Research Team Seeks Remains of Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat SAN DIEGO — A Baptist research organization report- ed that it had received "quasiofficial approval" to scale Mt. Ararat in Turkey to search for remnants of Noah's Ark believed to be embedded in the snow- covered mountain. The Baptist Church-spon- sored Institute for Creation Research here plans to send an eight-man expedition to find timbers and some struc- tural portions of the biblical ship preserved in the ice and snow near the 14,500-foot level on the northeast side of the mountain. Mt. Ararat lies in a highly militarized zone in eastern Turkey, between the Black Sea and the Caspian, near the borders of the Soviet Union and Iran, and foreign- ers are rarely permitted in the area. According to the Bible, all of the people of the world are descendants of Noah and his family, believed to be the only survivors of the great flood. Although the "universal- ity" of the flood—its scope— has been under theological debate, Dr. Henry Morris. president of the institute, and his son, both of whom will join the expedition, literally accept the words of Genesis 7:19 that "the waters pre- vailed exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high moun- tains that were under the whole heaven were covered." Most Christians believe that the flood was universal. However, conservatives in the clergy believe that the flood only affected a small part of the world. Dr. Bernard L. Ramm of the Baptist Seminary of the West in Covina, Calif., ad- vised caution in reading the words "all" and "whole". He said that Mesopotamians had no concept of the world beyond their own and were unaware of other continents and peoples. Dr. Ramm- also said it was improbable to care for and feed so many animals for such a long time, and that there was still a mystery as to what became of the flood waters. "If all the globe was under nearly six miles of water, it would had no place to drain off." he said. The Morrises contend that through a miracle of God the water drained off with the help of high winds, submerg- ing forever great land masses and opening up the oceans making them deeper and broader than before. Pravda Writer Hits Jackson and Meany NEW YORK— The Wash- ington correspondent f o r Pravda, the Soviet Commun- ist party newspaper, wrote that although Sen. Henry M. Jackson was a "polite gen- tleman," he is "an anti-Soviet and friend of the Zionists." Sergei Vishnevsky, who told his readers that Sen. Jackson may run for the Presidency in 1976, said that Sen. Jackson was backed by "a sinister coalition of mili- tary manufacturers, Penta- gon hawks, Zionists and trade union bureaucrats." Vishnevsky also criticized George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, calling him a supporter of Sen. Jackson and "an ardent anti-Commu- nist obscurantist." U. S. Sympathetic NEW YORK (ZINS) — A poll commissioned by CBS News indicates that more Americans sympathize with Israel than with the Arabs and believe that the United States should apply little or no pressure on Israel to re- linquish Arab territories tak- en in the 1967 war. The results of the poll, con- ducted by Opinion Research Corp. of Princeton, N. J. in a national sample of 1,231 peo- ple of voting age, were broad- ..cast on the Columbia Broad- casting System's television program "60 Minutes". Moderator Mike Wallace said that 38 per cent of those polled had expressed sym- pathy for Israel compared with 7 per cent for the Arabs.

Arab Propagandist on U.S. 'Mission' UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —Dr. Clovis Maksoud, the Arab League's envoy who ar- rived in the U.S. last week to present the Arab view- point to the American pub- lic, said in a press confer- ence here that Syria will not exchange POWs with Israel until Israel adheres to all the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. He contended that Israel asks only observance of the POW issue and ignores other provisions of the Geneva Conventions. He did not elab- orate. He said that the Arab 16—Friday, January 18, 1974 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Jewish Mothers Jump (It Chance to Feed Their Boys Having to wait may be characteristic of Israel's bureaucracy, but when it comes to aiding Israeli soldiers, there's no time to waste reports former De- troiter Shirley Sklash of Kfar Haroe, Israel. During Hanuka, the son of Mrs. Skiash's neighbor, who was stationed near the Suez, casually remarked in a letter to his mother how nice it would be to eat soofgania, a small doughnut-like cake without the hole and jelly, customarily eaten on the hol- iday. Jumping to his request, the mother contacted friends in other cities, and several women's groups responded. A local yeshiva became an instant bakery, where women rolled, cut, fried and sugared the t r e a ts.

Golan Sheikhs Ask Israel to Annex Golan KIRYAT SHEMONA — Three Druze notables from the Golan Heights have urged Israeli authorities not to re- turn the Heights to Syria. Suleiman Kanz of Majdal Shams. Muhamel Ali Farhan of Bukata village and Atif Salem of Ein Kinivah — had come to Kiryat Shemona to 'ongratulate the leader of the independent local list, Avraham Aloni, on his elec- tion victory. Aloni was told the sheikhs are worried by "rumors about the possible return of the Golan to Syria. We want to be citizens of Israel and want Israel to annex the Golan." They also appealed to Aloni to continue the social and economic cooperation between Kiryat Shemona and the Golan Druze, and recall- ed that he had initiated the opening of a Histadrut branch there.
