Meanwhile, two leftwing
members of the Knesset
Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee have said they
will boycott a scheduled
visit by the committee to
Hebron because the itiner-
ary does not include meet-
ings with local Arab lead-
ers.
Yossi Sarid (Labor) and
Victor Sherntov (Mapam)
said this would be to see
only half of the problem.
Tension in Hebron has

Other witnesses claimed he
was left on the street be-
cause yeshiva students and
security forces thought he
was an Arab.
Israel Radio said local
Arabs rushed Gross to a
Hebron Hospital where he,
was pronounced dead. He
was later transferred to a
Jewish clinic where doctors
said they detected a heart
beat but could not save him.
Israeli authorities
clamped a curfew on
downtown Hebron and
later removed Mayor
Mustapha Abdul Natshe
from office for alleged
"indirect" incitement to
violence against Jews.
But despite the curfew,
infuriated Kiryat Arba
Jews roamed the des-
erted market-place
Thursday night, setting
fire to Arab stalls.
On Friday, Israeli border
police used tear gas and
clubs and fired into the air
to disperse some 200 stone-
throwing Arabs demon-
strating on the Temple
Mount in the Old City of
Jerusalem against the Heb-
ron curfew. One policeman
and six Arabs were reported
injured and about 40 Arabs
were arrested. The police
also detained a number of
suspects in the Hebron
stabbing and the market
place arson but no further
details were released.
In Washington Friday,
the Reagan Administration
condemned the violence in
Hebrew but suggested that
the only way to end such in-
cidents was to resolve the
issues of the West Bank.
The curfew was lifted
Monday to allow Arab resi-
dents to shop for the feast of
Id Al Fiter which marks the
end of the holy month of
Ramadan. But it was reim-
posed when a confrontation
threatened between Mos-
lem and Jewish worship-
pers at the Machpela cave,
the Patriarchs tomb which
is sacred to both faiths.
According to the army,
about 3,000 Moslem wor-
shippers gathered at the
cave at 6 a.m. local time
and retaliation between
Arabs and Jewish settlers.
The settlers claim that 14
Jews have been injured in
50 stone-throwing inci-
dents, two Arab buses have
been burned and five elec-
tric poles owned by the Heb-
ron municipality have been
torn down.
Two weeks ago, explo-
sive devices were thrown
at a Hebron yeshiva;
Romano House, and at an
Israeli security vehicle.
Last Thursday, yeshiva
student Aharon Gross was
stabbed to death by three
Arabs who jumped from a
passing car while Gross was
waiting for a ride. The three
stole his Uzi submachine-
gun and fired it at pursuing
Israeli security forces who
tried to intervene.
There were conflicting
reports about the death of
Gross. Some reports
claimed that Gross lay

Shrinking Population
NEW YORK —The world
Jewish population is drop-
ping below the point of Zero
Population Growth and is
beginning a numerical de-
cline that will accelerate in
years to come, according to a
study by the American
Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee's Brookdale In-
stitute of Gerontology and
the Hebrew University In-
stitute of Contemporary
Jewry.
The study notes that de-
spite the decrease in total
Jewish population there
will be an increase in
number' of Jewish elderly,
particularly among people
over age 75, and particu-
larly in Israel, where the
number in this category is
expected to jump 150 per-
cent by the year 2000.
The study, which was
written by Professor U.O.
,
Schmelz, predicts a drop in
the number of Jews in the
Diaspora from 9.6 milliOn to
8 million if" 20 years.
,One consequence of the
shifting demographics
noted in the study is the fact
that by the end of the cen-
tury one out of every five el-
derly Jews will live in Is-
rael, as compared with one
out of eight today.
