Detroit College of Law Love, Judee & Bob Helene & Steve Jerusalem (JTA) — With elections just three weeks away, Labor and Likud began a television campaign blitz aimed at winning votes on June 23. But it remains to be seen whether the public, already jaded by election propagan- da., will respond to more of the same on the tube, polit- ical pundits said. The main themes of the two parties' commercials became evident in the first 40 minutes of prime time. Labor depicted Likud as a party grown fat and corrupt after too many years in of- fice. Likud attacked Labor for trying to hide its dovish feathers behind the hawkish image of Yitzhak Rabin, who was known as a tough defense minister. Likud's opening spot showed Prime Minister Yit- zhak Shamir promising in 1988 to launch a peace pro- cess and bring in waves of immigrants. A quick fade to the Madrid peace conference opening and Ethiopians ar- riving on Operation Solomon showed his promises fulfilled. Mr. Shamir came on himself to assert the task was only half done and promised full employment and complete absorption under a Likud regime. In a separate clip, the prime minister spoke a few words in Russian, and a Russian version of Likud's campaign jingle was sung. Labor, as expected, devoted its first commercial exclusively to Rabin. It showed footage of him as a young military commander in 1948, as chief of staff in 1967, then as ambassador to the United States, as prime minister from 1974 to 1977 and as minister of defense in the 1980s. Likud retaliated with clips of Labor figures like Abba Eban and Ezer Weizman saying in the past that Rabin was unfit to be prime minister. Labor's next commercial showed Likud leaders Ariel Sharon and David Levy fiercely criticizing Mr. Shamir. A Labor spot showing cigar-smoking men and ex- pensively dressed women used voice-over and a mon- tage of newspaper clippings to depict Likud as a party gone bad with corruption. Labor and Likud can each be expected to respond to the other's jibes and jabs in the nights ahead. But political observers wonder how many voters will bother watching. Since the last election campaign four years ago, an alternative second television - channel has begun broad- casting, with an estimated million viewers. Many, households are hooked up to cable television, which offers a choice of 30-odd foreign channels to watch. If the partisan dogfight fails to sustain its attention, the public will simply switch elsewhere. Dig Yields New Information Tel Aviv (JTA) — An ar- chaeological dig at Bea' Shemesh yielded evidence that hashish was used for medicinal purposes in anti- quity and cast light on obstetrical practices in the 4th century C.E. The therapeutic use of the narcotic derived from hemp is known from historical sources. But this is the first time it has been confirmed by archaeological evidence, _ according to anthropologist Joel Ziss of the Israel Anti- quities Authority. The evidence was examin- • ed by Professor Rafael Meshulam of the Hebrew University's Pharmacy School. He found a chemical constituent present only in hashish in a small mound of burned grasses and fruit. that had been deposited on the abdomen of a 14- year- old girl in the ninth month of pregnancy. The girl measured only 4- feet 7-inches tall. The re- mains of a 9-month-old fetus . was found in her womb. Her remains were found with those of 40 other people in what was a family tomb. "Presumably, the hashish was burned so she could in- hale it to ease the pain," Meshulam said. "They then placed the burnt material on her abdomen. I presume they thought this would help." The professor added that the fetus could have been delivered only by Caesarian' section. Hashish, also known as cannabis sativa, was first mentioned as an effective drug in Egypt about 1550 BCE.
