not realistic to expect Israel
to surrender currently occupied
territory in the absence of a gen-

JERUSALEM — A prom inent
Israeli archaeologist disputed Is-
raeli religious authorities Tuesday
over the reburial on the Mount of
Olives here of bones found in the
ancient Jewish stronghold of - Ma-
,sada, which held out against Ro-
man legions nearly 2,000 years ago.
Prof. Yigal Yadin of the Hebrew
University declared that no con-
clusive proof existed that all of
the 27 skeletons found and re-
interred as Jewish heroes were in-
deed Jews. He said it was not even
clear that all of the remains dated
from the same period. But, Prof.
Yadin said, the chief rabbinate and
the ministry for religious affairs
rejected his protests.
Prof. Yadin borught up the mat-
ter during a press tour of the Qum-
ran caves on the shores of the
Dead Sea, where the Dead Sea
Scrolls were discovered by an
Arab shepherd more than 20 years
ago. The tour was in connection
with the opening of a post office at
Qumran in the Judean desert south
of Jericho. It is the 34th post office
established in the occupied terri-
tories since the Six-Day War.
