Catholic Urges
Church Reforms
A Roman Catholic has registered
complaints against his own church.
In "The Scandal of Silence," pub-
lished by Random House, Ed-
ward M. Keating, editor of the
Catholic liberal magazine Ram-
parts, urges reforms in Catholic-
ism.
He charges that "the Church
has acted shamefully in the racial
situation that has plagued this
nation." He maintains: "We also
have racism within the Church in
the South."
He regrets dominance of his
church by the Irish.
He maintains that "Catholic edu-
cation is neither 'Catholic' nor
`education'," that "the Catholic
intellect is wrapped in swaddling
clothes."
He criticizes the Catholic press
and contends:
"Though we can tentatively con-
cede that Catholic communities
might once have needed their own
newspapers (sort of cousins to
local Yiddish or Chinese papers),
it is really only honest to admit
that they have long outlived what-
ever usefulness they. might once
have had. It is about time Catho-
lics grew up and out of their tight
little groups. Instead of huddling
around the old kerosene lantern,
hesitantly tracing out words of
episcopal comfort, Catholics should
blow the silly thing out and take
a long look at themselves and
American society."
He objects to diocesan papers
perpetuating "the tradition of
Catholic separateness in America."

U.S. Ground-to-Air Missiles Arrive in Israel;
Water Issue Clarification Sought in Washington
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The ground-
to-air Hawk missiles purchased by
Israel from the United States were
in place Monday at their specially
prepared Israel bases, and are
ready for use, with Israeli crews
trained for the purpose in the
United States, it was officially an-
nounced.
"The Hawks will increase the Is-
raeli army's deterrent force,"
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol de-
clared today, as he and Israel's
other topmost defense chiefs in-
spected the installations.
The Hawks arrived recently at
Haifa, brought to this country by
a vessel owned by the El Yam
Shipping Company, which had
donated its services to the gov-
ernment. On hand to watch the
unloading of the missiles—which
was done during the night—were
Mr. Eshkol, Deputy Minister of
Defense Shimon Peres, chief of
staff Yitzhak Rabin, and other
army and defense ministry of-
ficials. From the docks, the
Hawks were transported to the
previously prepared -sites.
It took four years from the time
negotiations were first started with
the U.S. government for the pur-
chase of the Hawks until their
arrival here, Mr. Peres noted. In
the interim, Israelis were being
trained in the United States for the
operation of these weapons. The
Hawks, he stated, would greatly
strengthen Israel's anti-aircraft de-
fense system.
Eshkol, after observing that Is-
rael's deterrent force has now been
strengthened, added: "It is our
aim to deter aggression, prevent
attack on Israel and, at the same
time, be prepared to repulse any
attack. These Hawks have been
integrated into our military secur-
ity line as its major deterrent
weapon against the enemy air
force." The missiles, he said, "are
not the only babies possessed by
the Israeli army. While we have
them now, we shall see to it that
other branches of the Israeli army
are also strengthened," he de-
clared.
Nasser Sends Personal
Message to Johnson;
Seeks Improved Relations
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Phillips
Talbot, Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs, will re-
turn to Washington from his Middle
East mission with a personal mes-
sage from Egyptian President Nas-
ser to President Johnson, accord-
ing to an official Egyptian report
from Cairo.
The Cairo report did not pro-
vide details on the contents of the
Nasser message. There was spe-
culation that it pertained to ideas
for improved American-Egyptian
relations and a request for $500,-
000,000 aid in surplus food. Nasser
has recently received personal
messages from President Johnson,
according to the Cairo report.
Meanwhile, State Department
spokesman Robert McCloskey said
here today the United States had
not as yet received a new aid re-
quest from Egypt. He said that
"no discussions on this subject are
currently under consideration by
this government."
In answer to questions, Mc-
Closkey also said that no final det-
ermination has been made on ship-
ment of $37,000,000 in aid author-
ized for Egypt under previous
agreements, which expire June 30.
State Department sources, how-
ever, indicated it was likely that
the aid would be provided, al-
though the reported new request
for a. massive program would de-
pend on President Johnson.
Israel Asks Washington
To Clarify Water Issue
JERSALEM (JTA)—Israel has
requested the American Adminis-
tration in Washington to clarify
reports that have quoted United
States Department officials as
warning Israel against the use of
force to prevent the Arab plans
to divert the headwaters of the
Jordan River.
The subject was discussed here
by Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign
Minister, and Ambassador Wal-
worth Barbour, U.S. envoy to Is-
rael, whom she had invited to the
Foreign Ministry.
Officials here did not hide their
displeasure at attempts to link
the water diversion issue with sup-
ply of arms to Israel and with the
Joint U.S.-Israel desalination pro-
ject, which has not yet been final-
ized. Recent negotiations with the
United States on the supply of
arms were aimed to preserve the
arms balance in the Middle East,
and involved no conditions, it was
said.
If conditions had been placed,
Israel would not have entered
such negotiations, officials in the
office of Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol indicated. They added
that, in recent Israeli talks with
Washington and London, Israel
was given no -warning about her
reaction to the Arab attempts
to divert Jordan waters. .
Officials here speculated
whether the reports from Wash-
ington emanated from author-
itiative quarters, • since they are
incompatible with the spirit and
letter of recent talks between
Israel and the United States.
ment on the waters. It was as-
sumed here that the Embassy's
statement was issued to offset the
impression created by the com-
ments by Washington officials.
In the course of the meeting be-
tween Barbour and Mrs. Meir, the
diplomats discussed a 1 s o the
Washington report that the United
States was ready to send arms to
four Arab states as well as to Is-
rael.

Food-for-Peace to JDC
Exceeded 6,300,000 Lbs.
During 1964 United States Food-
for-Peace supplies shipped to Israel
for distribution by the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee totaled 6.305,-
000 pounds and benefitted over
31,000 needy Israelis, it was an-
nounced by Moses A. Leavitt, JDC
executive vice-chairman.
The Joint Distribution Commit-
tee, through its Malben program,
has been distributing a major part
of the U. S. donated food during
the 15 years the program has been
in operation in Israel—for school
feeding programs in yeshivot and
ORT vocational training schools
and to Malben's old age homes,
hospitals and sheltered workshops.
Additional Food-for-Peace supplies
have been sent for distribution by
Hadassah.
Referring to the admonishment
attributed to Washington officials
about the possible war threat in-
herent in Israel's intention to
Arab water diversion by
force, officials here remarked that
it is the Arab plans to divert the
Jordan headwaters, and the Arab
voicing of intentions to destroy Is-
rael, that threaten the stability of
the region—not the other way
around. Even Ambassador Barbour
himself, it was reported, displayed
surprise over the reports from
Washington.
On Thursday night, the United
States Embassy issued a state-
ment, reaffirming United States
support of the Eric Johnston plan
as an effective way for distribut-
ing the Jordan River waters, and
voicing the hope that the riparian
states would reach a just arrange-
