G.O.P. Platform Fails To Mention Israel
San Francisco (.JTA) -— The Republican Platform Com¬ mitte last week announced adoption of a platform including a weakened and vague version of the Middle East plank submitted by pro-Israel elements nnd, for the first time since 1944, made no reference to Israel or Jewish aspirations in the Near East. The platform, however, said; "We condemn the persecution of minorities, such as the Jews, within Communist borders.' Committee   sources   stated   that
the committee, in weakening the Israel plank, wished to avoid in¬ volvement with the Israel issue as "not appropriate for a domestic political platform."
The new Middle East plank came as a disappointment to many wit¬ nesses who had testified before the platform committee, and to liberal members of the committee itself. It was pointed out that the plat¬ form committee acted as it did because of the opposition of the Conservatives, who dominated the committee, la the civil rights and pro-Israel stand of the Eastern liberals.
On the subject of foreign aid generally, the platform said that the administration aid program would not "bolster and sustain anti-American regimes." A ques¬ tion exists as to whether this would apply to Egypt.
In the place of the specific plank on Israel submitted by liberal Re¬ publicans, llio statement emerg¬ ing fi'om the platform committee said only that "respecting the Middle East, and in addition to uur reaffirmed-pledges of 1960 con¬ cerning this area, we will so direct our economic and military assist¬ ance as to help maintain stability in this region and prevent an im balance- of  arms."
IMPRESSIVE RITES MARK REINTERMENT OF JABOTINSKY
Jerusalem, (JTA) — The remains of Vladimir Jabotinsky, brought to Israel from the United States, were laid to rest on Mount Herzl after solemn ceremonies in which many of Mr. Jahotinsky's com¬ rades joined leaders of the Israel Government in paying respect to the memory of the founder and leader of Revisionist Zionism.
As the bier bearing the Jabotin¬ sky remains was placed in Inde¬ pendence Square here, after being brought from Tel Aviv, President Zalman Shazar was first to pass by the coffin. Many thousands of Israelis lined the streets ot the city as the procession started from Independence Square toward Mount Herzl, A guard of honor surrounded the coffin. The guard included Jus¬ tice Itzhak Olshin, president of Is¬ rael's Supreme Court, who had been a sergeant in the Jewish Leg¬ ion  serving with  Jabotinsky.
Many thousands of the spectators were turned away when the cortege reached Mount Herzl, only about 2,000 being permitted lo partici¬ pate in the final rite. Acting Prime Minister Abba Eban led the official Covernmental party, followed by members of the Cabinet, Parlia¬ ment, the Supreme Court and Rabbi Aryeh Levin, known during tl\e final Mandate period as "the prisoners' rabbi." The pallbearers were leading members ot the Herut Party.
Members of Israel's defense forces presented arms as the cof¬ fin was lowered. President Sha¬ zar placed the first shovel full of soil atop the coffin. A cantor chanted the Kaddish, with the en¬ tire group of dignitaries repeating the prayer, after wiiich the Kad¬ dish was recited again, this time by Prof. Eri Jabotinsky, son of the Revisionist leader.
Prior to the reinterment, Israel's Parliament met in a special ses-
{contlnued   on   page  4)
The plank submitted by mem¬ bers of the Senate and House who support Israel had called for Ameri¬ can iniative for Arab-Israel peace, the support of Israel's water de¬ velopment program, condemnation of Egypt tor its anti-Israel hos¬ tility and acquisition of Soviet arms, and for American efforts to end Arab boycotts and blockades against Israel.
The proposed plank • also called for support of Israel and for mea¬ sures "to integrate Israel into our defense system so, that she may be strong enough to defend herself and to deter attack."
Sympathetic consideration of a plank hitting at the Soviet Union's anti-Jewish policy had been prom¬ ised earlier by Milton Marks, a California state assemblyman who had testified on the behalf ot the American Conference on Soviet Jewry. Mr. Marks, a Republican leader from San Francisco, cited wide interfaith support for the move. He said that precedents existed in previous planks con¬ demning Nazi tyranny and the op¬ pression of people generally in Eastern Europe.

FEAR GOLDWATER'S STRENGTH AIDS RADICAL RIGHTISTS
St. Louis—Albert Vorspan, newly elected chairman of the National Community Relations Advisory Council, expressed concern over continuing support for Sen. Barry Goldwater in spile of the fact that the Arizona senator has at no time modified any of the "extreme" po¬ sitions he has taken on civil rights, the United Nations, TVA and social security.
"The radical right extremism is matched by personal invective and attempts at personal intimidation alien to American traditions of fair play," the National Community Relations Advisory Chairman noted.
The consensus of opinion from NCRAC delegates at their recent convention concluded that the rac¬ ial right groups have concentrated liieir efforts on local elections, but with the emergence and poularity of Senator Goldwater they have gained encouragement to pursue national  political  offices.
Jewish community representa¬ tives fear that the success of right¬ ist groups impedes the civil rights drive because of the cooperation e.xisting between the segregationists aVid rightists,
Lewis H. Weinstein, retiring chairman of the NCRA Council, called attention to the "unholy al¬ liance" between segregationists and thu extremists of the radical right.
Weinstein expressed concern over "the danger posed by the increas ing infiltration of responsible con- .servatism by the radical right and the apparently growing impact of the wild irresponsible charges and blatant denunciations of tile right wing extremists upon some, ele ments  of  public  opinion."
He warned that there exists "another potential like that of McCartliyism, in which innuendo and unsustained accusation blank out debate  and deliberation,"
UN Receives Protest On Syrian Attacks
United Nations. N.Y. (JTA)—Israel made a formal complaint this week to the Uniled Nations Security Council against "recent armed attacks by Syrian forces upon Israel's citizens nnd civilian activities."
The complaint asserted that the attacks were "most flagrant violations of the Israel-Syrian General Armistice Agreement" and that the "deteriorating border situation" was "a serious thi eat  to  internalional  peace  and
security."
Israel's permanent representa¬ tive. Ambassador Michael Comay. .sent the letter of complaint to the .president of the Security Council. Previously he conferred with Sec¬ retary General U Thant and wilh Dr. Ralph D. Bunche, Undersecre¬ tary for Special Political Affairs. The amba.ssador asked the UN to halt furlher attacks. He did not ask for a meeting of the Security Council but only that the contents of the letter be circulated to ail council members.
The complaint said that Syria had been making sporadic attacks on the border since ending "a long period of calm" in the area on June 9. The letter listed 29 cases ot shooting attacks in the period of June 9 to July 6. Comay told the Security Council that in each case, Israel had complained to the Syri¬ an-Israel Mixed Armistice Com¬ mission. He also reported that ex¬ cept during July 2 and July 6, Is¬ rael did not return the fire. He also reported that Israel suffered Four casualties, one of the victims being in critical condition.
In Israel. Mrs. Golda Meir, the Foreign Minister, met with UN Truce Supervisory Organization of¬ ficials to convey Israel's concern over the attacks. She demanded UNTSO action lo pacify the area. She also met with Walworth Bar¬ bour, Ihe American ambassador to Israel,  on   the  issue.
The   Secretary   General   told   a
press conference al the UN that he planned to visit the Middle East before the next session of the Gen¬ eral A.ssembly in November, in¬ cluding Israel and the neighboring Arab states.
Another long-quiet sector, the Jordan Israel border, also was the scene of shooting this week. An Israel border policeman was killed and a tractor driver wounded when Jordanians opened fire, the first attack in tlie area in several years.

The World's Week
Compiled from JTA and WUP Reporfs
NEW YORK (JTA)—A state supreme court justice dis¬ missed this week two suits seeking removal of a contro¬ versial mural at the Jordan I^avilion at the World's Fair. Judge George Postel ruled against the ,suits, one brought by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the other by Rol>ert Blaikie, a Democratic party leader who filed as an individual. Both suits contended that the mural was offensive lo Jews and others.
Judge Postel held that neither the City of New York nor the World's Fair Corporation had the right to approve or disapprove the mural. Agreeing that the mural was offensive, he expressed regret that the Jordan Pavilion officials had not removed it voluntarily.
