Opposition to Jerusalem Internationalization
Pledged to Rabbi Goren by Greek Patriarch

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren said Sunday that during his visit to Romania he was told by Patriarch Justinian
of the Greek Orthodox Church that he opposed the internationalization of Jerusalem because Jerusalem belongs to the "Jewish nation."
Rabbi Goren was one of a number of Jewish religious and lay leaders from various countries who came to Bucharest to participate in the
celebration on July 30 of the 60th birthday of Romanian Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen.
Rabbi Goren, who returned to Israel last Friday, said the Patriarch had also told him that "whoever opens the Bible can easily find that
Jerusalem is Jewish and belongs to the Jewish nation."
Rabbi Goren said he was enthusiastically received wherever he went in Romania and that he also was cordially received by Romanian
Religious Affairs Minister Dimitriu Doganu and other Romanian leaders. He said he was the only one of all the invited Jewish representatives
from more than half a dozen countries, both East and West, who was allowed to address all of the Jewish communities in Romania. He attended
a meeting ip Bucharest of Jewish community representatives from Yugoslavia, Hungary and Romania.
Itzhak Koren, chairman of the Israeli-Romanian Friendship League, who also participated in the Bucharest festivities, said on his return
to Israel that the celebration turned into a demonstration of the existence of 68 Jewish communities in Romania and into a demonstration of sup-

Jarring's Role Is Challenged,
Israeli Attitudes Are Divided

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Foreign Minister Abba Eban
told the cabinet at its regular weekly session Sunday that
United Nations peace emissary Gunnar V. Jarring did not
offer any new ideas to Israel at a meeting last Friday
with Israel Ambassador Yosef Tekoah at the UN. Eban
also briefed the cabinet on the meeting last Thursday be-
tween Itzhak Rabin, Israel's ambassador to the United
States, and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco.
However, the cabinet secretary refused to give any details
of the Rabin-Sisco meeting.
The widely-bruited foreign policy clash between Eban
and Rabin was taken up briefly at the cabinet meeting
when Tourism Minister Moshe Kol asked about it. Kol
implied that the publicity was harmful. Minister-Without-
Portfolio Israel Galili, confidant to Premier Golda Meir,
intervened to say the matter was being handled by Mrs.
Meir and Eban and that therefore there was no point in
the cabinet discussing it.
Gen. Rabin had cabled Eban a suggestion that Israel
withdraw from the Jarring talks, which the Swedish envoy
sought to resume last Friday at UN Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim's request. Rabin also proposed that Israel
reduce its UN representation. Both proposals found their
way into the press. Eban last week told newsmen Rabin's
ideas had not found a single supporter in the cabinet but
another minister, believe! to be Gala said Rabin's sug•
gestions had not been brought up before the cabinet.
Rabin said he was "shocked" that his messages to
Eban had been released, particularly, he said, since the
released reports were not accurate. What he had sug-
gested, he declared, was that Israel's foreign ministry
"learn the lessons" from reverses at the Security Coun-
cil. He suggested that Israel refuse to return to the Jar-
ring talks until Dr. Jarring agreed to try to bring the two
sides together in direct negotiations.
Rabin said in the television interview that both Israel
and the United States felt the best chance for Middle East
peace lay in an interim agreement for reopening of the
Suez Canal. He said Israel should try to "close the option"
on an overall settlement based on Security Council Reso-
lution 242, Dr. Jarring's efforts and the UN.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Louis Stokes (D., Ohio), one of the 13 black members of the

didate for the U.S. Senate in a primary election in George. (Stoner finished 5th in Tuesday's Primary.)

Jewish Ranks Sharply Divided on Presidential
Candidates; Both Parties Draw Notable Support

Sharp divisions were in evidence this week in Jewish ranks over endorsements of candidates
for President of the two major political parties. Claims were made of increasing support for Pres-
ident Nixon. In his replay to Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s "How McGovern Will Win (NY Times Maga-
zine Section, July 28), Kevin Phillips, in "How Nixon Will Win," in the Aug. 6 NY Times Magazine
Section, claimed that 1,000.000 Jews who voted for Hubert Humphrey in 1968 will support the
President this year. Meanwhile, Jewish youth groups were being organized to support Senator George
McGovern and prominent Jews were announced as enrollees in the McGovern ranks. Formation of
"Jewish committees was condemned by heads of two national organizations. JTA reports summarize
the latest developments in political spheres.
