BANKERS' STORY By SARA American Bankers Association President Announces Semitic language, revealing the Move to Stimulate Bank source of the ancient and modern Newspaper Advertising alphabets and offering a new to New Haven, Conn. Discovery of a hitherto unknown preblbllcal key controversial passages In the Bible, was announced by Dr. Julian J. Obermann, visiting professor of Semitic languages at Yale. Cuneiform tablets, found at Ras Shamra, near Antioch, in northern Syria, disclosed the language of Canaan, and, according to Doctor Obermann, "are written In a new alphabet that proves to be the oldest known." He termed the find "an g discovery In the field of Semitic antiquities and the most Important find since the Babylon-Ia- n cuneiforms have come to light." The tablets, he said, were Inscribed during or before the Fifteenth century, B. C, and offer a previously unknown link between techniques of cuneiform and the principles of alphabetic script The Ras Shamrn tablets, he said, although written In cuneiform charac ters, employ only 30 signs, using them as alphabetic letetrs, whereas other systems known consisted of hundreds of signs representing syllables of Ideograms. The new Semitic dialects of Ras Shanira promise to throw light on the evolution of the letters common to ancient and modern alphabets, revealing how the various letter came to have their Individual shape, and bow they came to be arranged In their traditional order. As a result of the discovery, he said, Rlbllcal literature and antiquities will be better understood. Neither the language nor script was understood when the tablets first were found by an archeologl-ca- l expedition of the French Acad, emy of Inscriptions and he said. The decipherment was by French and German scholars, "opening a door to the understanding of Semitic lore and civilization which scholars only a few years ago did not know existed." epoch-makin- Belles-Let-tres- Eastman CKnic Will Be Opened in Paris in 1936 Paris.
