NEW YORK, (JTA)—Pope Paul VI, addressing representatives of all major faiths at the Holy Family Church here this week, voiced a warm plea for the participation of all peoples of all religions in the world's quest for peace. Nearly 50 representatives of organizations in the United States including leaders of all three major Jewish denominations—Orothodox, Conservative and Reform —attended the session. Former Omahan Philip M. Klulznick, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, responded to the Pope on behalf of the American Jewish community. Mr. Klutznick told the Pope: "On this historic occasion of your visit to the United Nations in quest for world peace,, we greet you on behalf of the Jewish organizations and agencies related to the work of the United Nations and of the Jewish Center for the United Nations. "During this hour of trial for humanity as mankind faces continuing crises, your meeting with representatives of the faith communities gives new promise for the future. Our world yearns for a great moral revival to forestall the evil and to strive toward the realization of the Prophet's vision which Your Excellency expressed so eloquently: 'Nation sh.?tl not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.' "As a people whose ideal is shuloin, peace, we pledge our untiring efforts to help promote peace in every dimension—political, social and economic. Your presence here is one more meaningful manifestation of the moral and spiritual basis indispensible to a lasting peace with truth and justice—which material and finite resources alone cannot achieve.'1

New York (JTA)—Standing at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, President Lyndon B. Johnson this week.signed the new immigration bill, which, he said, "repairs a deep and painful flaw in the fabric of American justice." He said the bill "is not a revolutionary bill; it does not affect the lives of millions, yet it is still one of the most important acts of this Congress and this Administration. It corrects

a cruel and enduring wrong in the conduct of the American nation. "It will make us truer to ourselves as a country and a people." Ends National Origins Quoins The bill, the President said, states that, from this day forth "those wishing to immigrate to America shall be admitted on the basis of their skills and their close relationship to those already here. The fairness of this standard," President Johnson stressed, "is so self-evident that we may well wonder that it has not always been applied. Yet the fact is that, for over four decades, the immigration policy of the United States has been twisted and distorted by the harsh injustice of the national origins quota system." UJA Lauds haw William Rosonwald, former general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who attended the signing ceremonies at the invitation of the White House, declared in a statement: "We of the United Jewish Appeal hail the enactment of this new immigration law. It means that larger numbers of men, women and children yearning to breathe free can have their hopes realized. For this. President: Johnson and the Congress: of' tho United States deserve the commendation of the entire world."
