the unprecedented arrangement
was made with the agreement
of Israeli authorities. It was be-
lieved that the Jordanian
drivers were used on the Is-
raeli trip because the cars were
scheduled to return to Jordan
and the Arabs feared that
bombs timed to explode after
the return might be planted in
the cars unless Arab drivers
were in control of the vehicles.
Chief Rabbi Nissim rejected
a Papal invitation to join Eu-
gene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean
of the Sacred College of Cardi-
nals, in tribute to the millions
of Jews murdered during the
Nazi era. While the Pope was
touring the Galilee Sunday,
he sent a message to Israeli
authorities saying he had asked
Cardinal Tisserant to visit the
Chamber of the Martrys on
Mount Zion and that the Pope
hoped the Chief Rabbi would
attend.
When the Cardinal was told
Rabbi Nissim had declined the
invitation, he went on with the
papal group to two Christian
Holy Places in Jerusalem but
later, he returned to the Cham-
ber of the Martyrs and lighted
six candles, one for each million
Jewish men, women and chil-
dren murdered by the Nazis.
This gesture was favorably
commented on in Israel both
publicly and privately.
Johnson Appoints David
Rabinovitz Federal Judge
Milwakee, (JTA) — David
Rabinovitz of Sheboygan,
named a Federal judge by Pres-
ident Johnson, took his oath of
office just 12 minutes before
the 88th Congress reconvened
this week to avoid a possible
negative action by Congress on
the controversial appointment.
The Wisconsin State Bar and
the American Bar Association
both have opposed the nomina-
tion.
The controversy over the
Jewish jurist began last Sep-
tember when the late President
Kennedy named him to a vacan-
cy on the Federal District court
for Westren Wisconsin. The
appointment having been made
while Congress was in session,
Mr. Rabinovitz could not take
the post without Senate con-
firmation. The appointment
ceased to be effective when
Congress ended its session in
December without Senate ac-
because the faith of Israel was
justified in demanding equal
status with every Christian
church. Discussing the Pontiff’s
defense of the late Pope Pius,
Haaretz said “his is the opin-
ion of one who is no more than
mortal and historical research
will not be halted because of
this.”
The newspaper Hatzofe,
Orthodox daily, asked whether
Pope Pius did indeed do all
that such a religious leader
should have done, even to the
point of endangering his posi-
tion. The organ of the Reli-
gious Party added that the
Jewish people would not jump
to over-optimistic conclusions
in connection with the Pope’s
visit. It said there were two
practical tests of the ultimate
meaning of the visit. One was
that the Catholic Church should
actively fight anti-Semitism in
Catholic countries and the other
that it should recognize Israel.
Lamerhav, organ of Achdut
Avodah, labor group, noted
that the Pope had said in both
Hebrew and English “Shalom”
several times during his visit
and called this “a clear strong
voice of grace and wisdom
which for the moment spoke
louder than the voices of enmity
which have been sounding a-
round us for years.” It added
that the very meeting of the
Pope with Israeli officials was
a de facto recognition of the
existence of Israel.
It w as revealed here that 16
Jordanian Arabs were drivers
of automobiles in the Papal con-
voy throughout its 12-hour trip
on Israel soil. A high ranking
Catholic prelate said here that

Jerusalem, (JTA)—The mes-
sage of thanks sent by Pope
Paid VI to President Shazar of
Israel after Pope’s unprecedent-
ed pilgrimage was addressed to
the President at Tel Aviv, a
clear reminder that the Vatican
had not dropped its support
for a 1948 United Nations res-
olution calling for the interna-
tionalization of Jerusalem.
The Pope expressed appreci-
ation for the facilities he had
been given and for the welcome
he received from the various
Israeli officials he met. Prime
Minister Eshkol declared in a
statement that the people of Is-
rael had been “deeply impress-
ed by the lofty personality of
the Pope and by his emphsis on
the need for peace, reconcilia-
tion and friendship.”
'Fhe Israeli press agreed that
the visit was an event of great
importance for Israel but they
questioned the Pope’s defense
of the late Pope Pius XII who
has been accused of failing to
speak out against the Nazi
genocide of European Jewry.
Haaretz, the independent dai-
Iv newspaper, said that the visit
confronted Israel with three
tests: organizational, political
and historical, and that the
first was passed “with flying
colors.” Politically speaking,
the daily added, the very fact
of the visit to a country which
the Vatican does not recognize
was an achievement of great
importance.
Commenting on the refusal
of Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Nissim
to attend the welcoming cere-
monies for the Pontiff, Haaretz
indicated it was possible that
the Chief Rabbi acted wisely

cities across the nation have en
acted statutes in some measure
prohibiting discrimination in
housing. Among the cities are
New York, Philadelphia, Los
Angeles, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh.
'Ilie history of similar legis
lation elsewhere indicates that
a court test could delay effec
tive enforcement of the new dis
trict ordinance. In Toledo the
Fair Housing Law enacted in
1961 is still hung up in the
courts. However, in a recent
New York case, where a Jew
ish person was rejected from
occupancy of a cooperative a
partment, the ordinance was
upheld, and the individual won
his case against the apartment
ow ners.
It is cases of the latter type
which lead Mr. Franck to feel
that not only Jews, but all mi
noritv members in the nation s
capital can be optimistic about
the enforcement of the district s
new regulation against dis
crimination in housing.
It is especially significant
that January 20, the effectine
date of the regulation, is the
anniversary of the inauguration
of the late President Kennedy,
a true champion of rights for
all minorities.
