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.

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. Apple Sale Irks Swiss Socialists 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. — Near East Report, Washington Letter of American Policy in the Middle East, 1978 In the top photograph., a student works in Bar- Ilan University's language laboratory.
