Israel Ponders A Mediation Appeal
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Israel officials, faced with a new re¬ sistance by Argentina against considering: the seizure of Nazi mur¬ derer Adolf Eichmann o closed cose, were considering on appeal to the major Western Powers to mediate the deadlock, it was reported authoritatively here.
That posslbllty was coming under consldsratlon, it was indicated, because of the apparent Argentine refusal to accept Israel's apology for the sedzure of the Nazi mur¬
der specialist on Argentine soil- and the Insistence of the South American country on an offer by Israel of "adequate repara¬ tions." Argentine has not stated puiblicly what action it would consider as meeting that request.
THE SOURCES reported that the Idea of asking Western med¬ iation was one of two contemplat¬ ed lines of possible further diplo¬ matic action, both aimed at reach¬ ing an amicable solution of the Impasse.
If Argentina accepted Israel's latest note, re-stating Israel's ear¬ lier position that It considered Its apology to Argentina as constitut¬ ing such reparatlOTus, Israel plan¬ ned an additional conciliatory gesture — possibly dispatching Mrs. CJolda Meir, the Foreign Minister, on a goodwill mission to Buenos Aires.
THE POSSTOLE appeal for Western raediatlon, sihould Ar¬ gentina remain ol)durate, derived from the fact that Western dele¬ gates at the Security Council meeting which heard Argentina's complaint against Israel tn the EJiohmOnn seizure, indicated clearly that their Governments regarded Israel's public apologies as "adequate reparation" to Ar- tConllnaed   on   peqe   4]

Israel Police Chief Leaves For Europe
TEL. AVTV, (JTA)—P o 11 c e commaitder Abraham Selinger, who Is head of the special police bureau assembling data for the trial of Adolf Eichmann, left for Europe to obtain more docu¬ mentary material on the Nazi killer's role in the extermina¬ tion of European Jewry. Jo¬ seph Nahmias, police inspector general, said Selinger would visit several countries but he did not specify which countries.
Tho Israeli press expressed cautious optimism over the possibility that President Fron¬ dizi of Argentina wiii change his adamant position with re¬ gard to the Eichmann case when he returns from his pres¬ ent European trip back to Bucoios Aires. It is assumed here tliat in his talks with Western European statesmen, Frondizi had an opportunity also to dis¬ cuss the Eichmann affair and probably heard the view that it would be best to settle the Israel.Argentine dispute amica¬ bly at the earliest possdbie time.

Sees Violations Of Religious Freedoms
STE, AGATHE DES MONTS, Que., (JTA) — Rabbi Charles Weinberg, newly elected president of the Kabbinical Council of America, and spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Israel, Maiden, iVtass., declared In hla acceptance address that "sectarian and credal bodies are making unfair and unjust demands in many of our govern¬ mental and public institutions. In violation of the fundamental American idea of separation of church and state." "Religion  and   the  state  must
remain divorced from each other and If they are to serve the com¬ munity with maximum effective, ness, ethical justice and a mini¬ mum of tension," he stated.
"THB EFFORTS to inject re¬ ligious beliefs in our public schools, the retention of the harsh and discriminatory Sunday law Inhibitions, the introduction of re. ligious considerationa In determ- Ing fitness for public office, and the utilization of zoning statutes to restrict the entry of houses of worship in many areas, are some of the danger signs which call for ameilioratlon and reform In our thinking about religion In communal aotivlties."
"It is a national travesty and blemish to judge a political can¬ didate by his color, religion or natiocnol origin," the rabbinical leader continued. "According to the American criteria of fair play, freedom and constitutional llbei> ty, an Individual Is to be evaluat¬ ed by his Inner qualltlea, person, al merits and eaoperiraental char¬ acteristic. It is of imperative im¬ portance tiiat the 1928 debacle be prevented tuuj that candidates not be defeated oji' narrowly sectar¬ ian, bigoted and foolishly non¬ sensical grounds."
RABBI WBINBBBO appealed to the presidential aspirants and can4idates of both major parties to "commit themselves fully and unequivocally, in a public state¬ ment, to the preservation of Is¬ rael's sovereign integrity, terri¬ torial Inviolability, and the main¬ tenance   of  the  existing  border
areas. It is urgent for the world peace that the Democratic and Republican Party platforms in- (Contlnufld   on   page  4]

TO APPEAR
NEW YORK, (WUP) — Athen¬ eum Press plans to release on July 22 on American edition of Rifchard H, S. Grossman's book, "A Nation Reborn." Grossman was one of two BriUish M.P.'s who had served on the Anglo-Ameri¬ can Commission of Inquiry Into the Palestine problem in 1945. In his book, he tells the story of Israel's  rebirth.
at Quantieo, Va. The formula contains the phrase "under honor, able conditions" l>ut it Is not an honorable discharge. Gen. Shoup acted under a regulation permit¬ ting discharge of enlisted persons "for reasons of unstiltablllty."
THE ACTION apparently was prompted by widespread protests after Rockwell had boasted re¬ peatedly that he had "recruited" a Mardno for Ws anti-Semitic group. Patsalas had been arrested by the Shore Patrol but had been released after questioning.
The Marine Cbrps subsequently said Patsalas had done nothing Illegal and that the American Nazi party was not on the U.S. Attorney General's list of sub¬ versive organizations, although the Justice Department, after filing of formal complaints by Individuals and organizations, did start an investigation of Rockwell and his group.
THE QUESTION of Rockwell's soundness of mind was raised by OlEirk King, Assistant Corpora¬ tion Counsel for the District of Columbia, who asked Municipal Judgo B. Nellson to order a sani¬ ty hearing for tbe neo-Nazi.
Rockwell appeared in court with all of his "storm troopers" on charges of disorderly conduct growing out of a wild melee wliich developed at a Rockwell rally the previous Sunday. Six memljers of the audience of the rally appeared on the same charg¬ es. Rockwell, who entered the courtroom with intentions of act¬ ing as his own defense attorney, changed his mind after King said he believed Rockwell was of un¬ sound mind and that he could produce prima facie evidenqe that RockweU might not be competent to stand trial.
BOCKWELL, obviously shaken, accepted a court offer of legal aid. Judge Nellson named O. B. Parker, a Washington attorney, as counsel.
Rockwell told the court that if
Rockwell Televised, Heckled At Meeting
. WASHINGTON, (JTA) — George Rockwell, self-styled loader of the American Nazi party, held his weekly rally again at tho new location pro¬ vided for bim by the District of Columbia authorities. He was shielded by 26 uniformed troopers, some of whom car¬ ried knives in. their belts. A similar number ot his followers were scattered through the audience of about 200, many of whom were Jews.
Rockwell was heckled by many of the spectators and ended the meeting 20 minutes after it began. His appearance was tolevlspd by a private firm which caters to independent and ABC affiliated stations, Rockwell announced thait his rallies would be going on re¬ gardless of what would happen and that it ho were prevented from speaking, someone else would take his place.
any hearing was to bo held on hla sanity, ho wanted to be observed by an alienist of his own choosing and asked for a continuance. Judge Neiison gave him three weeks. ITie corporation counsel then asked for bond to guarantee Rockwell's appearance and Judge Neiison ordered Rockwell to post a bond of $300 which Rockwell finally did after difficulty in find¬ ing a bonding company ready to give him bond.
THE NAZI group was in civil¬ ian groups but wearing swastikas. Some of them were still bruised from the previous Sunday clash. The hearings were adjourned un¬ til July 27 for Rockwell and his followers and until Sept. 3 for tho other defendants.

KHRU PROMISES . .
More Arms For The Arabs
BY GUSTAVE HEBZOti JTA STAFF OOBRESPONDENT
VIENNA (JTA)—NlklU S. Khrushchev said here that the Soviet Union will continue to send arms to the Arab countries, and par¬ ticularly, tho United Arab Republic, because some Western countries are continuing to rearm Israel.
He told a press conference before concluding his state visit to this country that the Arab States needed arms to protect their "posi¬ tive neutrality" In view of the "aggressive intentions" of the Western Powers.
THE SOVIET leader asserted that he had proposed to the West¬ ern Powers to stop all arms ship¬ ments to the Middle Blast but, he claimed, the West only wanted to block Soviet shipments without halting their own arms shipments to Israel.
The Soviet Union, he argued, thus was compelled to give sup¬ port to countries in the Near Bast in order to preserve the balance of power.
Make Your UJFC Pledge And Pay It Now
THE SOVIET dicUtor became sarcastic when asked by a corre¬ spondent what Isroel could do to improve relations with Mos¬ cow. He snapped back that he could not advise Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion since he be¬ lieved that Ben-Gurion neither sought his advice nor would bo pleased by that advice If it were given   him.
He made no reference to re¬ peated attempts by Premier Ben- Gurion to visit Moscow and meet with him.
KHRUSHCHEV was Infuriated by another question dealing with the status of the Jews within the Soviet Unlcoi. When he was asked if he would permit Russian Jews
n if
to leave the Soviet Union to be reunited with family membera In other countries, he angrily re¬ plied lhat the Soviet Foreign^. Ministry had not received a single application from a Russian Jew for an emigration permit.
On the other hand, he asserted, it was receiving many applica¬ tions from Israel asking permis¬ sion to immigrate Into the Soviet Union.
IN ANY CASE, he said, "re¬ uniting families" was a vague ex. pression which did not mean any. thing.
The Austrian Jewish communi¬ ty previously had been advised not to show any signs of friend¬ liness or sympathy with Khrusih- chev durini: his visit tn Austria.
The Austrian Jewish monthly publication, Neue Welt, reminded Its readerj In an edltori^ that the Jews In countriea beihlnd the Iron Curtain were stUl restricted in the obaervamje of their reli¬ gion. It noted that the Jews of the world would >>e. grateful,'to th© Soviet Unipw If it would per¬ mit th« Je(wa to emigrate from that country.
