Almost every request or demand con- cerning the Christian Holy Places, and the Catholic Church in particular, receiv- ed immediate and sympa- thetic attention. There have even been certain Christian factors in the country who claim, not always with jus- tice, that Israel was evincing particular favoritism to the Catholic Church because it regarded it as the strongest body with whom some sort of dialogue could be reached, so that the foundations might be laid for some permanent arrangement, for supervision of the holy places. The Vatican had acqui- esced in the fact that Israel rules in Jerusalem and that it was beSt to come to terms with it. As proof one might cite that contacts, talks and exchange of sAi-official visits, most impoi-tant of which was Prime Minister Golda Meir's to the Pope at the Vatican. Recently, however, there has been a change of atti- tude insofar as the Vatican "State-Secretariat" (the Vat- ican Foreign Ministry) is concerned. Certain actively inimical forces have tried to bring about a change of the attitude toward the sta- tus of Jerusalem. Their ob- jective is clear: it is to try and revive the plan for the internationalization of the city. What was regarded. as obvious until some weeks ago, not only by Israel but also by the Catholic Church, is again turning into some- thing with a large -question- mark attached to it.

Phone: 549-7350 Alessandrini has come onto the scene again, and certain influential factors in the Catholic Church are seeking to reopen deliberations about the internationalization of Jerusalem with the aid of Arab, African and other - Christian factors. There is activity and string pulling even in Jerusalem and with certain Catholic states. The emperor of Abys- sinia recently paid a visit to the Vatican. With him was Jaafer Anumeri, the ruler of Sudan, and certain senior representatives of Liberia and Tanzania. It was perhaps to be expected that Emperor Hailie Selassie would raise the question o f the holy places and the status of Jer- usalem. The Coptic Church has traditional interest in the Holy City, but until the last few weeks it had no com- plaints about Israel's treat- ment of their affairs. The emperor's intentions are clear: not only to try and jump on the wagon of the Jerusalem issue, but to se- cure for himself • and his country more tangible back- ing on the part of the Catho- lic Church and of Catholic governments, and of the Christian world generally. As a result of the increasing influence of the Arab states in the African continent, the emperor is perturbed by the rising strength of the Eri- trean and Somali rebels who are supported by Egypt and the Soviet Union and is ap- prehensive of the possibility of considerable portions of Abyssinian territory being taken away from him. The Jerusalem question apparent- ly served only as a pretext for his attempt to cement closer ties with the Vatican and other Christians. Anu- meri has other reasons; he fears the strengthening So- viet influence south of Sudan. front in the western world. Least of all does it desire to face the Vatican and the Catholic Church with its Brickley Talk Set by Criterion James H. Brickley, lieuten- ant governor of Michigan, will speak on "Coping With Crisis" 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Southfield Civic Center, under the sponsorship of Cri- terion Club. Brickley, who was a special agent for the FBI at age 32, was one of the youngest men ever elect- ed to Detroit's Common Council. The public is invited. hundreds of millions of ad- herents. Its efforts in the past six years are sufficient proof of this. If, however, we remain oblivious of these tactics, it will be tantamount to an ostrich policy, because those factors in the Vatican are stepping up their activi- ties in the apparent belief that Israel's status is in- creasingly losing ground. They should be put in their place. It should be made clear to them that Israel can make retort, particularly on the anti-Semitic plane, overt and covert, a fact to \which the Vatican is Very sensitive. For example: the apolo- getic tone adopted by the Va- tican. towards the murderous activities of the terrorist or- ganizations before and after Munich, the statements ap- pearing in official Jesuit Church publications, includ- ing the last issue of "Cevi- lita -Catholica". The public denouncement of such factors in Europe and the United States might very well serve as a first step to curbing their activities because they appear to be deeply hurt when one uncovers their ',rue image and their traditional hatred for Jews and for Is- rael.
