Council Draft on Jews to Sit ntil 1966?
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
ROME—Publication by the Vatican press office of the
agenda for the fourth session of the Ecumenical Council,
which opens Tuesday, raised the possibility that final action
on the draft declaration on Catholic-Jewish relations may not
take place until early next year.
The agenda is divided into

tion Against Genocide was dis-
tributed in parliament. A parlia-
mentary commission drafted the
bill this summer.
The Italian anti-genocide bill
would provide severe punishment
for all forms of aggressive acts
against ethnic, racial, national and
religious groups when such acts
are clearly meant to destroy the
target group either partly or com-
pletely. Crimes listed in the bill
include enforced living conditions
likely to cause partial or total
destruction of the affected group,
deportation, impeding or restrict-
ing the fertility of the group by
sterilization, forcibly taking chil-
dren from their parents and en-
forcing the wearing of discrimina-
tory devices by persecuted groups.
The penalty for conviction of
such crimes is long prison terms
up to life imprisonment if the
victims perish as a result of the
crime. There is no capital punish-
ment in Italy.

Vatican sources said the fact
that the draft on Jews is last on
the agenda did not necessarily
mean it would be voted last, since
a timetable remains to be estab-
lished. But it was indicated that
the declaration on the Jews prob-
ably will be the final item when
the timetable is fixed.
The Vatican press office an-
nouncement was, in effect, an au-
thoritative denial of rumors and
reports that the declaration on the
Jews would not be on the agenda.
The question of the length of
the session developed when an
authoritative source said that Pope
Paul VI hoped the final session
would be finished by Christmas.
That report was viewed as raising
the possibility that the fourth ses-
sion might go into- the first weeks
or months of 1966.
The Vatican press office did not final approval and promulgation
