may expect the phone calls

A book is out seeking to
prove that Columbus was
motivated by a desire to find
an escape for the Jews who
were being expelled from
Spain at the time.
Many Jews were involved
in the Columbus episode.
Columbus begins his diary
with the statement that at
the time he was beginning
his voyage, the Jews were
being driven from Spain.
So there may be some
basis for the idea. But we
hope that nobody will come
out with a book trying to

7 Arrested in Robbery
of Jerusalem Bank

To Our Friends and Customers

It was the first such rob-
bery in the capital in recent
memory, though a wave of
armed robberies of banks has
been sweeping the Tel Aviv
region this year.
A police patrol car which
happened to pass by the bank
during the holdup was shot'
up by the robbers, and one
of its occupants was slightly
wounded,
