TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
remains of a large, fortified
township ruled by the Ju-
dean kings, has. been un-
earthed on the southern
slopes of Mt. Hebron by a
team of Tel Aviv University
archeologists headed by
Prof. Moshe Kochavi.
The town, at a site known
as Tel Ira, dates from about
the time of the destruction
of the first Temple in
Jerusalem.
Jews who returned from
the Babylonian exile reset-
tled the town but aban-
doned it in the Seventh Cen-
tury, a century after the
Arab conquest of Judea.

Pentagon Told
to Keep Quiet
AMERICA'S FOREMOST LANDSCAPER
NEW YORK — News-
week magazine reported
that disappointed Pentagon
officials were not able to ask
Israel about the perform-
ance of the U.S.-supplied
F-15 fighters that partici-
pated in an air battle over
Lebanon last month.
Upset that Israel used the
plane in what it described as
a "non-defensive" role,' the
State Department banned
any communications with
Israel over the performance
of the F-15 in its first corn-
bat mission.

Jane Stern to Address Bar-Ilan
Workers' Meeting on Aug. 22
Mrs. Jerome (Jane) Stern,
president of the American
board of overseers of Bar-
Ilan University, will be the
speaker at the parlor meet-
ing of the Detroit Friends of
Bar-Ilan University, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ber-
nard Stollman, 26 Indian
Mound Rd., Birmingham,
Aug. 22.
Mrs. Stern will speak on
the urgent need for schol-
arships at the university.
The Aug. 22 gathering is
preliminary to the annual
dinner to be held Sept. 18 at
Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
Emery Klein and Robert
Naftaly are co-chairmen of
the annual dinner commit-
tee.
Born in London,
England, Jane Stern was
raised in the tradition of
commitment to Israel and
Jewish causes.
Together with her hus-
band, Mrs. Stern is a reg-
JANE STERN
ular visitor to Israel. They
are particularly involved in
supporting Jewish educa-
tion, medical research, cul-
tural institutions and other
projects in America and Is-
rael.
Mrs. Stern is the
president of the American
Board of Overseers of Bar-
Ilan. She has been elected
vice chairman of the uni-
versity's Board of Trustees.
She is a member of the
board of directors of the
American-Israel Cultural
Foundation, the American
Friends of the Israel
Museum and of the Man-
hattan High School Misifta
Or Torah.
For many years Mrs.
Stern has been active on
behalf of Israel Bonds
and has occupied a
number of positions of
leadership in that orgy
ization. She is now the L
tional chairman of the
Women's Division of
State of Israel Bonds.
Co-chairmen Klein and
Naftaly pointed to the large
number of Sephardic stu-
dents taught at Bar-Ilan
and at special classes spon-
sored in several com-
munities throughout the
land, and urged increased
giving to the scholarship
fund to enable expansion of
the program.
Bar-Ilan Plans Language Unit
RAMAT GAN — Bar-Ilan
University's faculty of
humanities will offer sev-
eral new programs related
to language in the fall.
According to Dean David
Sohlberg, the School of
Harvard Fills
Sephardic Chair
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
(JTA) — Yosef Yerushalmi,
professor of Hebrew and
Jewish history at Harvard
University, has become the
first Jacob E. Safra profes-
sor of Jewish history and
Sephardic civilization.
The Safra professorship
was established by Edmond
Safra, an international
banker, in honor of his late
father. The Safra family be-
came bankers more than a
century ago in the Ottoman
empire.

Translators and interpret-
ers will now train trans-
lators in Arabic. It pre-
sently trains translators in
English and French.
Bar-Ilan will also offer a
minor in linguistics, incor-
porating classes in the sub-
ject in Hebrew, English and
other areas to offer the
minor. The university is
also considering establish-
ing a Center for Languages
to offer courses in English,
French, German, Russian,
Spanish and possibly other
languages on a non-
university level as exten-
sion courses.
Dean Sohlberg also
announced that an Insti-
tute for Literary Studies
is about to be established
at Bar-Han to further re-
search and publication in
an area of study shared
by the departments of
world literature,
classical studies, English
and American literature,
French civilization and
linguistics.
The overall approach will
be interdisciplinary, treat-
ing literature not as a series
of isolated artifacts but, in
line with the most recent
scholarship, as the interac-
tion between the individual
consciousness of the writer
and the prevailing aesthe-
tic, philosophical, and
sociological configuration of
his era. Modern linguistic
studies, notably the concern
with 'deep structure,' will
form an integral part of
such research.
The institute will be re-
sponsible for organizing in-
ternational conferences at
Bar-Ilan with leading
scholars invited from
abroad, for publishing the
proceedings of such confer-
ences, for setting up staff
and funding for research
projects, and for regularly
issuing a scholarly journal
of international. standing.
GENEVA (JTA) — The
announcement by the
Jewish-owned Placette
chain of stores that it would
hold a one-day sale of
"Granny Smith" apples, the
profits to be donated to help
Vietnamese refugees, drew
a protest from the Swiss
Socialist Party and a
colorful comment in the
local press.
The Socialists objected
because the apples are im-
ported from South Africa.
One newspaper wrote,
"Black apples sold by white
to help the yellows."
Arabs claim that the
plight of the Palestinians is
the heart of the Arab-Israeli
conflict, which will not be
ended unless the Palesti-
nian question is solved. The
truth is that the Palestinian
question is the result of the
conflict.
