West Point Chapel Stresses
Jewish Ties to Academy
WEST POINT, N.Y. —
Last month's ground-
breaking ceremony for the
first. JeWish chapel at the
United States Military
Academy here brought one
of this country's _best kept
military secrets out into the
open — yes, there are Jews
at West Point.
Although the current
Jewish enrollment of 49
cadets at the West Point re-
presents only one percent of
the academy's 4,400 stu-
dents, Jews have always
played an important role at
the school. The academy's
first graduating class in
1802 was made up of two
cadets; one of them being
Jewish. Simon Levy, Who
had been accepted on the
strength of his "good con-
duct" as a sergeant at the
Battle of Maumee Rapids,
which ended the 1794 In-
dian War in Ohio, was
commissioned a second
lieutenant.
The pattern of Jewish
enrollment at the academy
has not changed much over
the years, with a total rang-
ing from the low 30s to the
50s and an average of 10
Jewish graduates a year.
More than 200 Jewish West
Pointers served in World
War II and there are now
about 300 Jewish alumni of
the academy.
Among the Jewish
graduates currently serv-
ing the U.S. armed forces
are several prominent
generals. Lieut. Gen.
Bennett L. Lewis (class of
1950) is a Deputy Assis-
tant Secretary of Defense
and Lieut. Gen. Lincoln
D. Faurer (class of 1950) ;
now of the Air Force, is
director of the National
Security Agency. Brig.
Gen. Eugene Fox is de-
puty director of testing at
the office of the Secretary
of Defense.

Inquiry Panel Ends Hearings Cohens Plant Grove in Israel
)tir
JERSALEM (JTA)— The
commission of inquiry into
the west Beirut refugee
camps-massacre of last Sept..
16 18 ended its formal hear-
ings after it became un-
necessary ,for Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon to
appear before the body a
second time.
He had been summoned
by chief of army intelligence
Gen. Yehoshua Saguy for
cross examination on cer-
tain points of his original
testimony. But attorneys
for the two men agreed at
the last minute that Sharon
would make written replies
to key questions.
The hearings, in progress
since last Oct. 20, would
have concluded their second
round with Sharon's
scheduled re-appearance.
The panel is now expected to
finish work and submit its
recommendations within
the next few weeks.
Sharon and Saguy
were among nine senior
Israeli political and mili-
tary figures warned by
the commission in No-
vember that they might
be harmed if the panel
reached .certain conclu-
sions on the basis of their
original testimony.
The law provides that
persons so notified may re-
appear to give additional
testimony, examine evi-
dence and question wit-
nesses. But this is not man-
datory.

UN Resolution
242 Unclear?
There is disagreement
over what Resolution 242's
statement of principles
means. Arabs hold that Is-
rael must withdraw from all
territories. Israel and the
United States disagree,
pointing to the fact that the
resolution deliberately
avoided the use of the word
all.
