THI SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Off The Record
By NATHAN ZIPRIN
lA*vi Kshkol . . .
The coming to our shores last
week of Premier Levi Bshkol of Is
rael as official guest of President
Johnson is obviously another step in
the Washington-Jerusalem effort to
maintain the balance in an area of
the world that is of vital concern
to the entire world.
Under these circumstances it is
rather baffling why the State De
partment has chosen the proximity
of the meeting as the occasion for
declassifying a document whose mal
igning of Israel’s first President, Dr.
Chaim Wedzmann, is not only wholly
inexcusable but in bad taste to boot,

since the pundits in the State De
partment should have known that
Dr. Weizmann had openly disposed
of the so-called "bribe” offer to
King Ibn Sand in his autobiography,
publushed in 1950.
However, whatever the motivation
in the timing of the release of the
document, it is a certainty that the
guest from Israel will find warmth
in the White House, the home and
hearth of the American people.
'Ihe Premier will sense it even
before he nears the threshold of the
White House.
The pundits in recent weeks have
had a picnic predicting what the
two men will be talking about. It is
this comer’s guess they will be
talking about man’s most elusive
hope—peace.

Lt happened during New York’s
most hellish hour—the rush hour.
I was waiting for a train and as
the car before me flung its doors
open I detected a vacant seat. For
getting years and avofdupois I
dashed for it with an alacrity and
numbleness of foot I never suspect
ed possessing. More than half of
the twin-seat was taken up by a
middle aged man who was engross
ed reading a Yiddish newspaper.
Behaving as if I were an interloper,
he refused to give ground. I was
equally persistent, since the struggle
for a seat in the subway finds its
counterpart only in the general
struggle for survival. In the end we
resolved the conflict by silent agree
ment.
But no sooner had we made peace

than tension of another kind arose
to plague us. Forgetting good man
ners and propriety I stealthily kept
on glancing at my neighbor’s paper.
This seemed to irk him. Suddenly he
folded the paper and looked at me
with frightened ferociousness. The
least I expected was a bitter tirade
if not an exchange of blows. To my
utter surprise he rose calmly and
spoke gently. All he wanted to
know was why “you people
ASPCA, Rabbis
Agree on New
Shechitah Way
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A new meth
od for preparing and handling ani
mals for slaughter, so that shack
ling dnd hoisting are eliminated
but the needs of kashruth are not
violated, was announced here this
week by the American Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
According to ASPCA president
William Rockefeller, the society
"worked out its solution of a world
wide problem with complete re
spect for the 4,000-year-old Jewish
ritual of shechitah, kosher slaugh
ter.”
In a statement by Rabbi Israel
Klavan, executive vice president of
the Rabbinical Council of America,
the announcement was hailed as “a
dramatic breakthrough” and an
“unprecedented contribution” as
well as a “considerable economic
saving for the meat industry.”
Both Mr. Rockefeller and Rabbi
Klavan pointed out that the ASPCA
has been working with leading rab
binical figures for more than a
year, through the Joint Advisory
Committee of the Synagogue Coun
cil of America and the National
Community Relations Advisory
Council. The Synagogue Council
embraces the lay and rabbinical
organizations of the Orthodox, Con
servative and Reform branches of
American Judaism. The NCRAC is
the coordinating body for six na
tional and 72 local Jewish communi
ty relations organizations.
Among prominent leaders of the
Jewish community who joined Rab
bi Klavan in hailing the ASPCA
announcement were Rabbi Pink has
Teitz, of the presidium of the
Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the
United States and Canada; and
Rabbi Bernard J. Bamberger and
Mortimer Brenner, co-chairmen of
the Joint Advisory Commitee.
A letter from the co-chairmen to
the ASPCA declared; “We are
proud to have had a part in what
the ASPCA has done.” One of the
patents for the new method was
given to the ASPCA by the Joint
Committee, Mr. Rockefeller said.
The patents will be made available
without cost or royalty to the meat
industry.
pay no attention to a Greek,
Italian or Russian reading a Greek,
Italian or Russian newspaper, but
when you see a Jew reading a Jew
ish paper you look down upon him
with suspicion, condescension and
hate.”
The anti-climax baffled me until I
realized that the man suspected me
of being a non-Jew mockingly eye
ing a Jewish newspaper. But he too
seemed baffled. He evidently ex
pected the next move to come from
me and he could not fathom my si
lence. When I finally and mercifully
told him that I was not only a Jew
but also a Jewish writer, his face
turned alternately white and red.
Seemingly embarrassed, he left the
train at the next station. As we
