Editor of Catholic World at ADL Conference
NEW YORK (JTA) — "Catholic
anti Semites" were charged here
-
Monday by a Catholic priest with
often using the Crucifixion "as a
cover-up" to justify bias which is
derived from the "false ideals and
prejudices of the local community."
The charge was voiced by Father
John B. Sheerin, editor of the Cat-
holic World, the oldest national
magazine of Catholic opinion in
this country. He made the state-
ment before some 200 Catholic
and Protestant religious leaders at
a special two-day conference con-
vened to discuss the link between
Christian teachings and anti-Jew-
ish prejudiCe.

GALLANT GIVING: The Israel Education Fund established by the
United Jewish Appeal as a special body to raise extra funds for high
school education in Israel is only 18 months old. . . But during this
short period it has already raised more than $12,000,000 in gifts from
individuals without any noisy campaigning. . . The largest gift of
$2,500,000 came from Israel Rogosin, the well-known Jewish philan-
thropist. . . This sum will be spent to establish a National Nautical
School in Israel's port city, of Ashdod as well as to build two Compre-
hensive Schools—one in Acre and the other in Migdal Ha-Emek. .. A
$1,000,000 gift came from Oscar Gruss, a New York philanthropist,
who keeps himself modestly in the background of Jewish public life
because he is very shy of publicity. . . His gift will go, at his request,
for the building of an Orthodox vocational school in Israel. . . The sum
of $785,000 was given by Theodore R. Racoosin and Aaron IT. Rubin,
both long known for their activities in the United Jewish Appeal and
their generosity in supporting educational institutions in this country
and in Israel. . .. Their gift will be spent on the building of a Compre-
hensive High School in Ramie, Israel, the ground for which was
broken last week. . . Jack D. Weiler, who is known for his leadership
in the United Jewish Appeal, and who gives eagerly and generously
for many worthwhile causes, is one of a group of three who will make
possible the building of the Sharett School in Nazareth. . . Joining
with him are Morris Brecher, a warm-hearted New York philanthropist,
and Saul Furman, another New Yorker, who devotes a large part of
his fortune and time to philanthropic activities. . . Eugene Ferkauf,
head of the Korvette chain of discount department stores, gave $600,000
to establish a Comprehensive High School in Israel which will carry
his and his wife's names.
POLICE PERFECTION: The American Jewish Committee has em-
barked on a program of-helping to arrange seminaries for policemen
to train them in intergroup relations. . . This program is part of the
AJCommittee's attempt to help policemen become skilled practitioners
in human relations and to ease their task in handling explosive racial
situations, especially the Negro situation. . In the opinion of the
AJC leaders, police-community relations demand bold re-thinking ...
In New York, seminaries in intergroup training for police are be-
ing conducted with the aid of the local AJCommittee chapter . . .
In several West Coast cities, AJC helps to arrange contacts between
police departments and universities that might supply intergroup
training for police. . . Half of the force there has taken a five-week
course in handling racial incidents. . . The course has been financed
with Federal and local funds.

Shazar's Plans to Visit
Brazil Spur Preparations
RIO DE JANIERO (JTA) — A
bill calling upon the Brazilian gov-
ernment to grant honorary citizen-
ship to Israel's President Zal:nan
Shazar was introduced in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, at Brasilia.
President Shazar is • scheduled to
pay a state visit to Brazil, as the
official guest of President Castello
Branca July 18-24.
Advance arrangements for Sha-
zar's visit were launched here Sun-
day by Col. Arie Raz, military
attache to the Israeli chief of state,
who came here for that purpose.
Col. Raz said that President Shazar
will be accompanied by a party of
seven persons. The Israeli army
officer said he will go also to Ar-
gentina, Uruguay and Chile, all of
which will be on his South Ameri-
can itinerary.
Five Arab ambassadors were
criticized by the leading news-
papers here Monday for conducting
a news conference when their
spokesman attacked the Israeli
Embassy in Rio de Janeiro for al-
legedly "hoodwinking" public
opinion in this country by charg-
ing the Arab states with aggres-
sions aginst Israel.
The conference was conducted by
Mansur Shalita, local representa-
tive of the Arab League, although
the Brazlian Foreign Ministry had
advised the diplomats against at-
tacking Israel in this country. The
conference was an obvious effort
to build up anti-Israeli feelings
here, prior to President Shazar's
scheduled visit.
