Citing unofficial but apparently weUJj^formed sources, the report said that all reference to the anc¬ ient issue of Jewish jesponsibility has been deleted. The declaration was drafted under the direction ot Augustin Cardinal Bea head of the Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity.
Cardinal Bea has repeatedly de¬ clared that the inaction of the first two sessions of the EcumenicaL Council on the draft declaration was due to procedural problems and not to opposition within the Catholic hierarchy,   '
Leading American prelates, in¬ cluding Cardinal Spellman of New York and Cardinal Cushing of Bos¬ ton, have said repeatedly that the draft declaration would be approv¬ ed at the third session of the Coun- (ContlQDtfd on paga 4>

NEGROES SHOULD EMUUTE JEWS, SAYS MALCOLM X
NEW YORK, (WUP) - "The American Jews have raised their own status in this country through their piiilosophical, cultural and psychological migration to Israel,*'
Thus stated Malcolm X at a press conference following his return from a pilgrimage to Mecca and African nations.
Calling upon American Negroes to emulate the Jews, Malcolm X, hitherto looked upon as being anti- Semitic and the cause of anti-Sem¬ itism in Harlem, further stated that "the Jews have strengthened their own group consciousness and their own individual consciousness as Jews through their strong emo¬ tional attachment to the State of Israel,
"This close association with Is¬ rael," he added, "has intensified the individual Jew's personal iden¬ tification with the great Jewish his¬ torical tradition, and he knows who he is as a man.
"This knowledge of one's self has enabled the Jew to become a highly effective man in this society and ex¬ plains the psychologft^al foundations of his tremendous success."
Stating that the Jews are heirs to one of the world's greatest tra¬ ditions, Malcolm X said that "they are conscious of this tradition, proud of it, and in a sense can never feel inferior to any other people.
"This is not true of the American Negroes, who don't know their past and are therefore made to feel inferior."
Initial Israel Bond Event Sunday Night
"Israel is engaged in a constant search for, new ways of .speeding its economic development to fulfill its mission of pro¬ viding a home for large sections of the Jewish people," Samuel L. Oppenheimer stated today in asking for a large turnout at the opening affair of the 1964 Israel Bond Drive, which will be held Sunday, June 21, at the Jewish Community Center at 8:30 p.m. Joey Adams, star of stage, radio, television and rrtotlon pictures, and president of the Amer¬
ican Guild of Variety Artists, will speak at the "Night of Stars Fest¬ ival."
yhe Columbus committee is now engaged in a campaign to raise its share of the nation-wide effort to provide $85,000,000 in 1964 for expanding the economy of Israel through irrigation, the establish¬ ment of new agricultural settle¬ ments, the construction of highways and harbors, the expansion of in¬ dustrial production, and the con¬ struction of housing, schools and other public buildings.
Discussing the significance of the Columbus campaign for Israel Bonds, Mr. Oppenheimer said:
"Since the beginnings of modern Jewish settlement in Palestine, Jews throughout the world have given it their moral and financial assistance. During the past quarter of a century the btJk of that sup- poN has come from the United States and since the establislunent of the State of Israel, the Israel Bond campaign has played a role of decisive importance.
Mr. Oppenheimer reported that many hundreds of persons in Co¬ iumbus who were among the first buyers of Israel Bonds were re¬ ceiving payment on matured Bonds at the rjite of 150 cents per dollar
