THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Rome's Jews Voice Anger Over Vicar's Absence from Memorial
ROME (JTA) — Rome's
Jewish community is con-
cerned and resentful over
the failure of the Papal
Vicar, Cardinal Ugo Poletti,
to attend a memorial last
week for the victims of a ter-
rorist attack on the main
synagogue on Oct. 9, 1982.
The entire political com-
munity was on hand, in-
cluding the mayor, govern-
ment ministers and other
authorities to mark the first
anniversary of two year-old
Stefano tache's death and
the wounding of 40 Jewish
congregants by gunfire and
grenades.
Poletti sent a telegram
explaining that "pastoral
duties" kept him away. He
failed to send a representa-
tive or even a message. The
Jewish community views
this slight as another
example of what it perceives
to be the inadequacy of the
Vatican's efforts to seek re-
concilation between
Catholics and Jews without
re-examining basic historic

facts.
Those sentiments were
expressed by Arrigo
Levi, a well known Ita-
lian Jewish radio and
television personality,
political commentator
and columnist, writing in
the nationally read daily
La Stampa of Turin.
Levi opened his commen-
tary by quoting from the
speech delivered by Cardi-
nal Etchegaray, the Ar-
chbishop of Marseilles, to
the Bishops Synod in Rome
on Oct. 4.
"So long as Judaism re-
mains foreign to our salva-
tion, history will be sub-
jected to anti-Semitic re-
flexes," the archbishop said.
"We too have a mission of
penitence because of our
centuries-old attitude
toward the Jewish people.
We must learn to ask for-
giveness of the Lord and of
our brothers."
Levi noted that Pope John
Paul II has yet to visit
Rome's historic ghetto.
"A Polish Pope who wit-
nessed the Holocaust of
European Jewry in his in-
vaded country, a Pope who
has travelled throughout
the world but has not made
that brief step across the
Tiber to visit, in peace, his
Jewish brothers — should

with key members of
Congress and with the Is-
raelis. The Administra-
tion apparently hopes to
persuade Israel not to
oppose the plan but the
Israelis fear the force can
be used aainst them.
Speakes said he would
neither "confirm or deny"
the report. "Jordan is an
important friend of the
One of Metropolitan Detroit's
United States with which
Most Beautiful and Exciting
we have long-standing and
well known military supply
Restaurant-Lounges
and relationships," Speakes
said.
"It is in the interest of the
United States to continue
these relationships as both
countries have an interest
in regional security that is
equally well known. It
should surprise no one that
questions of regional secu-
rity are regularly discussed.
Speakes' statement was
exactly the same as State
Department spokesman
John Hughes made last
week when the report be-
came public. Strong Con-
gressional opposition to the
plan is expected, since there
have been moves in Con-
gress against any addi-
tional arms to Jordan in the
wake of King Hussein's re-
fusal to join the Mideast
peace negotiations.

he not perhaps have given
his Vicar to understand that
there was no pastoral or
consolational duty higher
than that of asking forgive-
ness of the Jews of Rome for
the past, on a day of such
bitter memories?" Levi
