Arad Dedicated
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Al-
though there are only 200 lep-
rosy cases in Israel, the work
done by Hadassah and Israel's
Health Ministry here on behalf
of those patients has resulted
in "wide repercussions" in Asia
and Africa, where that dread
disease is a grave problem,
Mary Switzer, American direc-
tor of the Federal Office of
Rehabilitation at Washington,
declared here.
The American official is here
to attend the second confer-
ence of the Israel Rehabilita-
tion Council. She is the first
woman recipient of the coveted
Albert Lasker Award for inter-
national work in rehabilitation
of disabled persons, an honor
given to her two years ago.
Plans for the development
of the new town of Arad, west
of the Dead Sea, are discussed
by Mrs. Jan Peerce, national
chairman of the Israel Bond

French Cardinal Urges Friendship for Christians, Jews
PARIS, (JTA) — One of
France's leading Catholic pre-
lates urged that Christians
cleanse themselves of anti-
Semitism and work for "the im-
portant concept of Jewish-Chris-
tian friendship."
The appeal was made by Car-
dinal Gerlier, Archbishop of
Lyons, in an introduction writ-
ten for a book by a priest, Jean
Toulat, dealing with the Jewish
problem. "The Ecumenical spir-
it and not less the Biblical re-
vival must engage all Christians
to revise the position of Israel's
sins and lead them to discover
in Judaism the roots from
which all Christian cults stem,"
the Cardinal asserted.
Cardinal Gerlier, who was one
of the leaders of the "liberal"
movement in the first phase of
the Ecumenical Council in
Rome, recalled Paul's belief
that a day would come when
Israel and the Church would
form "a single nation before
God." He added that such "per-
spectives" have been "crushed
by centuries of anti-Semitism."
Declaring that "it is not cer-
tain that all traces of anti-
Semitism have disappeared"
even in some who call them-
selves disciples of Christianity,
he called for Jewish-Christian
understanding and urged all
Christians to further this "sin-
cerely and wholeheartedly."
Jewish sources read the
statement with satisfaction.
Some observers suggested that
coming just after the Cardinal's
return from Rome, his state-
ment might foreshadow a major
move in support of his stand
on Jewish-Christian relations.

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
throttling of Jewish cultural
life in the Soviet Union is lead-
ing to anti-Semitic outbreaks in
that country and the scapegoat-
ing of Jews for "economic
crimes," Label A. Katz, presi-
dent of Bnai Brith told the
119th annual meeting of the
organization's board of gover-
nors.
Katz charged that the USSR's
policy of isolating its Jewish
citizens "from their past, their
traditions, while severing their
every link with world Jewry,"
not only threatens the cultural
extinction of almost 3,000,000
Soviet Jews, but weakens their
physical security as well. "When
Jewish culture is defamed," he
said, "the Jew stands condemn-
ed before the masses, and all
