GOLDRERG COURT APPOINTMENT LIKED BY MANY OBSERVERS
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Ap¬ pointment last week of Arthur Goldberg to the Supreme Court by President Kennedy was hailed In many quarters and appeared certain to receive Senate approv¬ al.
The President, in making the announcement at his weekly press conference, paid high tri¬ bute to Justice Frankfurter who served on the Court for 23 years. He said that during that time, "the direction of the law has been channeled by many important de¬ cisions" Justice Frankfurter ren¬ dered.
The President said that Secre¬ tary Goldberg would bring to the Court "a wealth of experience gained from the active practice of law for over 30 years. He has had an enviable record of ac¬ complishment at the bar and his character, temperament and abil¬ ity superbly qualify him for ser¬ vice on the Court. I believe his scholarly approach to the law, combined with his deep under¬ standing of our economic and political systems will make him a valuable member of the Su¬ preme  Court."
Although the Goldberg nomina¬ tion would reinforce the liberal wing of the Court, praise for Mr. Kennedy's choice came from both Democrats and Republicans.
hints of heightened antl-Semitio feelings" amonp- American Cath¬ olics. The "America" editorial asked: "When court victo'ries pro¬ duce only a harvest of fear and distrust, wiil It all have been worthwhile?"
"COMMONWEAL," the week¬ ly edited by laymen, declared that if the editors of "America" had seen signs of anti-Semitism arising from the legal struggle which led to the U.S. Supreme Court June 25 decision banning use Ln New York public schools of the New York Regents official prayer, "We find their method of combatting it very odd and the questions they address to the Jewish community even odder." If there is any real danger of anti-Semitism developing among Catholics, said the "Common¬ weal" reply, then Catholics should be "told as sharply as possible of the sin of any form of anti-Semitism." The "Com¬ monweal" editorial also said that the American system of settling public disputes by law oould be wrecked if minority groups were "made to fear" resort to the courts  to  judge   their   claims."
AT THE SAME time. New York State Commissioner of Edu¬ cation James Allen, Jr., ruled against use of any part of The Star-Spangled, Banner as a sub¬ stitute for the banned Regents Prayer. The HicksvlUe, L,I., school board decided immediately after the June 25 ruling to sub¬ stitute a little-used stanaa of the national anthem—which contains the line "In God is our Trust"^ for  the  banned  Regents  Prayer.
Mrs. Miriam Rubinstein, a mo¬ ther of two children attending a HIcksville school, submitted a protest to Commissioner Alten, declaring that her family was re¬ ceiving an adequate religious In¬ struction "in a local house of worship." The Commissioner, in banning use of the National An¬ them as a school prayer, upheld her petition. He stressed, how¬ ever, that any part of the Na¬ tional Anthem could be read, sung or recited In the schools and he ' suggested a moment of silent meditation in schools aa a guideline   to  school  boards.
NEW CRITIOISMS from Jew¬ ish sources against the "America" warning also were heard during the week. Rabbi Richard C. Hirsch, speaking for the Union of American Hebrew Congrega¬ tions-one of the organizations cited in the "America" editorial— said Catholics ought to know that In the nineteenth century It was Catholic parents and clergy who repeatedly brought suit in the courts against religious practices In the public schools. He praised the   "Commonweai"   reply.
In Detroit. Lewis Weinsteln, chairman of the National Com¬ munity Relations Advisory Coun¬ cil, declared that no threats, In¬ tentional or otherwise, should stop American Jews, or any mi¬ nority group, "from asserting its values and going to the courts for the preservation of its rights." Addressing the 68th annual na¬ tional of the Jewish War Veter¬ ans, Mr. Weinsteln said he hop¬ ed the editors of "America" did not want Jewish groups "to stop asserting their beliefs in basic principles for reasons of 'securi¬ ty'  or  as  a  'bargain   purchase.'"
