DENNIS MICHAEL ROHAN Rohan was described by a friend- ly witness Wednesday as an "ec- centric" person who was regarded as "a little weird or crazy!? by fellow students at an ulpan where he studied Hebrew after coming to Israel last March.

Jones' testimony was apparently intended to bolster the case by Tunik that Rohan was mentally ill when he set fire to the shrine and was therefore un- punishable under Israeli law. Jones said that the description "weird or crazy" was applied to Rohan by fellow students at Ramat Hasharon. He said the Australian admitted to him that he had once been confined to a mental institu- tion. Jones described. Rohan as a person who had a "miserable. un- happy - childhood, and "all his life lie was rejected." Jones testified that Rolian told him on the evening of Aug. 21 that he had burned the mosque to make way for the rebuilding of the tem- ple because God had so ordered him. He said that Bohan claimed to have spent over S1.000 in tips and bribes to Moslem guards at the mosque so that they would let him conic and go as he pleased. Ile said he gave one guard, 18- year-old Nlunir Kazaz, about $450 for guiding him around the Temple Mount area and for his interpreta- tion of several passages from the bible. Kazaz took the stand Wed- nesday. The Church of God, to which Rohan reportedly belongs, is one of many Pentecostal sects which are basically fundamental- ist. They _believe in the literal ful- filment of biblical prophecies, par- ticularly the return of Israel to its homeland and the. rebuilding of the , Temple as a pre-condition for the coming of the Messiah. The Church of God is a small sect with only a few branches outside the U.S. Friday, October 10, 1969 - 21 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS CJFWF Assembly to Air BOSTON — Top priorities in American Jewish communal com- mitments—at home, in Israel and abroad—will make up the agenda of the 38th general assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds here Nov. 12-16. In addition, the 1,500 delegates from the Jewish communities in the United States and Canada, and several leaders of Jewish commu- nities in 4 the free world will mark the 75th anniversary of the Jewish federation movement in this coon- try. Starting with the keynote ad- dress by Louis J. Fox, of Balti- more. CJFWF president, addresses covering these and other urgent Jewish communal priorities will be given by: Robert H.

Pincus, chair- . man, Jewish Agency for Israel: CJCongress Disturbed by French Use Study TORONTO (JTA) — The Cana- dian Jewish Congress warned that the popular movement to promote wide usage of the French language in the province of Quebec must not be permitted to categorize citizens as "majority'' and "minor- ity" elements or to interfere with "the option of all parents to send their children to schools of their choice." The warning was contained in a brief submitted by the CJCongress to the Gendron Commission—the Commission of Inquiry on the Position of the French Language and on Language Rights in Que- bec. The brief said that the C.1•Con- . gress viewed "with grave concern" the stated objective of the com- mission to find the best means "to exercise the linguistic rights of the majority with full respect for the rights of the minority." According to the brief, "this statement suggests that the in- habitants of Quebec are . . . to be divided into two groups, a major- , ity and minority groups, creating a division which ought not to exist in a democratic viable so- ciety." The brief was signed by Nathan Gaisin, chairman of- the CJCon• gress' Quebec region; Morton Bessner, chairman of the lin- guistics committee; and Dr. , Samuel Lewin, eastern region executive director. Bessner head- ed a CJCongress delegation that appeared before the commis- sion. The brief asserted that "what- ever can be done to assist immi- grants upon arrival to obtain knowledge of the French language is certainly most laudable and useful. - But it took exception to proposed measures that would have settlers' children taught in schools recognized as being French language schools. The CJCongress noted that "The Jewish commun- ity, within the limitations of its resources, has for a number of years made facilities available to Jewish immigrants to learn French." There are several ways in which to apportion the family income, all of them unsatisfactory. — Robert Benchley.
