feet above the surrounding

Perhaps the most exciting find
of the season, an iron-working
installation dated to the period
of the Judges, is one of the
earliest known iron-working in
stallations, according to Dr.
Liebowitz. He says the complex
is a particularly rare find “since
according to the Biblical report,
very little iron work was carried
out by Israelites during the
period of the Judges.”
"Because of its continuous oc

The excavation crew was sur

JOHANNESBURG. - Some
concern is felt in the Jewish
community here at the front
page allegations in the local
Afrikaans-language daily, “Die
Vaderland,” that Jewish
professional men and wealthy
businessmen hre r quitting* or
planning to quit South Africa.
"Die Vaderland,” organ of the
ruling Nationalist Party, Says
that 600 doctors left the country
in the last few months of last
yetur and now “large iumbers of
lawyers —' about 90 per cent of
them with Jewish or English
surname^” are preparing to

To enable them to practice in -
the British Commonwealth, it
says they all apply to the high
court in Maseru, Lesotho (a
neighboring black state), to be
permitted to practice there. Last
year 220 such applications were
granted ("Die Vaderland” says it
has a list of their names) and
now they are expected to apply
for admission to Australia.
“Die Vaderland” adds that it
has “reliable information that a
number of well-established
Johannesburg businessmen are
beginning to move to Israel.”
These allegations have coin
cided with a warning in the
latest newsletter of the South
African Jewish Exservicemai e
League that "it is comm* i
knowledge that there is st I
widespread anti-Semitism in o
midst.” A recent case of arson
