Declaration on the Relations of
Catholics to Non-Christian Re-
ligions.” The part of the new
document dealing with non-
Jews, he said “is being put into
a w ide framework,” but the sec-
tion dealing with the Jews “ap-
pears to be much stronger than
even the first draft.”
It seemed, however, that, due
to the final rush of many docu-
me nts facing the Council before
its scheduled November 21 ad-
journment, there will be time
only for the type of vote on the
new declaration whereby the
fathers would “approve with
reservations.” That would mean
that final approval and conse-
quent promulgation of the docu-
ment may not be achieved by
November 21, and would be
held over for the fourth session
of the Council. The fourth ses-
sion will probably not be con-
vened until 1966.

A veteran Jewish Congress-
man, 76-year-old Emanuel Cel-
ler, New York Democrat, will
become Dean of the House of
Representatives when the 89th
Congress opens in January.
Rep. Celler, chairman of the
important House Judiciary
Committee, was originally elect-
ed to Congress on November ■,
1922. He has been re-elected to
every succeeding Congress by
his Brooklyn constituents. He
now has achieved seniority and
is to be accorded the honorary
and respected status of “Dean
of the House.”
A long-time advocate of fair
immigration laws, Rep. Celler
was leading opponent of the
discriminatory McCarran-Wal-
ter Act. The immigration sub-
committee of this judiciary com-
mittee is a source of concern.
The subcommittee is under the
chairmanship of Rep. Michael
Feighan, Ohio Democrat, who
does not share Rep. Celler s
liberal philosophy on immigra-
tion.
President Johnson may push

Moses A Leavitt, executive "differences," he meant lew
if the American Jewish com-
munity is to survive during this
era to broad change, the ( oun

Welfare Funds was advised.
The challenge was voiced in
the keynote address of the open-
ing luncheon of the ( IFWF s
General Assembly by Hyman
Safran, president of the De
troit Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion.

quota system early next session.
The Administration sought un
successfully to advance such a
bill last session. But the stum-
bling block was the opposition
of Rep. Feighan. A showdown
between Rep. Celler and Rep.
Feighan appears inevitable.
Rep. Celler is one of 18 mem-
bers of the Jewish faith who
will serve in Congress during
the coming session. This total
is believed to represent a record
for Jewish participation. All
are Democrats except Sen. Ja-
cob K. Javits and Rep. Seymour
Halpern, both New York Re-
publicans.
Rep. Halpern has represent-
ed Queens County in Congress
since 1958. He acted as a gad
fly under both Republican and
Democratic administrations, ad-
vocating liberal causes in an
effective and aggressive man-
ner. He was re-elected this y ear
despite the endorsement of his
Democratic opponent by Presi-

Jerusalem, Nov. 15. (JIA)
-While Israel’s Cabinet was in
session here today, receiving
detailed reports about the week
end’s attacks by Syria and Is
rael’s air reply to those attacks,
funeral services were held for
some of Israel’s casualties,
wihle the severely bombed Is-
raeli settlements in the North
were already beginning to re-
build their shattered kibbutzim.
Friday’s heavy fighting of
more than two-and-a-half hours,
which ended only after the Is-
raeli jets smashed some of the
Svrian gun posts and tanks,
was continued in the air yester-
day. Four Syrian MIG 21
planes had gone up over Is
rael’s northern border near
Lake Tiberias. Israeli Mirage
jets drove them away, and one
Svrian MIG-21 was reported
Detailed reports on changes said: “ lhe
used four different types of
planes — Voutours, My steres,
Supermy steres and Mirages.
The three Israeli dead were
George Lazar, whose family
had come here from Hungary
during the exodus of many
Hungarians following the 1956
revolt in that country; Yrhuda
Pofat, whose origin was Persia;
and Major Louis Bronstein,
whose mother and sister still
live in England. Lazar was the
fourth—member of his family
killed; three children of the
Lazar family had bern murder

Rome,(JTA)— A retitled and
thoroughly revised version of
the long-pending Catholic
Church statement on relations
with the Jewish people, making
the statement regarding the
Jews “even stronger!” than the
one proposed to the Ecumenical
Council in 1962, was being pre-
pared for distribution to the
2,400 prelates at the Council.
That disclosure was made at
the United States bishops' press
panel by a member of the
Secretariat for Christian U nity
which, under Augustin Cardi-
nal Bea, presented the first,
strong version of such a draft
at the first session of the Coun-
cil in December 1961, unequi-
vocally absolving the Jewish
people of all time—now and in
the time of Jesus—of the crime
of deicide.

pert said, is now entitled “A

Chairman Williams Tells
Of Active Campaign To
Meet 1965 Jewish Needs
“The organization of the
United Jewish Campaign is
now complete and we are be-
ginning to move ahead. M. S
Williams, general chairman of
the 1965 drive here today in
his first report to the communi
tv. “Nearly 1000 men and
Women — almost one out of
every five Jewish families —
have volnteered to help us
reach our goal. There is real
enthusiasm, and the initial
response, in advance of the for-
mal opening of the Campaign
in January, has been most en-
couraging,” he said.
Tile United Jewish Cam-
paign has set a goal of $602.
885 on behalf of Jewish philan-
thropy in Houston, elsewhere
in the United States, and over-
seas. More than a quarter of
the goal is earmarked for local
Jew ish services.
“However, our emphasis is
not upon the six hundred thou-
sand plus dollars we are trying
to raise, but what the money
is to be spent for,” Mr. W il-
laims stated, “we must invest
in the future of the Jewish
community of Houston, and we
must continue the rescue and

many years ago, and still very
