Israeli Throngs Welcome Home President

JEUSALEM, (JTA) — After an
absence of 52 days, during which
he toured three countries in South
America, then visited the United
States, where he was honored by
President Johnson, Israel's Presi-
dent Zalman Shazar returned to
his home in Israel.
A 21-gun salute greeted the
President as his plane touched
down at Lydda Airport, where he
was welcomed by Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol, Acting President
Kadish Luz, Speaker of Israel's
Parliament and a full turn-out of
the foreign diplomatic corps.
In an airport statement, Mr.
Shazar noted particularly his
gratification over the reception
he received in Washington from
President Johnson.
Among those who greeted him
at the airport were Hassidim who
danced and sang.
As the presidential entourage
reached the western outskirts of
Jerusalem, about 1,000 persons
cheered Mr. Shazar. Electric lights
decorated Mount Zion and a flag-
bedecked platform had been set
up for the red carpet reception
to the returning President.
Even before Mr. Shazar's tri-
umphal return, Prime Minister
Eshkol was proclaiming to Cabinet
members the success of the Pres-
ident's tour abroad.
Eshkol cited the recent pro-
Israel debate at the United Na-
tions and the "far above usual
protocol" treatment of the Is-
rael 'President by the Johnson
administration as signs of the
understanding the world has at
present of the problems facing
Israel.
Wherever Mr. Shazar went dur-
ing his seven-week absence from
Israel, Premier Eshkol told the
Cabinet, the President was given
the warmest receptions. Mr. Sha-
zar's trip to the United States,
Eshkol noted, was planned as an
unofficial tour "but became for
all practical purposes a state visit."
Referring to the UN Security
Council, Eshkol noted in his re-
port to the Cabinet that the de-
bate of Syria's complaint against
Israel "had shown general wide-

spread understanding for Israel's
position."
The Council had adjourned the
debate on Syria's grievance
against Israel's air raid into
Syria on July 14, by refusing to
pass a resolution that would
have condemned Israel of ag-
gression.
Israel had countered by accus-
ing Syria of countenancing raids
into Israel by saboteurs organized
by El Fatah, a terrorist group.
Now, Eshkol told the Cabinet, it
has been indicated that a number
of countries are bringing pres-
sure on Syria to halt the El Fatah
attacks and to support pacification
of the Syrian-Israeli border.
Eshkol also discussed with the
Cabinet the serious economic sit-

uation currently facing Israel. He
reiterated his earlier call on the
partners in the coalition govern-
ment to back his plans for a three-
year economic program for the
country. He said he hoped he
would be ready to present that
program to the Cabinet for gen-
eral discussion next week.

Three-Faith Parley
Meets on Neo-Nazism

LONDON (JTA) — Viewing neo-
Nazism as "a deadly challenge to
Christian and Jew alike," a group
of 70 Jewish, Protestant and Catho-
lic leaders from 10 countries are
gathering at Newnhaf College of
Cambridge University for a world
consultation on steps to combat
neo-Nazism.
Sir Seymour E. Karminski, a
Jew who is a judge of the British
High Court of Justice, is chairman
of the consultation.
"The rise of neo-Nazism," a pre-
liminary statement • said, "is an
international phenomenon which
threatens parliamentary institu-
tions and race relations. The legacy
of Hitler can be seen in practically
every country. Neo-Nazism does
not indulge in open anti-Semitism,
but in the subversion of human
decency."
On the agenda of the parley will
be reviews of the attitudes towards
relationships with Jews by the
Catholic and Protestant faiths as
expressed in recent ecumenical
statements adopted, respectively,
at the Vatican Council and by the
World Council of Churches.
