ROME (JTA)—An exact definition of what the func¬ tions will be of the special Vatican Secretariat for non- Christians, the formation of which was announced by Pope Paul VI, is expected to be given by Paolo Cardinal Marella, who was named by the Pope to head the new secretariat.
Thus far there was no indication that the planned state¬ ment by the Ecumenical Council, declaring that the Jewish people should not be blamed for the crucifixion of Jesus, will be dealt with by the new secretariat, which will parallel the Secretariat for Christian Unity of which Cardinal Bea is the head. How^ever, it is considered likely that the new body will collaborate with Cardinal Bea's secretariat, which is now handling the Jewish question.
LONDON (JTA)—Two centrally located Moscow book¬ stalls have been selling black market reproductions of anti- Semitic materials, it was reported authoritatively from Moscow this week. The disclosure was made in an evening nqwspaper in the Soviet capital, Vechernyaya Moskva.
Another Moscow dispatch reported that a Jew, Josif L. Klempert, had been condemned to death after being con¬ victed by the Russian Supreme Court of alleged embezzle¬ ment of government property. Klempert and two brothers, Pavel and Boris, both physicians, has been reported ar¬ rested in the Russian press last January on embezzlement charges. However, the results of the trial of the Klempert brothers had not been reported in the Soviet press.
NEJW YORK (JTA)—More than 2,000 Protestant and Catholic clergymen have joined Jewish religious leaders in signing a "Letter of Conscience," urging Soviet authori¬ ties to alleviate current repressive measures against Soviet Jews, it was announced here by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'ritti. The letter will be forwarded to State De¬ partment and United Nations officials for delivery to the Soviet government.
NEW YORK (JTA)—A Moscow store, operated by the Soviet government, recently sold to a Western tourist a snaredrum which used a portion of a Torah parchment as one of its skins, thus desecrating the Holy Scroll, the New York Herald Tribune reported.
The newspaper, reproducing a pbotogi-aph of the drum- skin, showed that the bottom of the drum had stretched a piece of Torah parchment inscribed with 35 verses from Chapters 17 and 18 of Genesis. The drum had t>een bought for 50 rubles (about $55) from Moscow store No. 32, a store where Soviet residents leave personal articles for sale by the government outlet.
NEW YORK (JTA)—The head of the John Birch So-, ciety has asserted that he will not allow his organization "to be a haven" for persons engaged in anti-Semitic activi¬ ties. "We are not anti-Jewish and by the very nature of things we cannot be made anti-Jewish," Mr. Robert Welch stated in a letter to the Anti-Defamation League.
JERUSAIjBM (JTA)—Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign ¦ Minister, called in Soviet Ambassador Mihail Bodrov pre¬ sumably for clarifications of the statements affecting Israel made by Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Cairo. Israel is particularly interested in the Soviet leader's declaration of support for the Arab opposition to Israel's national water carrier project. ..
The Soviet Premier referred to Israel's "diversion" of Jordan River water for the project, and it was assumed Mrs. Meir would stress to the Soviet envoy that Israel will use only the amount of water Eillotted to it under th^ plan de¬ veloped by the late Eric Johnston as a special envoy of then President Eisenhower.

Anti-Israel Policy Arouses U.S. Senate
Copyright,  1964,  .Tcwish Telegraphic  Agency,  Inc.)
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Soviet Premier Khrushchev's free¬ wheeling tour of Egypt, during which he lined the Soviet Union solidly behind Nasser's anti-Israel leadership, touched off a sharp debate this week in the Senate for revision of the State Department's support of President Nasser of Egypt.
The debate was launched by Sen. Ernest Gruening, Alaska Democrat, who urged President Johnson to call a meeting at ttie highest political level of the Arab countries  "to reason  togeth¬
er" to end the threats of war by the Arabs against Israel.
Noting Khrushchev's statement of support for the Arabs in Cairo, Sen. Gruening said that if such efforts to bring the Arabs and Is¬ rael for talks failed, then the United States should bring before the Unit¬ ed Nations Nasser's aggressions in Yemen, his war preparations against Israel and his dealings against the British in Aden. He said that effort should be made to halt Nasser's collision course and that if the Soviets vetoed such action, "at least the United States will have tried to act."
He criticized the giving of hun¬ dreds of millions of American aid dollars to Egypt which, he said, enabled Nasser to develop missiles to use to destroy Israel and to wage agressive war in Yemen. He said the Uruted States should make it unmistakably clear "that the United States will not tolerate Egy¬ ptian destruction of Israel and that United States power stands ready as a deterrent to Egypt's air force."
Senator Jacob Javits, Republican of New York, raised the question
whether it would not be useful, at this time fbr the United 'States Britain and France to reiterate their 1950 Tripartite Declaration, guaranteeing the nations in the Middle East against any attempt to change their boundaries by force.
Senator Philip Hart, Michigan Democrat, expressed the hope that the suggestions and the warnings of Senator Gruening "will be read with equal attention" not only by the State Department but by the entire people of the United Stated!' "Israel is a sanctuary of freedom which must be preserved, not for some sentimental reasons but for our own good. We must Insure not only its survival but its success," Sen. Hart said.
Senator Thomas Dodd, Connect¬ icut Democrat, declared, "Appease¬ ment of Nasser would pay off in essentially the same way as did the appeasement of Hitler. My own view is that the official silence of the State Department and of our representatives at the United Nat¬ ions on the subject of Nasser's aggression and threat of aggression is something which defies under- itanding."
