Israeli Find Ancient Synagogue
An ancient Samaritan synagogue was discovered in the Biblical plain of Ajalon, near the Latrun monastery, during the recent military operations. This is the first record of Samaritan life to be uncovered BO far south of Samaria, authorities Mid.

The excavators established the date of the synagogue as of the First Century A. D. They found that its architecture resembled houses of worship already un-

earthed in central Palestine. Inscriptions and potsherds confirmed this theory, they said.
A leading archaeologist, who declined to be named, said that the discovery represented the first time that traces of the Samaritan community had been found in the coastal region.
The ancient town of Ajalon is known to have been situated between Latrun and the village of El Kubab, but excavations, carried out by the Dominican Biblical Institute of Jerusalem about aix years ago, failed to reveal it '

A� a reealt of frontline condition* in the area, it is not possible at the moment to pursue investigations on the spot but it is presumed that the diggings will be resumed after the Israel-Arab war ends.
The archaeologist remarked that this was the first discovery of an ancient site to be made during the war. He recalled that the famous Ein Doch mosaic, found near Jericho during World War I, also came to light accidentally when a shell exploded on the site near the Mount of Temptation.
The Samaritans are descendants of the tribes brought to Palestine by Shalmaneser, King of Assyria, when Israel was overrun and occupied in the Seventh Century before Christ. The Samaritans lived there continuously and there is still a tiny community today on Mount Gerizim, outside of Nablus.
JDC MAKES DP CAMP OF DINGY BARRACKS
The swift conversion of a few bare wooden barracks into a well-furnished and equipped camp for Rumanian Jewish DP's was described by William Ross, recently returned to the United States after 17 months as Area Team representative in Bamberg, Germany, for the Joint Distribution Committee, major American agency aiding distressed Jews overseas. Set up in March at Bindlach, near Bayreuth, the camp served to reunite 250 hungry, poorly-clothed, and panic-stricken Rumanian Jews who had

been living in three scattered transient camps in the U.S. Zone. The group, consisting mostly of family groups, had fled by foot through Austria in the hope of early emigration to Israel.
On the day they so unexpectedly arrived, JDC was on hand to provide rations totalling 1500 calories per person. Another 1500 calories were supplied by the Germans. This diet of 3000 calories a day was continued. A few days later, clothing was distributed, and within three weeks after their arrival a school for the children was put into operation. The JDC also secured identification cards for the newcomers.
"Conversion of dingy barracks into something resembling a dwelling place was quite a problem," Mr. Ross recalled. "We had beds, but no mattresses, bathing or laundry facilities." Largely through the assistance of Dr. Philip Auerbach, Commissioner of Racial and Political Refugees in the American Zone, toileU.and showers were obtained.
A30o high in importance was the serious need for medical and dental attention for the weary, dispirited group. A doctor visited the camp regularly from nearby Bay-
reuth. DP's suffering from tuberculosis were sent to sanatoria, while arrested cases were given enriched diets and supplementary rations! Pregnant mothers were sent to hospitals in the area for pre-natal care, and a JDC dentist visited the camp three times a week to give dental treatment. The dentist even improvised a chair for examinations.
The response of the Jewish community in Bayreuth helped immensely in organizing the camp and performing liaison work. The new arrivals saw a movie the first week they spent at Bindlach, thanks to the Jewish people of Bayreuth, who waived their chance to see it in order to raise the morale of the distraught Rumanian families.
Before going overseas for the JDC in February 1947, Mr. Ross was employed by the New York City Department of Welfare. During thia time he was also engaged in social group work for the Henry Street Settlement. He was graduated from City College of New York in 1929 with a B.A. degree, and did graduate work both at City College and in the New York School of Social Work.
