Israel Decides to Ratify
Convention on Hijacking
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The cabi-
net decided that Israel will ratify
the 1963 Tokyo draft convention
on aerial crimes which obligates
the signatories to prevent and take
action against the hijacking of
commercial aircraft.
Israel will be the seventh nation
to ratify the convention which re-
quires 12 signatures in order to
become effective international law.
Israel's ratification will require
certain legislative changes which
are expected to be approved by the
Knesset (parliament) after which
the Israel government will deposit
its instrument of ratification with
the United Nations.
The anti-hijacking clause binds
the signatory nations to the speed-
iest possible release of hijacked
aircraft and their passengers and
crew landed on their territory.

Jewish Pioneers
Recalled With
Archives Creation
The announcement of the estab-
lishment of a Barry Goldwater
Research Fund at the American
Jewish Archives (JN, Sept. 6)
brings to mind the contributions of
Jews who came to the New World
seeking opportunity and willing to
assume the dangers of conquest
and pioneering.
They brought culture, commerce
and the skills of government with
them and, like many a non-Jew,
pursued prosperity at the risk and
sometimes even the cost of their
lives.
Historians agree that one of the
first Jews to settle on the North
American continent arrived with
Cortez in 1521. He was the Marrano
Hernando Alonso, ship's carpenter,
who built the bridges that the Con-
quistadores used to reach and de-
feat Azetc armies in Mexico.
Alonso's talents won him a
land grant, and he grew wealthy
raising cattle in Mexico. It was
his lot, however, to be the first
man of Jewish ancestry to die
for religious freedom in the New
World. Alonso was burned at the
stake in 1528 by the Inquisition
on the charge of Judaizing. He
perished at the stake almost a
century before the Pilgrims land-
ed on Plymouth Rock in search
of religious freedom.
Two other Spaniards of Jewish
descent governed provinces in what
is today Mexico and the American
Southwest. Both of them died in
prison on the charge of observing
Jewish customs.
As the English colonies grew in
North America, achieved inde-
pendence, and turned west with
nationhood, Jews were among the
peddlers, politicians, merchants,
soldiers, professional men and In-
dian fighters who followed the set-
ting sun toward America's "mani-
fest destiny."
Among them were the forebears
of Goldwater. The commercial and
political enterprise of the Gold-
waters, their reputation for saga-
city and honesty in the Arizona
territory, are recorded in docu-
ments already housed in the Amer-
ican Jewish Archives on the Cin-
cinnati campus of the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion.
The Barry Goldwater Research
Fund, said Dr. Jacob R. Marcus,
archives director, will help expand
knowledge of the history of pio-
neering Jews in the West.
