SINAI DESERT, PALESTINE 
Israeli officials remain silent about any leads in the murders of four archaeologists at a tiny camp near the Israeli border Sunday. All were from the Berlin Polytechnic Institute Archaeology Department. Two ancient scrolls purported to date from the time of Christ are reported missing, one allegedly wrapped in linen cloth used in His burial. A spokesman commenting for the Israeli Army investigation of the incident reported only that the attack was made with automatic rifles sometime late Friday. All members of the project party were killed instantly. The camp and equipment were not damaged or stolen. Palestinian terrorists have been ruled out as suspects

Leading international historians and archaeologists met in Berlin today for a memorial service.
