Anti-Semitism Scope Great, Prelate Says Boston UTA)—Even well-educated Christians have almost 'total ignorance" of the long history of anti-Semitism, a fact that complicates e f f o r t s to achieve b e t t e r relations Vitv/een Christians and Jews, it was emphasized at the Second Conference on Catholic-Jewish Understanding held at Boston College. Father Edward H. Flannery, editor of the Providence Catholic "Visitor," told the 80 representatives of Boston Jewish and Catholic communities that "at most' 'the Christian has heard of an occasional pogrom and of Hitler's annihilation of Jews. For the rest, "he believes that that Jew exaggerates and is too persecution-minded." The prelate added that the Jew, "painfully aware of the magnitude of the violence and oppressions visited upon his people, c a n n o t understand the Christian indifference" and interprets it "as a warning that these may recommence at any time." Urging Catholic and Jewish co-responsibility to correct the errors of the past, he added: "The Christian has been unable to understand the Jew or his position in the world and has thus left himself open to antiJewish attitudes and feelings. 'Die Jew, similarly, has been uncomprehending of Christians but most of all, of their hatred of Jews." To help resolve the problems created by such differences in knowledge, Father Flannery proposed that the first step would be to equalize kno-.. ledge to establish recognition of the historical basis of anti-Semitism and reveal its nature and causes. He declare! that.even Popes, Saints and Church fathers have had a role in anti-Semitism and that therefore the job of understanding its history and ravages is one primarily for Christians.

Israel President To Welcome Pope Jerusalem, UTA) — President Zahnan Shazar and members of the Israel Cabinet will welcome Pope Paul VI at a small arclieological museum building fit Maggido, in northern Israel, where the Pontilf will cross into Israel from Jordan. The Po]>e will visit Christian Holy Places in Israel on January 5, as part of his unprecedented visit to the Holy Land. This welcoming arrangement reportedly was worked out at the Vatican. Initially, it was reported that the Pope planned to cross through the Mandelbaum Gate from Jordan held old Jerusalem into new Jerusalem, Israel's capital. It was asssumed that the change in plans stemmed from Arab pressures and possible Vatican doubts that the original plans might have been interpreted as a Vatican recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. After visiting Nazareth and Capernaum, the Pontiff will proceed to Jerusalem where he will ascend Mount Zion to visit the Canaculum, the site of the Last Supper. It was reported here that the Pope has expressed a desire to bless the Christian community of 4,000 in Jerusalem. Since Mount Zion cannot hold such a crowd, the ceremony will be held in one of Jerusalem's major squares. A major open mass will be held in Nazareth. The welcoming ceremony at Meggido will last 10 minutes, during which President Shazar will deliver a brief welcoming address and present the Pope with a specifically-minted gold Pilgrims Medallion set in olive wood. Similar medallions will be presented to the Cardinals accompanying the Pontiff. In Rome, Maurice Fischer, Israel's Ambassador to Italy, declared in an official statement that it was necessary" to affirm that the pilgrimage of Pope Paul VI to the Holy Land ' has an exclusively religious significance, as he himself has declared." The envoy issued the statement to correct "erroneous interpretations" which he said had been given to the visit to the Vatican by Theodore Kollek, director-general of the Israeli Prime Minister's office, and Col. Joseph Nahmias. Israeli police inspector general. The two officials joined Dr. Fischer at a meeting in the Vatican to work out final details of the Israeli portion of the Pope's visit. The meeting touched off speculation in the Italian press concerning the status of Jerusalem, which some governments still refuse to recognize as Israel's capital. "Any political interpretation given to my contact with the Vatican, or the presence of the two Israeli officials, be it in a positive or negative sense, are without foundation," Ambassador Fischer said.
Turks Won't Allow Jewish School Istanbul, Dec. 15 (JTA)—A request by the Jewish community here for the establishment of a new Jewish school has been rejected by the Turkish authorities, it was learned here today. The school was to be located in a modern section of the city now inhabited by many Jews. All the other Jewish schools are in the older quarters. The reason for the rejection by the authorities of the Jewish community's request has not been disclosed.
London, Dec. Hi (JTA)—Forty British firms under the control of Charles Clore, a Jewish financier here, and 3.1 directors and executives associated with him, were added to the Arab boycott list today. Altogether, the new boycott list includes 4!) British firms. Mr. Clore was described by the Arab boycott office as "a man of Zionist inclination." Mr. Clore, who is 50. had donated $1,000,000 to the Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovot, Israel. In addition, lie and Sir Isaac Wolfson, the noted Jewish philanthropist are associated in numerous commercial interests in Israel. A $2,000,000 loan for the construction of a new City Hall in Jerusalem had been given the Jerusalem municipality by the WolfsonClore Mayer Corporation. Mr. Clore heads a combine of interests valued at 200,000,000 pounds sterling ($500^,000,00) including a wide variety of industrial enterprises ranging from a shoe factory to shipping. Mr. Clore said at the London Airport today, prior to leaving for New York, that the Arab boycott of his group was "a lot of bloody nonsense." He added: "It will not make the slightest difference on my attitude about doing business with Israel." Meanwhile, today, M a u r i c e Orbach, secretary of the Trades Advisory Council, an organization of businessmen fighting discrimination, announced that the group is compiling a dossier of British firms on the Arab blacklist, and will place that list before the Minister of Stale at the Board of Trade.

The Union of American Hebrew Congregations today expressed shock "that a documentary f i l m on American life should be censored by an agency of the U. S. Government in order to capitulate to the prejudices of Arab nations." The film, entitled "Let Us Continue," was described in the New York Times of December 17th as a documentary that "will be sent throughout the world to explain President Johnson's position on several crucial issues." In a telegram to President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, c e n t r a l congregational body of 057 Reform synagogues in the United States, asked: "la pretending that Jews do not exist in America the price ou/ Government is prepared to pay to placate and appease the hatreds and passions of Arab powers?" The message, signed by Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath, President of the UAHC, urged President Johnson to authorize an "immediate investigation of this incident so that the damage to American honor and self-respect may be quickly repaired."
Oabinet Shortens Israel Army Service Jerusalem, Dec. 1C (JTA)— Israel's Cabinet decided to shorten the conscription period for both boys and girls. It was believed that the army service period for Israeli draftees will be lessened by several months due to the fact that statistics indicate that, in the next few years, more boya and girls in this country will reach draft age than heretofore. Rev. A l e x a n d e r Katz wishes to thank his friends and relatives for the many cards of good wishes, flowers and gifts received, and for the contributions given to organizations in his name during his illness. May their acts of benevolence be regarded as a real Mitzvah of Bikur Cholim.

The Life of Gluckel of Hameln by Gluckel of Hamcln Gluckel, the wife of Chaim Segal of Hameln, was born in Hamburg in 1(140 and began to write the story of her life in KJii'J. Her aim, she states, was to while away the long and melancholy nights which tormented her alter her husband's death, and to inform her children of their family and the stock from which she came. She could hardly have imagined that her narrative would become a classic of its kind two hundred years afterwards, nor could she have foreseen that her grief at the death of her beloved husband would lead her to give so inimitable an account not only of her own life and immediate circle, but equally of her period. What she provided is unique of its kind—it is a cross-section of Jewish History in the Germany of her time.

Mixed Marriages New York, UTA)—The Orthodox Rabbinical Council of America urged Reform Rabbis this week to refuse to perform marriages of Jews and non-Jews. In a report on three years of activity by its Rabbinical Court, the Orthodox rabbinical group said that mixed marriages "constitute a grave menace to the potential for survival of Judaism in this country." The report said that the marriage court had effected 680 reconciliations in Jewish marriages and processed 320 religious divorces. Rabbi Emnnuel Rackman, former president, said that a study of divorces issued by rabbinic authorities in the United States suggested that inter-marriage "is the most widely contributing' factor in marital discords and dissolutions."
