Herbert Lehman Dies in New York New York (JTA)—Herbert II Lehman, who combined extraordinary careers in American general and Jewish leadership, died suddenly of a heart attack this week at the age of H5. He was twice elected to theUnited States Senate, he served New York as governor for ten years, he was the iirst directoi general of the United Nations Relief and Hehabilitation A;.;en cy and remained active in Dem ocratic reform policies almost to the day of his death. His Jew ish career was equally notable In Washington, President Lyn don Johnson issued a statement declaring he was g r i e v e d to learn of the death, terming the late leader one who "ably and effectively served his state and nation." The President said that perhaps the "best epitaph" was the citation on the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civil h o n o r conferred by the President for service in peacetime, which Mr. Lehman had been scheduled to receive the day after he died. The citation read: "Citizen and Statesman— he has used wisdom and compassion as the tools of government and has made politics the highest form of public service." The Senate paused to pay tribute to the late leader. Senate Majority leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirkscn offering remarks of tribute. A number of other Senators j o i n e d in the eulogies. Mayor W a g n e r and Gov. Rockefeller d e c l a r e d 30-day mourning periods in the city and state and flags on all state buildings were ordered to fly at halfmast during the :i(j-day period. Since flags are presently at halfmast in mourning for the I a t e President Kennedy, tho Governor's Order extended to January 5 the period during which the half-staff position will be continued. Mr. Lehman was the recipient of many awards, citations and honorary degrees from many sources and institutions of higher learning. In 1941, he received the honorary degree of doctor of laws from the Jewish Theo-' logical Seminary. He -was the recipient of at least 15 other honorary degrees from many colleges and universities, ranging from Yeshiva College to Fordham University.

London OTA) — Pope Paul's unprecedented visit to the Holy Land next month became embroiled this week in the ArabIsraeli rivalry. The Vatican announced that the visit would take place from January 4 to January 6 and that the Pontiff probably w o u l d spend one day in the old city of Jerusalem, held by Jordan, and one day in Nazareth, the birthplace of Christ. There was no indication as to other elements of his itinerary. A r a b newspapers declared that the Papal visit to Israel would be considered by Arabs as "a recognition of aggression" against the Arab countries. While Israeli officials indicated that they had not yet received any official communication about the Pop's scheduled visit, they went a h e a d with plans for strict security precautions. Israel's Embassy in R o m e forwarded to Jerusalem the text of the Pope's announcement to the closing meeting of the second session of the Ecumenical Council on his planned visit but officials in Jerusalem said that nothing more had been received. They stressed that everything would be done to accord the Pontiff a "warm and proper welcome." They denied a r e p o r t from Rome that an official of the Pope's Secretariat had secret contacts last month with Israeli officials about the visit.
Publicity in The Jewish Press All articles for tho . Jewish Press Must bo in writing. Deadline for copy is Friday noon.
•Maurice Fisher, Israel's Ambassador in Rome, said Ihcra would not be any difficulties about the visit from the fact that the Vatican has never recognized Israel, adding thai tho Pope's Journey "is of purely religious character." He a d d e d that "as far as diplomatic contacts are concerned, the situation is the same between the Vatican and Jordan as it is between the Vatican and Israel. There are no established relations but the principal point is that the whole event has nothing to do with politics or protocol. There is free access to the Holy Places for any pilgrim." C h i e f Rabbi Elio Toaff of Rome said that "the spontaneous decision of the Pontiff" to visit the Holy Land "was without doubt dictated by profound religious m o t i v e s . Since tho Holy Places are situated in Israel as well as in Jordan, this visit will not fail to have beneficient effects for pacification among the nations of the Middle East and thus for the peace of the world."
