Death of Cardinal Cushing Mourned as Loss of 'Truly Righteous Person'

NEW YORK (JTA)—Jewish lead-
ers expressed sorrow over the
death Monday at age 75 of Richard
Cardinal Cushing, archbishop of
Boston since 1944 and a friend of
Israel and the Jews (See Com-
mentary, Page 2).
Philip E. Hoffman, president of
the American Jewish Committee,
said "Jewish people throughout the
world will always remember with
satisfaction Cardinal Cushing's ef-
forts to achieve an honest and
meaningful statement on the Ro-
man Catholic Church and the Jews
five years ago in Rome, at the
Second Vatican Council." Cardinal
Cushing, he said, "was at the fore-
front in this tremendously impor-
endeavor," and "The positive
