WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Dr.
Joachim Prinz, president of the
American Jewish Congress, called
for "prompt action" by the United
States Senate early in the next
session of Congress to ratify the
international genocide conven-
tion.
Speaking at a conference of
Washington leaders of the or-
ganization, Prinz noted that the
United States has not acted on
ratification since the treaty was
unanimously adopted in the Unit-
ed Nations General Assembly in
1948. He said that United States
support was "necessary to give
strength and significance to the
convention as a symbol and a
pledge that mass murder of the
kind perpetrated by the Nazi
regime will never again be per-
mitted by the international com-
munity.
"Our country's failure thus far
to associate itself with the inter-
national community in ratifying
the Convention--in contrast with
the U.S.S.R., which did sign it—
has exposed the United States to
Communist allegations of insin-
cerity, has embarrassed our
friends abroad who look to us for.

leadership in this area and has
reduced the treaty's force as a
guarantee of international action
against the crime of genocide,"
he said.
He hailed the action of Cath-
olic and Protestant church lead-
ers in seeking to eliminate the
religious basis of anti-Semitism.
"The recognition by Christian
leaders that Christian tradition
has its own share of responsibil-
ity for anti-Semitism and that the
horrors of Nazism as recited in
the trial of Eichmann are the
culmination of anti-Jewish preju-
dice, is a turning point in the
relationship between the Chris-
tian world and the Jewish peo-
ple," he declared.
Prinz listed three actions by
Catholic leaders in the U.S. and
abroad which he said were the
beginnings of a "profound re-
appraisal of Christian teachings
in. terms of removing the nega-
tive stereotype of the Jew." They
were:
1. Elimination of the phrase
"perfidious Jew" from the Cath-
olic liturgy of Good Friday, by
decree of Pope John XXIII.
Prinz said this action, which took
place in 1958, marked a new ap-
proach in revising offending por-
tions of Catholic liturgy.
2. The covering last week—on
orders of the Vatican—of medi-
eval anti-Jewish descriptions of
pictures of a "ritual murder" in
the Catholic church at Deggen-
dorf, Germany, to which thou-
sands of Catholics make pilgrim-
ages annually.
Prinz noted that the Catholic
diocese in nearby Regensburg
had-also confiscated a book pub-
lished by a Benedittine father in
1960 in which the alleged 14th
century ritual murder was pre-
sented as fact.
3. The statement adopted last
month by the National Confer-
ence for Interracial Justice call-
ing on Catholics "to work for
the complete removal of anti-
Semitic prejudice where it exists
in ourselves and our nation."
- Prinz said the position adopted
by the Catholic lay group was
"particularly significant" in its
recognition that there is a rela-
tionship between polite anti-
Semitism and the horrors of
Nazism.
