Washinctori IP A Biblical ftrholar believed today the Dead Sea scrolls have weakened doubts raised 7 years ago over the authenticity of a scroll v.iiich contained a variation of the .Ten Commandments. The forgotten scroll purported to he an ancient text of Deuter onomy. If it is authentic, its sig nificance lies in its variance with the known version of the Ten Commandments. Doubts Said Weakened Dr. Menahem Mansoor, chair man of the Department of He brew Studies at the University of Wisconsin, said yesterday the doubts raised over the authen ticity of the forgotten scroll "are nubstantially weakened" by the Dead Sea scroll discoveries. Mansoor wrote his opinions in the current issue of the Na tional Jewish monthly. B'nai B'nth magazine. He is one of the scholars working on trans lations of the Dead Sea scrolls. Mansoor urged a full-scale re investigation of the forgotten document, known as the "Sha pira Scroll." The scroll was named for its discoverer, M. W. Shapira, a Polish Jew converted to Christianity. Shapira commit ted suicide when he was accused of forging the document. The scroll was branded a J forgery when first examined 74 ! years ago by Brit'sh museum ex perts. They scoffed at the the- Here lies the body of Jonathan Near Whose mouth it stretched from ear to ear. Trcad softly, stranger, o'er this wonder.

The British museum lvis only photographic copies which were made when its experts first ex amined the document. Made up of 15 strips of em balmed leather, the Shapira scroll was written in an Archaic Phoenician Hebrew script. It was found by an Arab Nomad in a cave near the Dead Sea.
