NEW YORK (JTA) — Associate
Supreme Court Justice Arthur J.
Goldberg called on the United
States to take the lead in interna-
tional cooperation for the protec-
tion of the rights of the individual.
He spoke at a dinner meeting
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee's Appeal for Human Relations
at the Hotel Plaza, where the 1965
Herbert H. Lehman Human - Rela-
tions Award was presented to Jo-
seph Klingenstein.
The dinner launched the AJC's
1965 Appeal for Human Relations,
a nationwide drive for a total of
$4,700,000.
Justice Goldberg specifically
urged the U. S. to champion adop-
tion of the Treaty of Human Rights
drafted by the United Nations to
implement the Declaration of
Human Rights. Two draft cove-
nants on human rights—one on
civil and political rights, the other

on economic, social, and cultural
rights—are at present before the
United Nations General Assembly,
where methods of implementation
are being discussed.
Justice Goldberg called the
recent appointment of Morris B.
Abram, president of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, as the
U.S. representative to the United
Nations Commission on . Human
Rights "a happy omen of our
country's commitment to such a
treaty."
Klingenstein served as president
of Mount Sinai Hospital from 1956
to 1962, and since that time has
been chairman of its board. A long-
time leader of the American' Jew-
ish Committee, he has endowed,
through the AJC, a chair at Colum-
bia University's department of so-
cial psychology, known as the Jo-
seph Klingenstein Chair in Inter-
group Relations.
Meanwhile, at Geneva, Zeev V.
Zeltner, relieving president of
the Israel district court at Tel
Aviv, was elected by the UN's
Human Rights Commission to
membership on the Commis-
sion's 14-member subcommission
on prevention of • discrimination
and protection of minorities.
He succeeds one of the Arab
members of the subcommission,
Mohammed Awad, of Egypt, whose
term has expired.
In the voting on Judge Zeltner's
candidacy, 14 of the Human Rights
Commission's 21 members voted for
the Israeli. The balloting was
secret but it was held quite cer-
tain that the Communist and Arab
blocs in the full commission had
cast their votes against Judge
Zeltner.
Israel also holds membership on

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — A
report in a newspaper in West
Germany alleging that Secretary-
General U Thant had proposed a
"Jordan-Israeli exchange of terri-
tory" was denied here Tuesday. A
spokesman for the United Nations
asserted that Thant had not made
such a statement and "had never
heard of it."
The report had been printed in
Der Spiegel of Hamburg, an illus-
trated weekly of large circulation.
According to Der Spiegel, Thant
had presumably said that the Jor-
dan-Israel territorial exchange
would involve • "handing over to
Jordan the Latrun area near Jeni-
salem and incorporating Mount
Scopus into Israel." The Latrun
area is a demilitarized zone under
jurisdiction of the Israeli-Jordan-
i•n UN Mixed Armistice Commis-
sion. Mount Scopus, site of the
pre-1948 Hebrew University cam-
pus and Hadassah Hospital, is an
Israeli enclave totally surrounded
by areas controlled by Jordan.
(In Jerusalem Tuesday, Israeli
officials termed the German re-
port "groundless" and said noth-
ing was known to Israel—about
such plans. The. Israeli sources
noted that in the past Israel ex-
pressed itself as ready for minor
territorial adjustments along its
Jordanian border, but no "terri-
torial exchange" had been en-
visaged.)
Last month, Jordan filed a com-
plaint with the Security Council
here charging Israel with unspeci-
fied "violations of the armistice
agreement" in the Latrun area.
Israel noted in reply at the time
that both Israel and Jordan had
been for years ploughing lands in
the Latrun area without objections
from either side.
Thant said here that the United
Nations "has to do its utmost to
create conditions conducive to the
peaceful settlement" of such dis-
putes as the Jordan River water
issue between Israel and neighbor-
ing Arab states.
Asked how he evaluated the
current situation in the Middle
East and whether he foresaw "a
possible, war danger there over the
diversion of the Jordan River
waters," he replied that the situa-
tion in the area had changed in
recent weeks and that there were
in the Middle East, as in other
parts of the world, "shifting align-
ments and shifting patterns."
He added he felt "it is a little
too early to assess whether these
shifting alignments and patterns
are for the better or for the
worse." Without referring by name
to the Jordan River dispute, he
said that "we have to be very
vigilant in that area and the
United Nations has to do its ut-
most, to create conditions condu-
cive to the • peaceful settlement ,of
outstanding disputes."

Cardinal Bea Discounts
Fears Over Declaration

ROME (JTA)—Augustin Cardinal
Bea, the prelate responsible for
the strong draft declaration on
Catholic-Jewish relations affirmed
at the third session of the Ecum-
enical Council, said that Pope
Paul's Lenten Sermon on April 4
was not intended to offend any-
one or to have any relation to the
declaration. In an interview with
the Stampa of Turin, the Cardinal
insisted there ,was no reason for
any concern over the fate of the
declaration.
