Bella Hordes

Bella Hordes, widow of
"Mister JNF"William
Hordes, died Nov. 1 at age 90.
From 1940 until the death
of her husband, Mrs. Hordes
shared her husband's local
and national involvements in
the Jewish National Fund
and in Zionist causes. She
became known as the "JNF
hostess" and the Hordes'
home became a welcoming
place for leaders in Zionism.
She was an organizing force
in Pioneer Women (now
Na'amat) and in Labor Zionist
ranks. In the past 20 years,
even during her recent il-
lness, she campaigned for the
Israel equivalent of the Red
Cross, the Magen David
Adom.

A JNF forest in Israel and
other honors were bestowed
on Mrs. Hordes and her hus-
band in recognition of their
generosity in a variety of
causes.

Mrs. Hordes took special
pride in the halutziut
(pioneering) and aliyah of her
son, Herbert, who settled first
in pre-state Israel as a stu-
dent at the Thchnion, inter-
rupting his studies to have a
share in the action during
Israel's War of Independence,
continuing his residence after
his military service.
Mrs. Hordes is survived by
a daughter, Mrs. Edward
(Evelyn) Wishetsky; two sons,
Earl and Herbert of Israel;
eight grandchilden and six
great-grandchildren.

Speculation Continues
On Columbus' Pedigree

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Specula-
tion over Christopher Colum-
bus has been alive since the
1930s, when the Spanish
scholar, Salvador de
Madriaga, made a case for it.
Could Columbus have been
of Jewish ancestry?
There are grounds to
•
believe so, said Italy's am-
bassador to Israel, Alberto
Leoncini Bartoli, who spoke
to the opening of the Colum-
bus Exhibition at the Na-
tional Maritime Musuem in
Haifa Saturday.
Bartoli admitted that
"nothing is settled" about
Columbus' origin. But "there
might be something in the
claim" that he was Jewish,
the envoy said.
He noted that Columbus'
mother, "a daughter of the
Fontanarosa family, was nam-
ed Susanna, which is a
Jewish name."
The Italian port city of
Genoa claims him as a native
son and will celebrate the
500th anniversary of his
voyage of discovery in 1992.
The envoy invited Israel to
participate.
So has Spain, under whose
auspices Columbus sailed.
Spain is planning a year-
long celebration of the event,
which coincides with the
500th anniversary of the ex-
pulsion of Jews from that
country.
Spain will also be highlight
the contributions made by
Jews to Spanish culture and
history.
Could Columbus have been
one of them? Some scholars
have pointed out that his
family name, Colon, was one
used by Marranos — Jews

Palestinians
Export To E.C.

Brussels (JTA) — A new
trade era will begin at the
end of this month when the
first direct export of Palesti-
nian agricultural produce
from the West Bank and Gaza
Strip reach the European
market, European Communi-
ty sources said Tuesday.
The initial consignment of
6,000 tons, mainly grapefruit
grown in Gaza, will go to im-
porters in West Germany, Bri-
tain, Holland and Denmark.
A total of 16,000 tons of
fruits and vegetables from the
Israeli-administered ter-
ritories is expected under a
contract between Israel, the
Palestinian exporters and the
E.C.
Until now, exports from the
territories had to be
marketed through Agrexco,
the official Israel government
export agency. Israel was
reluctant to allow Palesti-
nians to export their goods
independently.
But Israel, bowing to
pressure from the E.C. Ex-
ecutive Commission and the
Parliament of Europe, agreed
to allow direct Palestinian
exports.
Israel was forced to make
that concession so that the
E.C.'s Strasbourg-based
legislative body would ratify
three trade protocols that
Israel signed with the 12
member-states over a year
ago.
