Schmidt Won't Visit Israel
BONN (JTA) — Chancel-
lor Helmut Schmidt has
ruled out responding affir-
matively at this time to a
six-year-old invitation to
visit Israel.
Sources close to Schmidt
stressed that while he is
eager to visit Israel, he will
only do so if the political
situation in Israel changes.
This has been taken to
mean that he will not visit
the country while Menahem
Begin is premier.
The Israeli premier, dur-
ing his re-election cam-
paign, lashed out at
Schmidt in response to the
Bonn government's plan to
sell the highly sophisticated
Leopard II tanks and other
arms to Saudi Arabia.
Conscience, honor and
credit are all in our interest;
and without the concurr-
ence of the former, the latter
are but impositions upon
ourselves and others.

BONN (JTA) — A former
judge from Hamburg was
fined 6,000 Marks ($2,400)
by a court in Kiel for claim-
ing that there were no gas
chambers during Hitler's
regime and no Jews were
murdered by the Nazis.
The man, Wilhelm Stag-
lich, the author of a recent
pamphlet called "The Au-
schwitz Myth," made both
claims in a letter to a federal
court judge.
Meanwhile, the federal
department in Bonn which
is empowered to take action
against h6te literature has
not moved against Staglich
for his pamphlet. In addi-
tion, the department lost a
case it initiated against
Gerhard Frey, the publisher
and editor of the neo-Nazi
National Zeitung.
This publication is the
most widely circulated
neo-Nazi newspaper in
Germany and one of the
most popular weeklies.

Papal Wish Makes a Cardinal?
Editor, The Jewish News:
Rabbi Richard C. Hertz,
in his discussion of his visit
with Archbishop Jean-
Marie Lustiger, ends his ar-
ticle with an intriguing
question: "Is it possible that
there may be someday be a
Jewish Pope?"
This poses an almost end-
less series of problems. To
be a Pope, one must be
Catholic. If one is Catholic,
can one be a Jew? If one is a
Jew, how can he be
Catholic?
In any event, were the
good Archbishop to assume
the papacy, it would not be a
first. Well, it depends how
one defines the terms. In the
long ago, Anacletus II, scion
of the Pierleoni family of
Rome, was elected to the
papacy by a majority of the
cardinal priests and
deacons in 1130. The Pier-
leonis, whose tower still
stands at the edge of the
Roman ghetto, converted
from Judaism to Catholi-
cism.
Poor Anacletus II is
now listed as an anti-
Pope, since Innocent II
had the stronger backing
of the Guelph-led cardi-
nal bishops.
Unfortunately, Rabbi
Hertz has reduced Ar-
chbishop Lustiger's chances
of achieving a cardinalcy
and, perhaps, the ultimate
papacy. Merely by mention-
ing the eventuality, follow-
ing Vatican folklore, he has
diminished the possibility.
It is said that any man who
enters the conclave of car-
dinals papabile (capable of
becoming Pope) will emerge
from the conclave a cardi-
nal.
Though there is no record
of the reaction of the Roman
Jewish community to the
election of Anacletus II, I
am certain that they might
have said: "Abbiamo
ricevuto una buona for-
tuna!" (Ayn glueck hatt uns
getroffen).
