Reveal Arms Deal
Between U. S v Israel
As We Were Saying
' WASHINGTON (JTA)—Israeli
•ources here made it clear that
the deal between the United
States and Israel under which the
American Government consented
to supply Israel with a number
of M-48 Patton tanks—revealed
recently by the State Department
—had been made prior to the re
cent escalation and intensifica
tion of the rearmament of the
Arab states.
The Israeli sources voiced their
comment after the State Depart
ment reported here that the USA
has been selling tanks to Israel.
The State Department confirm
ed the deal with Israel after A1
Ahram, an influential daily
newspaper published in Cairo,
had claimed that Israel had re
ceived 200 of the Patton tanks
from the United States. However,
the State Department did not in
dicate the number of tanks sold
to Israel.
The American consent to - the
tank deal with Israel, the Israeli
sources said, had not been given
recently, since the negotiations on
this matter had been concluded a
long time ago. The USA decided
to provide Israel with these
tanks, the sources said, after the
American Administration was
convinced that the tanks were
needed for the defense of Israel,
and were regarded as part of the
U- S. policy to maintain the sta
bility and the balance of arma
ments in the Middle East.
The State Department’s con-
jjrmation of the tank deal with
Israel was couched in similar
terms regarding the balance of
power in the Middle East. Point
ing out that it could not remain
Indifferent to the “massive” sales
of Soviet arms to the Middle East
region, the State Department de
clared: “Over the years, to meet
modernization requirements, we
have sold the Government of Is
rael various items of military
equipment to help it meet its own
defense and internal security re
quirements. These have included
Patton tanks.”
State Department officials said
they could not say specifically
that the supply of tanks to Israel
Involved an assumption that the
U. S. arrangement was a substi-

tute for a West German deal to
supply Israel with various arma
ments. But they indicated that it
was fair to draw such a conclus
ion. The West German Govern
ment canceled . an $80,000,000
arms deal with Israel in October,
1064. It was presumed here that
the USA has also taken up the
remainder of that German-Israeli

Addressing a Government lead
ership conference, Mr. Syming
ton stressed that “ancestral
amenities bind the allegiance” of
the Jewish child. He said “the
father is the law. At thirteen
years of age a boy is reminded
in solemn cermony that he is a
man. He does not have to snatch
a purSe, wield a knife or prove
his virility in other objectionable
ways.”
But the Government “cannot
offer Bar Mitzvah or Christian
Confirmation,” said Mr. Syming
ton. However, he pointed out that
the Government could work to
strengthen the environment in
which every family must live.
“It can work for proper housing
and sanitation, decent schooling,
and fire and police protection.
There is a host of services which
it is the province of Govern
ment to secure, and the right of
people to demand. What then
happens within each family, and
the home that is its castle, is a
private matter,” he said.

the 20th century, the growing
Visit to Swinging
"Kittens Korner"
Sylvia Syms is a not-so-little
warbler from the Bronx on her
first trip to Atlanta for a spell
as premier performer at the
fabled “Kitten’s Korner.”
You’re expecting maybe Anita
Eckberg,” she quipped to start
her act and immediately the au
dience was at ease and recon
ciled at the invisible padding for
which the cuddley kittens would
be fired — or for that matter
never hired in the first place.
Backstage, Sylvia recalls how
determined her folks were that
she go to college, but she was
equally adamant about a career
behind the footlights — and you
can see who won out.
We caught her first show
which was with a pinch-hitting
pianist as a tired traveler. Her
songs are bound to improve with
each performance as she feels
more at home and at ease with
the kind of audence and orches
tra she’s working with. That’s
the way it was that evening with
Ray Tico, the Latin American
guitarist who sang his out heart
out winsomely too during his
first show—but for his second
show found his pace and won a
passel of bravoes and ovations
for his combination of Segovian
playing and indigineous vocaliz
ing. Fine and worthy of the top
billing all on his own.
Sylvia currently has several
records in the million-sales level
and a series of Broadway suc
cesses, notably in “Flower Drum
Song” and South Pacific. She has
been a headliner at such night
clubs and supper clubs as Bon
Soir (NYC), Dallas Cabana, Car-
ibe Hilton, San Juan and other
such spots. Her hit numbers are
numerous.
“Top of the Korner” is a new
evolving idea at Kitten’s Korner.
It is a fun spot and its main at
traction, the swinging main room,
with the current Combo attrac
tion a hard tempoed “Strange
Bedfellows,” is an action place,
with a twisting beat we can best
describe as the inside of a kettle
drum. If this is your beat join
the go-go crowd here.
As for the Kittens, ah, they’re
another story entirely. —A.R.
Kaliane Named Chief
Rabbi of Argentina
BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — Dr.
David Kahane, an authority on
Jewish religious law and former
rabbi in Warsaw, has been named
the new Chief Rabbi of Argen
tina, it was announced here by
Zvi Fainguersch, president of the
Central Council of the Jewish
Communities in Argentina and of
the Buenos Aires Kehilla.
The author of a number of
works in the field of halachah,
Rabbi Kahane was a Polish Army
chaplain during the Nazi invasion
of that country and later served
as Chief Rabbi of the Polish
forces in the territories liberated
from the Nazis. In 1945, he was
designated as chairman of the
Vaad Hakehilot in Poland. In
1950, Rabbi Kahane immigrated
to Israel.

pains of the Roman Catholic
church In this country offer con
siderable proof that it’s a grand
old homeland after all.
The most dramatic example of
turmoil and soul-searching in the
Catholic community is the hassle
between the administration and
a section of the faculty at the
largest Catholic university in
America—St. John’s—with some
thing like 13,000 s t u d en t s
in Brooklyn and Jam a i c a .
No one would have dared predict
25 years ago that faculty, admin
istration, and friends of faculty
would be taking paid advertising
space in 1965 and 1966 to air the
St. John’s dispute. But here is a
tug of war between the yester
days of authoritarian rule and
the emerging tomorrows of ex
panding democratic practices.
Only those who live in the
world of St. Jo*hn’s are really
qualified to sort out the rights
and wrongs of the boiling dispute
at the university. But the eager
ness and determination of' scores
of otherwise calm and • rather
conservative Catholics to come
publicly to the defense of Father
Peter O’Reilly, a leader of the
St. John’s revolt, offers a sharp
index for judgment. Described in
an adverisement rallying the an
ti-administration forces as “One
of the most competent scholars
and teachers in his field of Thom-
istic Philosophy,” Father O’Reil
ly was one of more than a score
of St. John’s faculty members
who received registered letters
shortly before Christmas, notify
ing them of their dismissals. The
list of those fired included three
priests. Questions of tenure, per
sonnel practices, and pension
benefits figure in the dispute;
but obviously, the issue of aca
demic freedom is paramount. And
behind that issue looms the much
larger factor of the revolt by a
growing company of dedicated
Roman Catholics against views
and practices of the venerated
past.
That revolt is perhaps best il
lustrated by deep dissatisfaction
with the octogenarian. James
Francis Cardinal Mclntvre, spir
itual leader of 1.530.0000 Cath
olics in the Los Angeles diocese.
Not long ago. Cardinal M'Tntvre
was openly defied by a 29-vear-
old priest. Father William H.
DuBay, who appealed to Pope
Paul to oust the conservative
prelate because of his unenlight
ened approach to California’s
boiling racial difficulties. Father
DuBay was soon shuttled aside,
of course. And similar fates have
awaited Father Philip E. Berry
man, 27, of Pasadena, for speak
ing out against racial injustice,
and Father Maurice Ouelett,
whose appeals for righteous
treatment of Negroes resulted in
his expulsion from the Mobile- !
Birmingham diocese by Arch
bishop Thomas J. Toolen.
The list grows. In Milwaukee,
some 50 nuns and priests made it
clear that they were svmnathetic
with a public school boycott, res
ulting from alleged racial dis
crimination; and Auxiliary Bish
op Roman B. Atkielski cracked
down.
But American Catholics, like
many counterparts in certain
Protestant sects, and certain
fringe sections of American Ju
daism, are just 1 beginning to
choose up sides in the inevitable
showdown on such issues as
racial justice, academic freedom,
and the hunger for world peace.
When Alabama’s Governor
George Wallace stormed the
North to get political backing
some two years ago, the Catholic
magazine, “America,” observed
in sadness: “The apparent success
of Governor Wallace in predom
inantly Catholic wards of several
northern cities, when his extrem
ist positions on race are so un-
disguisedly opposed to Catholic
teaching, is another instance of
disregard based on discomfort.”
Similarly, those who follow
American extremist activities
most diligently, can offer exam
ples of right-wing frenzy in the
literature of the Cardinal Min-
dszenty Foundation and the
Christian Resistance Movement
to make a loyal John Birch So
ciety member envious.
But this is only a part of the
agony characterizing the move
ment of thousands of Roman
Catholics, into a new era of ded
ication to racial justice, interna
tional peace, and enduring human
understanding, Pope John XXIII,
in his epochal “Pacem In Ter
ris,” sounded the irres-stible call
to such progress; and despite the
entrenched battle of the St.
John’s University administration
and the nltra-conservative pace
of a Card'nal McIntyre, the chil
dren. grandchildren, and great
grandchildren of Catholic immi
grants to America are obviously
destined to add the''r share to the
ferment of true liberalism our
nation needs to endure and ad
vance.
