Catholic Primate Predicts Passage of Declaration

Boris Smolar's

LONDON (JTA)—The Catholic
primate of Britain, Dr. John Hee-
nan. Roman Catholic archbishop
of Westminster, expressed "confi-
dence" that the recent Ecumenical
Council's declaration on relations
with Jews, removing the ancient
charge of deicide from the Jewish
people. would be approved and
would be promulgated by Pope
Paul VI before the end of this
year.
Such promulgation would make
the views expressed in the Coun-
cil's declaration official Catholic
church doctrine.
Reviewing the "strange - adven-
ture" of the declaration in the
Ecumenical Council, Dr. Heenan
noted that Augustin Cardinal Bea.
who had drafted the document
presented to the first session of
the Council, had intended that the
church "make reparation to the
Jewish people" and break down
any anti-Semitism existing among
Catholics today.
Dr. Heenan pointed out that
"the barrage from the Middle
Eastern camp," led by Arabs,
saw the Bea draft as a political

The Immigration Issue

President Johnson's recoolinqndations to Congress on easing im-
migration--if passed by Congr'essj—open a possibility for certain cate-
gories of Jews from the Soviet Union to join their families in the
United States . . . Under the Johnson proposals parents of American
citizens and permanent residents would be admitted to this country
outside of any immigration quota while other close relatives would be
among those who would get priority visas within the quota .. . There
is quite a number of Jews in the United States whose parents and
close relatives are still living in the USSR . . . The reunion of such
families could be easily achieved if the Soviet government would
permit emigration of people who are wanted by their kinfolk in this
country . . . Recently there were cases where Moscow permitted aged
people to emigrate from the Soviet Union and join their families in
the United States . . . The Johnson proposals may also bring to the
United States an increased immigration from Israel . . . Under the
present immigration quota. only 100 Israelis can be admitted annually
to the United States as immigrants . . . At present. there are about
16,000 applications on file for immigration visas from people in Israel.

Washington Reflections

President Johnson indicated that he considers his immigration
proposals top priority Administration programs in the new Congress.
.. . Administration efforts in Congress to achieve an over-all revision
and liberalization of the existing immigration laws have so far failed
since the McCarran-Walter Immigration and Nationality Act was passed
in 1952 over President Truman's veto . . However. it is believed that
President Johnson's immigration measure has a good chance to pass
in Congress since the new Congress has a large Democratic majority.
. . . In the last Congress, opposition to a bill on relaxation of the
immigration laws, which was supported by President Kennedy, cen-
tered on provisions to eliminate the national origins quota system and
grant discretionary powers over allocation of unused immigration
quotas to the President . . . Informed sources believe that President
Johnson. who. like President Kennedy. insists on elimination of the
national origins quota — which favors primarily immigration of na-
tionals from England. Germany, Ireland — will refuse to compromise
on this request . . . The major test will come in the House Immigra-
tion Subcommittee where chairman Michael A. Feighan, a Democrat
from Ohio. stubbornly opposes elimination of the national origins
system . . During the last session of Congress. Feighan's sub-
committee held three months of hearings on immigration bills . . .
Toward the end of the session. the subcommittee rejected a motion
to report the Administration hill, but agreed to continue hearings .. .
A general state of strong disagreement exists between Feighan and
Rep. Emanuel Celler, New York Democrat. who is chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, parent body of the House Immigration
Subcommittee . . . The Senate Judiciary Committee and Immigration
Subcommittee are both headed by Senator James 0. Eastland, a
Mississippi Democrat, who is generally considered opposed to any
change in immigration policy . . .

"Ours was not a pilgrimage to
the Holy Land, he said. "We
wanted to see the modern State
of Israel. We were attracted by its
small size. The success stories of
the great nations are frequently
a consequence of their vastness.
We wanted to visit the country
which among the small nations
has a reputation of being the most
advanced."
He praised the work done by
Israeli experts in the reclamation
of the Azua region.
Israel Ambassador Beniamin
Varon paid tribute to the vice
president of the Institute, Dr. Max
Henriquez Urena, who as Domini-
can ambassador had voted for the
partition resolution in 1947, and
the Institute's president, Dr. En-1
rique Marchena, who as Domini-
can ambassador to the United
Nations, was among the very few
who did not vote in favor of the
resolution demanding that Israel 1
withdraw its troops from the Sinai
Peninsula.
