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-

have been preserved for 2.000
years.
The problem now is to find
the Shapira scroll, which hasn't
heen seen since Shapira died.
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.

During the past week, the

ed by Charles W. Terry, has
held some 20 hours of hearing'
and acted tentatively on all
changes suggested by interested
groups.
Terry hopes to have new pay
schedules, complete with the
latest changes, ready for action
At salary hearings, the Ore-!
gnn State hmployees Associa
tion was officially disappointed
with the amount of money set
aside for state workers, but
complimented the Civil Service
Commission on its efforts to
work out equitable raises.
A total of S10 million was
appropriated by the state legis
lature for salary increases over
by the state emergency board the next two years, but more
within two weeks.
Part Would B Lost
He pointed out that unless the
pay hikes are acted on by the
emergency board by July 1, part
of the S4. 550. 000 would be lost
than S2 million will go for aca

it had received a hint from the
White House that "some kind of
organization" was behind the
group of scientists who signed
the petition.
Pravda said everybody ought
to know the group was support
