Jesuit Scholar Urges Catholics to Copy 'Jewish Interest Groups'

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) —
American Catholics ase "po-
litical pygmies," compared
to American Jews, in creat-
ing public understanding and
acceptance of Catholic posi-
tions on vital questions af-
fecting their interests, a
Jesuit scholar declared in a
commencement address to a
Catholic high school here.
The result, the 'Rev. Virgil
C. Mum of Milwaukee, told
the graduating class of Car-
dinal Dougherty high school,
was that Jews are treated in
the mass media . "with re-
spect, decency and fairness,
while much of it treats
Catholics with total disre-
spect, indecency and unfair-
ness."

the .newly formed Catholic
League for Religious and

YEAR 'ROUND

PERMANIZED

Civil Rights, cited a list of
media incidents he said de-
famed, ridiculed or showed
"insensitive treatment of
things Christians hold sa-
cred." In contrast, he said,
American Jews have orga-
nized to defend their inter-
ests so well that "It is im-
possible to imagine the press,
radio and television being
anti-Semitic, distOrting the
news about Jews, suppress-
ing and misrepresenting
facts about Jewish gather-
ings and activities."
He commended J e wish
leaders, in particular, for
knowing that "in American
democracy_ the people are
king," and_that the "political
clout" of the Jewish commu-
nity, in the legislative, judi-
cial and executive branches,
"is directly proportionate to
its ability to create public
understanding and acceptance
of their ideas, values, prin-
ciples and objectives; to
fashion popular attitudes; to
create public favorable to

their causes."
He said American Jews
have organized 25 national
interest groups, which he
said were headed by the
American Jewish Committee,
the American Jewish Con-
gress and the Anti-Defama-
tion League of Bnai Brith.
He said the three agencies

alone had "scores of re-
gional offices and budgets of
millions of dollars, while the
49,000,000 American Catho-
lics do not have a single or-
ganization with "the sole
purpose" of influencing pub-
lic policy toward their rights
as American citizens.

`Most of Congress in Support of Israel'

TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Israel
has the support of at least
three-quarters of the U.S.
Congress — "disregarding
what administration is in
power," according to Con-
gressman Bertram L. Podell
(D. Brooklyn), speaking at
the ZOA House last week.
He said that Assistant Sec-
retary of State Joseph Sisco
was right in stating. that the
Palestinian issue needed "a
definition and a solution."
However, he said, "Mr. Sisco
did not say what the defini-
tions were."
Podell said Sen. Henry

Jackson had the best chances
to become the Democratic
Party nominee for presiden-
tial election. "Henry Jackson
is solid, dependable, with
practically no charisma—just
the type people want and
need today," he said.

Jewish agencies were mem-
bers of an "anti-Catholic
group," the National Coali-
tion for Public Education and
Religious Liberty (PEARL),
its purpose, he charged, "to
deprive Catholic school chil-
dren of all federal and state
educational benefits."-
The Jesuit scholar pro-
posed, as a major contribu-
tion to the nation's Bicen-
tennial observance, that
Catholic lay persons either
join or support "Catholic
groups modeled on the highly
successful . Jewish interest
groups."

Nixon Asked to Tell

on President Nixon to de-
mand that Arab government
leaders "publicly disavow"
Palestinian terrorism as "the
real enemy of peace" in the

Four fully equipped air-conditioned ambulances were
presented to Magen David Adom, Israel's Red Cross agency,
at recent local dedication ceremonies. In the top photo,
Mrs. William Hordes presents a key to Dr. Elmer P. Ellias
as, from left, Mrs. Morris A. Yassky, Dr. John Mames and
Mrs. Ellias look on. Mrs. Hordes donated the ambulance in
memory of Israel's fallen heroes. Special thanks was ex-
tended by the MDA directors to Mr. and Mrs. Philip Slomo-
vitz for securing the gift. In the second photo, Dr. and Mrs.
Harold A. Maxmen are shown after they presented their
gift of an ambulance "in honor of the gallantry of the peo-
ple-of Israel." Dr. John Mames, chairman of the Michigan
Region MDA, is in the third photo, accepting the key to
an ambulance from Mr. and Mrs. Felix Rosenzweig on
the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. The bottom
photograph shows, from left, Dr: Mames, Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Liwazer, Irwin Holtzman and Dr. and Mrs. Harvey
Beaver. David and Irwin Holtzman contributed the ambu-
lance in memory of their parents, Helen and Joseph Holtz-
man. The Liwazers were instrumental in obtaining the gift.
All of the donors were presented with the Pikuah Nefesh
Award.

Selling Egypt nuclear technology
and atomic fuel that could and
will be used for nuclear weapons
jeopardizes Israel's existence
and is a threat to world peace.
As your congressman I would
vote against this agreement.
