Cairo Fair Ban, Quote Ominous

Camp David accords and
remains "a full and active
partner in the peace proc-
ess" in the Middle East.
That assertion, by State
Department spokesman
John Hughes, was the Ad-
ministration's first com-
ment on the alleged state-
ment by Mubarak.
Hughes said,
"President Mubarak and
other senior Egyptian of-
ficials, in their public
statements and in private
statements to us, have
made clear Egypt's con-
tinued support for the
Camp David accords."
Hughes added, "Egypt
continues to be a full and
active partner in the peace
process. In addition,
President Mubarak has
spoken out in support of the
President's (Reagan's) Sep-
tember 1982 peace initia-
tive urging King Hussein of
Jordan to enter expanded
negotiations with Israel."
Meanwhile, Rabbi Ale-
xander Schindler, president
of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, ca-
bled Mubarak urging him to
disavow this statement. "If
not, your statement deals a
serious blow to the painful
struggle for peace in the
Middle East and betrays the
ideals for which your noble
predecessor, Anwar el-
Sadat, was martyred."
The Reform leader also
noted that Mubarak's
senior foreign policy ad-
viser, Osama el-Bas, an-
nounced in Cairo last Fri-
day, a day after the Islamic
Conference decided to invite
Egypt to resume its mem-

bership in the organization
from which it was sus-
pended after signing a peace
treaty with Israel in 1979,
that Egypt planned to meet
with Jordan and the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion to work out a new ap-
proach on negotiations with
Israel on the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip.
Schindler, in his cable,
asked Mubarak: "Do you
really expect Israel to ac-
cept you as an honest broker
in such negotiations?
Should Israel take still
further risks for peace when
your words make a mockery
of Egyptian promises?"

partly employed persoris,
joined by high school
students, went on a 48-
hour rampage of looting
and pillaging in the city's
main residential and
commercial quarters. As
many as 200 were re-
ported killed or wounded
by troops and police.
The reports from Tetuan
gave rise to fear for the
safety of the city's 200-300
Jews. Although no Jews
have been hurt, several
Jewish-owned shops were
among those looted.

The mosaic floor at Bet Loya.
JERUSALEM — One of
the best executed and most
colorful mosaic floors ever
found in Israel has been dis-
covered in excavations car-
ried out by the Institue of
Archeology of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem at
the site of the ancient corn-
munity of Bet Loya (Khir-
bet Lehi) near Moshav
Amatzia and south of Bet
Govrin (Eleutheropolis) in
the Lachish region.
The excavations were
sponsored by the Archeolog-
ical Institute and the
Freeman Institute of Salt
Lake City, Utah.
The mosaic floor was dis-
covered in a Byzantine
Church and adjacent rooms
dating from the fifth or fith
Centuries, CE. Pictured in
the mosaics are colorful
geometric patterns, images
of human beings and ani-
mals, as well as biblical and
dedicatory inscriptions
written in Greek. Many of
the animal and human fig-
ures were damaged in the
early 8th Century by iconoc-
lasts, Moslems and Chris-
tians, who objected on reli-
gious grounds to the pictur-
ing of human or animal
forms. Despite this, it is still
possible to distinguish a
number of figures found in
the excavations.
Among the inscriptions
are those which tell that
Azizos and Kyrikos, who
probably were members
of the community, dedi-
cated the church. An-
other says that someone
named Epanagia dedi-
cated the mosaic floor to
the memory of a certain
Aetios. The latter was the
name of a bishop of Bet
Govrin in the Fourth
Century, CE, but it is
doubtful that the refer-
ence is to him, according
to the archaeologists.
Indications are that the
church was in use until
some time in the Eighth
Century, when the Chris-
tian community there was
disbanded. The ar-
cheologists believe that the
church may have been part
of a monastery, since there
are other structures, includ-
ing olive and wine presses
and burial caves, adjacent
to the site.
