Robert Kennedy and 26 Interfaith
Groups Urge Immigration Reforms
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
American Council of Voluntary
Agencies for Foreign Services, rep-
resenting more than 26 organiza-
tions of all faiths and nationali-
ties, strongly supported liberaliza-
tion of U.S. immigration law.
Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom,
ACVA honorary chairman, and
executive director of Catholic Re-
lief Services, told the House Ju-
diciary Subcommittee on Immi-
gration: "Events of the 12 years
leave no doubt that we must effect
major changes in our basic immi-
gration law, so that we may have
an immigration policy to support
our best national interests." He
was accompanied by James P.
Rice, United Hias Service execu-
tive director, and executives of
other member agencies.
Rep. Michael A. Feighan, Ohio
Democrat, chairman of the sub-
committee, recently introduced a
bill which maintains the national
origins quota system but makes
temporary provision for allocation
of unused quota numbers. It would
change the definition of refugee
eligibility and eliminate the Fair
Share Law, under which refugees
of all faiths are admitted to the
United States from Eastern Europe
and the Middle East.
Bishop Swanstrom told the
committee that no bill would
be acceptable to his group unless
the national origins quota sys-
tem was eliminated.
After the hearing, the ACVA
spokesman sent a telegram to Con-
gressman Feighan and the sub-
committee. repeating their opposi-
tion to the Feighan bill primarily
because it did not eliminate the
national origins quota system, and
expressing concern about the ef-
fect it would have on refugee im-
migration. They urged the sub-
committee to report favorably the
Administration bill which was
supported by the late President
Kennedy, and recently endorsed
by President Johnson.
Attorney General Robert. F. Ken-
nedy issued' a stateent strongly ad-
vocating the end of the national
origins quota system as one that
"causes our nation great harm
both here and abroad", declar-
ing that the system "should be
eradicated from our law." His
statement took the form of a letter
to the New York Times.
The system, Mr. Kennedy held,
"damages America in the eyes of
the world, deprives us of able im-
migrants whose contributions we
need, inflicts needless personal
cruelty on large numbers of Amer-
ican citizens and residents — and
it doesn't work." "The Adminis-
tration's pending immigration
bill," he affirmed, "s e e k s to
change that system and establish
a system that works in the na-
tional interest."

$4,000,000 for New
Center at Technion
NEW YORK (JTA)—The United
Nations Special Fund has made
a grant of $1,139,000 toward the
establishment of a Center of Ap-
plied Research in Israel, it was
announced by B. Summer Gruzen,
president of the American Tech-
nion Society. He reported that,

Special Fund grant, the Govern-
ment of Israel is also making avail-
able the sum of $2,666,666 in Israel
funds during the next five years,
for the construction and equip-
ment of the Center.

testing equipment, recruiting of
foreign experts, and the specialized
training of Israelis who will devote
themselves to applied research.
The 580 members of the Tech-
nion's faculty will work in close
liaison with the new Center, al-

presentatives.
The Center's initial fields of
concentration will be in chemistry,
polymers (plastics), food proces-
sing and fibers, Mr. Gruzen said.

Esquire Story Concerns Nazi Guilt and Catholicism
A short story, shocking in im-
pact, reminiscent of the contro-
versial play, "The Deputy," is
published in the current issue
of Esquire Magazine. This piece
of fiction, "The Pious Brother,"
also deals with the question of
Nazi guilt and Catholicism, but
from a different point of view.
It is about a former Nazi officer
who is now a chaste and brilliant
Jesuit priest. He remembers his
past in the course of the story,
and in an entirely absorbing series
of encounters, plunges wildly to a
strange atonement.
Jakov Lind, author of this story,
is a 37-year-old Austrian whose
first collection of stories, "Soul
of Wood," caused a considerable
stir when it was first published
in Germany two years ago.
Lind was born in Vienna in 1927,
the son of Jewish parents who,
after Hitler annexed Austria in
1938, were deported and killed.
Lind fled to Holland, and later
escaped on a Rhine barge. After
"A strict observance of the
written laws is doubtless one of
the high virtues of a good citizen,
but it is not the highest. The laws
of necessity, of self-preservation,
of saving our country when in dan-
ger, are of higher obligation."

first story to be published in
