Israeli Architecture Attracts EXPO Crowd
\^
u-
MONTREAL, (WUP)— One of the main attractions' cf the much-heralded EKPO 67r which opened amid greiit taUtaie and excitement here on April 28, is' a unique out-of-this world 12-story housing complex conceived and executed by Moshe Saf¬ die, a young IsraeU-born architect.
~ Named Habitat 67, the huge odd-shaped structure cons¬ titutes a radically new con¬ cept in urban dwelling. Its aim is to bring the advant¬ ages of suburban living to the heart of the cily. The Iiroject consists of 354 mod¬ ular constructioQ units mak¬ ing up 158 dwellings arrang¬ ed in staggered terraces so that the roodb at one level provide garden space forthe level above.
LEADING engineers, wlu> have careitilly studied Mr. Safdie's creation, hold that the project will eventually have the same ramiflcations on fiiture city planningasthe Eiffel Tower had for the steel frame building of sky¬ scrapers.
Habitat 67 consists of pre¬ cast concrete modular units Whlph, with their pre-f^- xicated' b^^hroems and kit-

Scholarship Supports Red Sea Story
WASHINGTON,  (JTA) ~ Tlie discovery of a "hot hde"   in the Red Sea In¬ dicates thatPtoadi'sEgyp- tian soldiers could literally . have been in "hot watei^' ' pursuing the fleeing Israel¬ ites at the time of the Ex¬ odus,   Dr. 'David A. Ross of the Woods Hole, Mass., ' Oceanograidilc Institution, reported to the American Geophysical Union. ^
Dr. Ross defined a "hot hole" as deep and filled with hot, very salty water, extending down to the cooler' sea bottom. He saldthe new discovery brings to tiiree the number of such hole|S fbund in the area of the R^ Sea. They are roughly op¬ posite Mecca on the Arabian side and many miles south of where the sea Is believed to have swallowed the iiur- suing Egyptian forces.
THE BIBLE relates, ,ln its account of the Exodus,, how the Israelites, pursued^ by Pharaoh's army, sa^^ly, crossed the Red Sea after "Moses stretehed out 'his ' hand over the sea; and the, Lord...made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." Thenthe Egyptians • followed hi hot pursuit but were engulfed in swirlbig and ra^ng waters.
A stwkesman for the Nat¬ iohal geographic Society stated that while "no one knows for sure" where the Israelites crossed and the Egyptiais subseauently drowned, all scholarly theories suggest that such events took place many miles nqirtti olthe newly discovered bat holes in the Red Sea.
Chens and other compart¬ ments, wero hoisted sky- , wards by a giant stiff-leg' derrick.- Elevators are con¬ veniently located and one runs non-stop to the lOtb floor which features a long, IS-foot-wide pedestt'ian street, laid out like an ele¬ gant promenade. Like aU city thorougbfiures, it con¬ tains sewers, electrical and other services beneath its pavement.
THE LIVING rooms of eaeh unit are flanked by picture windows or sliding doors leading out onto spac¬ ious terraces. The average size of the bedtanoms is about 17> X 12'. Biggest surprise in the Habitat house is tbe bathroom. Walls, fittings, shelves, tub, almost every¬ thing is made of resUient, non-slip fibreglass rein¬ forced plastic. Most signifi¬ cant of all is that every Habitat Celling has at least one private garden situated on the downstairs neighbor's roof.
Accordbig to Mr. Safdie, Habital^s current 158 ter¬ raced houses represent but phase one, of an operation, originally planned as a giant 1,000-unlt pyramid, com¬ pletely- supj^ed.with all ur:'. ban amenities. ^  •
MR; SAFDIE'S bigenlous structure, the pride of EXPO 67, was built at a cost of over $14 million. It is owned by EXPO and financed 50 per cent federally, 37 1/2 per cent provincially and 12 1/2 per cent municipklly. It will remain as a perman¬ ent housing comidex after EXPO  closes  in  October.

Hearing Delayed On Extradition  ,
RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) — Brazil's highest tribunal, the Supreme Court, postponed forl0tol4days it? scheduled hearings on three'petitions ftom foreign governmente ~ Pdand, West Germany and Austria -- for the extradition of Franz Stangl, the fomer Nazi wanted in those lands for trial on war crimes charges.

v»
Treblhika and Sobibor con¬ centration camps, where he iiad served as commandant:.
THE HIGH tribunal post¬ poned its hearings on the request ofthe Government's chief prosecutor who asked for more time to stocb' and analyze the very bulky doc¬ umentation presented by the Governments of Poland and West Germany. The doc¬ uments firom both those countries, the prosecutor told the court, had arrived rally a few days previously, and much more time was needed for their stodjr be¬ fore PolancPs and WestGer- many's extradition petitiorjs could be supported through the evidence sent here from Warsaw anc. Bonr.
The court also decided that all three governmental petitions would be consid¬ ered at a single proceeding. The Austrian dpcument^lon the. prosecutor said, was ready for presentation now. "Stangr-had brlghially' bS'en" ordered tqr .the Supreme Court to be detained fcr the maximum legal period, which expires next Sunday. But the tribunal found a leg¬ al technicality for extending the detention i)eriod by two more weeks. Stangl hadbeen arrested at Sao Paulo on March 2.
It was learned here ftom excellent sources thatStangl himself hoped he wfll not
be treed in Brazil, and would be extradited to Austria. He was said to fear "Jewish revenge" and efforts to as¬ sassinate him if he were re¬ leased in BrazU.' On the otiier haiid, it was said by those-sources, iiewouldpre- fer extradition to Austria — (Continued on Page 16)
