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.

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.

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 Not to be void did God create eyes turn upon him when do- the –world, but to be inhabited mestic crisis or foreign danger did He create it.
