Hammer Drills,
Meets Begin

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The long
search for oil in Israel will
continue, and for the first
time, it will involve offshore
drilling as well.
Oil magnate Armand Ham-
mer announced at a news con-
ference that he had signed a
$25 million deal with Israel's
Energy Ministry, and would
begin building Israel's first
offshore drilling rig on a plat-
form some 10 miles off the Tel
Aviv coastline.
The platform, to be
operated by Hammer's Oc-
cidental Petroleum Co., is ex-
pected to begin operation by
the end of the year.
Hammer also visited for a
half hour with ex-Prime
Minister Menachem Begin at
his Jerusalem home. Ham-
mer is one of the few outsiders
whom Begin entertains at his
apartment, which has become
his veritable hermitage since
he quit office in 1983.
Hammer told reporters that
he urged the former premier
to begin writing his memoirs
soon, and that he had found
Begin in good health.

Police Injured

Jerusalem (JTA) — Six
police officers were injured
Tuesday morning battling
Arabs inside the Jerusalem
district courthouse on
Saladin Street. All required
hospital treatment.
They were attacked while
escorting a handcuffed Arab
whose detention period had
just been extended. An Arab
mob estimated to number bet-
ween 30 and 40 burst into a
corridor wielding what were
described as "sharp objects?'
The attackers, believed to
be relatives of the prisoner,
were apparently trying to free
him.

Americans Help
Arabs Rebuild

Houston (JTA) — An
American-Israeli fund has
been set up to finance the
rebuilding of Arab-owned
homes in the West Bank
village of Beita, site of an
April clash between Arab
villagers and Jewish settlers
that left 16-year-old settler
Tirza Porat dead.
The Israeli army blew up 14
of the village's houses,
although an army report
found Porat died from a bullet
fired by a fellow settler and
not from Arab stoning, as was
initially reported.
