Oldest Jewish Ritual Baths Found in Jerusalem CROSS JERUSALEM — The old- est Jewish ritual baths ever found by archeologists — predating those at Masada by 150-200 years — were un- covered in the Hebrew Uni- versity's third season of ex- cavations, at the Hasmonean winter palaces site, south of Jericho, at the mouth of Wadi Kelt. The excavations were con- ducted by the university's institute of archeology With the aid of the military gov- ernment of Judea and Sa- maria, the department of antiquities of the ministry of education and culture, and the Israel Exploration Society. Assistance was also given by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. Su- pervisor of the dig is archi- tect Ehud Netzer. (Menczel) of the university's institute of archeology.

The excavators this sea- son finished uncovering the large reception hall in Her- od's winter palace, uncov- ered last winter. The foun- dation of the ornamented marble floor which had graced this hall (and was stolen) is preserved almost in its entirety. Under it, a decorative mosaic floor be- longing to a villa was re- vealed. It too is from the Herodian period, and was there before the palace was built. The remnants of a large dwelling from the Second Century CE were uncovered in their entirety in the course of the excavations. This house was apparently destroyed by fire during the Bar Kokhba revolt. Out- standing among the fixtures and pottery found in it is a round oil lamp with 17 aper- tures, decorated with a grapevine motif. To the west of the pool, a block of buildings including bath houses and ritual baths was uncovered. The ritual baths found here are the earliest known in any archeological find. In some ings of Josephus Flavius. It turns out that Samarat is an artificial tel which served as the foundation for a building standing upon it. The southern part of the tel functioned as.a theater from which viewers could watch horse and chariot races on the adjacent track. Parts of the wall surround- ing the 320 by 80 meter race track were uncovered. This hippodrome is one of the few of its kind to have ex- isted in this country in the past, and i,s the earliest among them. Meanwhile, scientists at Hebrew University are mov- ing from laboratory to. pilot plant with a process for rapid production of a pro- tein substance by fermenta- tion. The university thus joins the scientific centers seeking industrial solutions to the world food shortage. The university's fermen- tation unit, situated in the Gudelsky Building on the medical campus, has just signed a two-year contract with Dor Chemicals, Ltd., of Haifa, for development of a process for the production HARVARD - ROW MALL • • Goldsmiths • Precision Watches • Precious Stones HARVARD ROW SHOPPING CENTER 24 Stores & Services 11 Mile & Lahser Lahser & 11 Mile—Ph. 353-3146 imam MIZRACHI TOURS 0 1111 Cordially Invites You to Attend Its Annual JERUSALEM SOLIDARITY CONFERENCE JULY 18-21, 1975 in Jerusalem, Israel With the Participation of The President of the State of Israel The Prime Minister Cabinet Ministers The Chief Rabbis Tours available in connection with this conference including: 10 days July 12 - 22 $ 925 For reservations July 13 - 23 and information contact: 2 weeks July 7 - 21 $ 985 July 13 - 27 3 weeks July 6 - 27 $1095 July 13 - Aug 3 Flight only — $775 OCYS Mizrachi Tours of other trips available 23125 Coolidge Oak Park 398- 71 80 Our Exciting Collection of FALL FUR FASHIONS IN NOW Ready For Your Inspection Safe—Scientific—Temperature Controlled—Insured Deep Pelt Cleaning and Glacing Repairing and Remodeling If the process reaches the stage of full produc- tion, it will yield up to 100,000 tons per year of a protein-rich poultry feed, replacing one-fourth of the soy bean feed imported annually in Israel at a sav- ing of some $30 million yearly in- precious foreign exchange.

Further, it will point to a way to re- lease for human consump- tion a portion of the world's fish harvest now turned into fish meal for animals. The head of the fermenta- tion unit, Prof. Richard I.

Saturday & Sunday Holtzman Sees Russian Home, Another Stopped Two of five Congressmen visiting the Soviet Union last week had mixed results when they tried to visit vil- lages where their ancestors came from. The Congressmen are members of the House Judi- ciary Committee's subcom- mittee on immigration. Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman (D-NY) was given V.I.P. treatment, and she conferred with Val- erie Turchin, head of the Moscow chapter of Amnesty International and . other Russian dissidents. She was treated to a ban- quet in her mother's village near Kiev. Her mother left Russia in 1921, and is head of the Russian department at Hunter College. - Rep. Edward Mezivinsky (D-Iowa), however, was told that his family could not visit their ancestral village because it was located in a "closed area."
