Facts Refute the Arab Charges of 'Political Archeology'

(Continued from Page 1)
The dig currently being
conducted during the sum-
mers at Caesarea under the
auspices of Drew Univer-
sity, Madison, N.J., also
exemplifies the openness of
Israel to impartial archeol-
ogy. With a permit from the
Israeli Department of An-
tiquities, Drew has been
sending students and fa-
culty from a consortium of
colleges and universities
from the United ,States and
Canada to dig out from the
dy soil along the
editerranean coast the
illtr
harbor city that Herod built
in honor of his patron in
Rome, Caesar Augustus.
For nine summer seasons
the teams of diggers have
worked to excavate the
many layers of habitation at

Caesarea — Crusader, Is-
lamic, Byzantine, Roman-
Herodian and Hellenistic.
All levels are treated with
equal respect. In fact, one of.
the areas that has so far not
been investigated by the
teams from Drew is the
synagogue, which lies as its
original excavator Avi
Yonah left it years ago.
Hopefully, Drew can
eventually shed light on the
many levels of rebuilding
apparent in its confusing
remains. Of the many vol-
unteers working at
Caesarea only a few are
Jewish.
Volunteers from all
over the world come to
dig in Israel. They come
for a variety' of reasons:
religious dedication, ad-
venture, historical zeal.

Lenin's Secretary
Is Living in Israel

(Continued from Page 1)
Maria Michailowna
was born 81 years ago in
America as daughter of a
Russian immigrant family
(Hirshberg), which re-
turned to Russia. Maria
studied in the University of
St. Petersburg. During the
revolution, she worked in
the press department of the
Commissar's Council as
secretary to Lenin and
Trotsky. Afterward, she
was sent on a diplomatic
mission to Berlin as secre-
tary of the Russian Ambas-
sador Adolf Jaffa (Ab-
ramowicz) and after a while
shebecame his wife.

Later, she was deported to
several detention camps in
Russia. After 27 years of
suffering, she was rehabili-
tated in 1956 by the Russian
authorities and emigrated
to Israel, though, as she
admits, she had negative
feelings for Zionism.
When she arrived in Is-
rael, she was sent to a
home for elderly people
in Bat Yam. When the late
leader of the Pioneer
Women movement Beba
Idelson (who was once a
student in St. Petersburg)
heard that Maria
Michailowna was in Bat
Yam, she visited her and
moved her into the
Brodezki House in Ramat
Aviv. There she wrote her
novel "The Long Night."
She is confined to bed
owing to her heart condi-
tion. She likes to talk about
her 27 years in detention
camps. She has a room for
herself. She has several
friends in the home, but
does not attend cultural
events or watch TV, since
she does not speak Hebrew.
The only thing she enjoys
are the Russian programs
on the Israeli radio.
The irony is that the
former secretary of the
founders of the Bolshevik
Revolution Lenin and
Trotsky, who worked in the
Soviet Commissar Council
and lived for a long time in
Russian detention camps,
is living today in a city,
which bears the name. of the
founder of political Zionism,
Theodor Herzl.

One need only look
through the issues of
"Biblical Archeology
Review," a magazine
published to ( irculate in-
formation abcut current
archeology in the Holy
Land, to realize that
many colleges and uni-
versities throughout the
world are sponsoring
"digs" in Israel. Obvi-
ously Israel welcomes
this spontaneous effort.
It needs all the help it can
get. Archeology is a slow

and painstaking process,
and where recovery is
being made under care-
ful supervision,
encouragement is given
to continue exploration.

After the Al-Aqsa Mos-
que on the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem was bombed sev-
eral years ago by a de-
mented young Christian
from New Zealand, the
Christian Science Monitor
carried an article about and

Arabs Resort to Subterfuge
for Anti-Semitism
Javits

PALM BEACH, Fla.
(JTA) — Former U.S. Sen.
Jacob Javits of New York
warned that Arab prop-
agandists in the United
States are resorting to "a
very clever subterfuge for
anti-Semitism" by insinuat-
ing that the American
Jewish community dictates
the policies of Israel.
In an address to leaders of
the Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith, Javits
said that Arab countries
had learned "how to use
lawyers and public rela-
tions experts, how to send
speakers around to college
campases and other places
where public opinion is
made."
These techniques, he
said, are now being em-
ployed to suggest that
"whatever Israel does that
the U.S. doesn't like has
been fomented by the
American Jewish commu-
nity. It's a very subtle and
very dangerous thesis with
no element of truth what-
ever." •
Javits made his re-
marks at the four-day
meeting of ADL's na-
tional executive commit-
tee. The speech followed
presentation to him of the
ADL's Haym Salomon
Award in honor of "his
contributions to Ameri-
ca's democratic society,"
by Edgar Bronfman,
President of the World
Jewish Congress.
In an earlier part of the
program, Maxwell Green-
berg, ADL's national
chairman, discussed the
problem of contemporary
anti-Semitism and cited a
sharp increase in anti-
Jewish episodes reported by
ADL last year.
He singled out the United
Nations for creating an at-
mosphere which "makes it
fair play to go after Jews
wherever and whenever the
occasion fits." He equated
"anti-Zionist" pronounce-
ments in the United Na-
tions with "anti-Semitism."

Brith, told the meeting that
the United States should
take action against the
"manipulation" of the
United Nations by the
Palestine Liberation
Organization.
Dr. Korey said the U.S.
must "oppose and resist
with resolute firmness
and degeneration of the
UN, specifically its
encouragement . . . of
anti-Israel and anti-
Semitic bigotry through
legitimization of the
PLO."
Dr. Korey said the United
States should cut off fund-
ing for any UN programs
which are "tainted by the
Zionism-equals-racism
resolution" or which are
dominated by the PLO. He
cited two such programs —
the General Assembly's
committee on rights of the
Palestinian people and the
Secretariat's Special Unit
on Palestinian Rights — for
which American financial
support has already been
withdrawn.
In a related development
Prof. Alan Dershowitz of
Harvard University law
school said that anti-
Semites of the far left and
far right are so strapped for
new anti-Jewish prop-
aganda that each is stealirig
material from the other.
Dershowitz also cited an-
other dimension of left
wing-right wing coopera-
tion. He said there are
"cooperative ties and lin-
kage among neo-Nazi and
neo-fascist movements in
Western Europe and evi-
dence of support for those
groups by Libya and the
PLO, both of which are in
turn allies of the Soviet
Union .7

visiting the site with a team
of archeologists, architects
and engineers so that the
building could be restored
as soon as possible to its
former beauty, with a re-
spect for the religious and
historical importance of the
site. Both this mosque and
the Dome of the Rock on the
Temple Mount are revered
and maintained as religious
centers with access avail-
able to all, except on Fri-
days, the Moslem Sabbath,
when only Moslems may
enter.
In a country where arche-
ology is a national pastime,
where one need only scratch
the, surface of the soil or
plow a field to uncover ar-
tifacts from past civiliza-
tions, Israel has opened its
fields of research to interna-
tional archeologists who
will help to write the com-
posite history of the country
from all its periods of occu-
pation.
