Bilby MakeS Interesting Proposal
For Solution of Jerusalem Problem
Kenneth W. Bilby takes Israel
to task, gently, on several points,
in his interesting book, "New
Star in the Near East" (Double-
day). He urges re-admission of
refugee Arabs by the Jewish
state. He criticizes the frequent
rifts between Israel and the UN
on numerous issues, including
that of the internationalization
of Jerusalem. Admitting that
the proposed internationaliza-
tion plan is unworkable, he of-
fers an interesting proposal to
establish special status for the
holy places by means of an en-
clave within Jerusalem, thus:
"The great shrines of the
three faiths are, fortunately, -
within a fairly compact area.
Within the Old City, in a one-
mile radius, are the Holy Sepul-
chre, the Dome of the Rock, and
the Wailing Wall. Just outside
the Old City wall on Mount
Zion, across from the Armenian
qqarter, are the h allow e d
Church of Dormitian and the
Cenacle, the. site of Christ's Last
Supper.
"Place this area under United
Nations control, guarantee the
right of free access to pilgrims
of the three faiths, exempt it
from all governmental regula-
tions. In effect, give the United
Nations extraterritorial rights
and seal. the bargain through
individual treaties between the
UN and Israel, the UN and Jor-
lao- dan. Both- states would assured-
ly acquiesce in such a proposal.
There is ample precedent; the
UN arrangement with the Unit-
ed States in respect to its head-
quarters in New York City af-
fords a quick illustration.
Tel Aviv City- Council
OK's Fiscal Year Budget
-
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The mu-
nicipal council here approved
a budget Of $21,280,000 for the
current fiscal year. The -vote
was five to four. The budget
provides for the expenditure of
$5,600,000 — the largest single
item—for education.
Opponents of the budget, who
represent the labor elements in
the council. criticized the pres-
ent system of taxation. Mayor
Israel* Rokach retorted by stat-
ing that his party, the General
Zionists, "repeatedly but vainly
complained against the present
taxation system in •the parlia-.
ment."
Meanwhile, it. was announced
that the Government has lent
the Tel Aviv municipality 360,-
000 pounds ($1.000,000) to build
a modern maternity hospital
near the present government
seat here.
The town of Holon was raised
to the status of a ,inunicipality,
it was officially announced.
Elections for the first city coun-
cil will be held on Nov. 14. The
town, located southeast of Tel
Aviv, has a population of 18.000.
"With this plan in effect, a
logical corollary would be bila-
teral treaties between the Vati-
can and Israel. and .Jordan, coy-.
eying the entire question_ • of
Christian rights in Palestine.
The supranational rights af-
forded in Jerusalem might be
negotiated for parts of Nazar-
eth, in Israeli territory, and
Bethlehem, under Jordan rule.
The historical Lateran pact
could provide legal experts of
the Vatican, Israel and Jordan
With the basis for negotiating
a church accord. If good will
is present on all sides •the legal
status of Christianity in Moslem
and Jewish states can be fixed
in a frictionless pattern.
"Then Jordan and Israel, with
church and UN sanction. 'can
proceed with the business of
building two cities within a city.
The two cultures will never fuse,
but a faint possibility exists
that, as the years unroll, ° one
city will so completely dominate
the other through economic de-
velopment and Population
growth that a process of absorp-
tion can unite Jerusalem under
one government. If history does
shape this pattern the odds are
enormously in favor of Israel."

The New York board of Rab-
bis, which represents 450 Orth-
odox, .ConservatiVe and Reform
rabbis in the State of New York,
on the eve of the High Holidays,
made public its opposition to
the conducting of High Holiday
services under auspices other
than recognized rabbinical and
synagogual authority.
In communities where "over-
flow services" become necessary
for reasons of increased Jewish
population, or because of inade-
quate seating facilities, the reg ,
ular congregations of the com-
munity should make every effort
to survey the needs of the com-
munity at large and engage ad-
ditional seating space, the state-
ment said. Whatever additional
services are provided should be
under the supervision. of the
synagogues, and, wherever pos-
sible, the services of an ordained
rabbi should be made available.

The men in the group are

The men, who are mostly
silversmiths, expressed eagerness
to begin working again, com-
plaining of the 30-day period of
enforced idleness which they
spent in the Aden' camp. They
proudly displaced scrolls and
jewelry which they had made
themselves.

JOHANNES B U R G, (JTA) —
Chief Rabbi M. RabinowitZ and
the Bishop of Johannesburg •
joined in calling for close co-
operation between Judaism and
Christianity in a fight for moral
rearmament.
In an address before the Bnai
Brith lodge here, the Bishop de-
clared that Judaism and Chris-
tianity are alike in their affirm-
ative attitudes toward the moral
foundations of Western culture
and, notwithstanding the dif-
ferences in religious approach,
the two religions could --and
must cooperate in achieving the
return to supremacy of moral
values in our society.
The Bishop spoke of religion
as a major influence in shap-
ing Western culture, and traced
the Hebrew and Christian con-
tributions to it. In his talk,
Rabbi Rabinowitz endorsed the
Bishop's call for cooperation.
