Israel Now Listed in Vatican's Vearbook • Rome <JTA) — Israel was named officially by the Vatican for the first time since the State •was founded in 1918. The recognition came via the annual, 1903, edition of the "Pontifical Yearbood." The Yearbook mentioned the "Apostolic delegate of Jerusalem and Palestine," identifying the latter as the Vatican's representative in "Israel, Jordan and Cyprus," By official Vatican definition, an Apostolic delegate represents the Holy See without having diplomatic status. That form of Vatican representation holds true for all countries with which: the Vatican has no diplomatic relations.

Jewish Congress Protests Barring JTA Correspondent New York (JTA)—The American Jewish Congress sent a protest to the State Department against the barring of Milton Friedman, the Washington JTA correspondent, from a press briefing on the Arab refugee question by the Near Eastern Division of the State Department. Deploring the effort "to manage news by picking and choosing among Washington reporters," and pointing out that the action of the Near Eastern Division "is incompatible with the whole notion of free press," Will Maslow, executive director of the American Jewish Congress, said in the letter of protest: "We will not undertake to recite all of Mr. Friedman's qualifications as a responsible newspaperman, His coverage of the Washington scene, while occasionally differing from the official positions of the various incumbent Administrations, has consistently offered an honest and legitimate interpretation of events. The barring of Mr, Friedman reflects more upon the pettiness of certain State Department officials tboa on
Mr. Friedman's standing as a reputable and courageous journalist." A dispatch from Tel Aviv said the United States Information service here disseminated a statement by Lincoln White, State, Department's chief press officer, declaring he had nothing to do" with the barring of Mr. Friedman. Mr. Friedman was denied admission by Robert C. Strong, director of the State Department for Near Eastern Affairs who conducted the briefing. In Houston, Tex., Senator Hugh Scott, (Pa.), told a Bice University audience that Mr. Friedman was barred from the briefing "because the Near East Desk at the. State Department did not like the way he reports the news.'! The Senator, who first raised the issue in a Senate floor speech last week, described Mr. Friedman and the JTA in his speech aa a "fine American reporter with on American news agency." His remarks came during an address on the overall handling of news in Washington by the Kennedy Administration.
