Boston Protest Draws I
Praise from State Dept.,
Soviet Embassy Denial
BOSTON (JTA)—Protests voic-
ed by the Jewish community here
against Soviet anti-Semitism were
accepted with "appreciation" by
the U.S. Department of State, and
rejected by. the Soviet Embassy in
Washington.
'The Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Metropolitan Boston had
addressed the protests to the So-
viet Embassy in Washington and
sent a copy to the White House.
A response from the USSR Em-
bassy's first secretary, Anatoli G
Myshkov, stated that "acceptance
of your letter is hereby refused."
Myshkov denied there was any
anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union,
attributed reports of such a policy
to persons who wish "to impede
and worsen relations" between the
U.S.A. and the USSR, and offered
to furnish the "true facts" about
the situation of Jewry in the
Soviet Union.
On the other hand, a letter
from Robert J. Manning, assist-
ant secretary of state, said that
the White House had turned
over the Boston Jewish commu-
nity's letter for a reply, adding:
"We appreciate 'receiving com-
ments and suggestions from the
American people on the subject
of our foreign relations."
Accompanying Manning's letter
was a State Department back-
ground paper, summarizing the
facts about the Soviet Union's
"long - term anti-religious cam-
paign" which, it stated, "has
grown in intensity over the past
several years, and all religions,
including the Jewish religion, are
being subjected to increasing re-
strictions, forms of interference
and negative social pressures."
Arabic-Speaking Prelate
Backs Vatican Statement
on Jewish Relations
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
Arabic - speaking archbishop of
Nazareth and all Galilee, on a visit
here, said he believes the Vatican
Ecumenical Council will pass a
strong statement condemning anti-
Semitism when it reconvenes in
September..
Stating that he personally fa-
vored such a statement, Greek
Catholic Archbishop George Ha-
kim voiced conviction that the
majority of the 120 Arabic-speak-
ing bishops also favor it. But the
Arab bishops, he emphasized, can-
not be expected to go along with
any statement that might give
Israel a political advantage.
The archbishop told the press
that condemnation of an ti-
Semitism was righteous, and
should not be equated with
political approval of the state
of Israel.
The position of Arabs in Israel
has much improved, especially
since 1960, when Arabs were ad-
mitted more widely into trade
unions, he said.
"On religious grounds we have
complete freedom, but on political
grounds there are some restric-
tions," such as regulations con-
cerning personal property and the
freedom to move about the coun-
try. he said.
Realizing that "Israel is here to
stay." the Arabs have relinquished
hope of regaining the land, said
the archbishop. All the Arabs want
now, he said, is justice and equal-
ity.
As leader of the Melkite Rite
Catholics in Israel, he has 33,000
followers, mainly concentrated
around Nazareth and Haifa.
