President Johnson gave special recognition to Israel as an emerging nation when he received that young country's third president at the White House last Tuesday.
Although the visit was considered to be an Informal one, it proved to be very significant, with Mr. Johnson according great personal attention to President Zalman Shazar.
WHEN THX: ISBAIiU President airived at the South Lawn of the White House, President Johnson was there to meet him. The'two Presidents very heartily tshbbk hands and greeted each ¦ other with 'Shalom, Shalom.' Warmly looking at President Johnson, Mr. Shazar said. "I ap¬ preciate this opportunity to talk with you," President Johnson quipped: "Since our last meeting there are many more wrinkles on my face." (There only previ¬ ous encounter had been oh a solemn day — the funeral ot John F. Kennedy.)
MB. JOHNSON then invited Mr. Shazar to join him in a walk to his White House office. On the way. President Johnson identified the Truman Balcony nearby and also the Washington Monument, which is visible from the South hawn. They paused along the way in the Rose Gar¬ den and chatted briefly.
The two Presidents then spent about 40 minutes in Mr. John¬ son's office conversing on mat¬ ters of mutual interest. When they concluded their conference President Johnson brought his eminent visitor to the West L.ob- by and introduced him to re¬ porters.

President   Shazar,   an   erudite
' scholar and prominent educator,
told me: 'I had a long and won¬ derful   conversation  with  your
President and I have the feeling
that Mr. Johnson enjoyed our
meeting." PRESIDENT SHAZAR added
that he considered his talks with
Mr. Johnson to be one of the
most  significant  events  which,
occured during his three year
tenure in office, (he was elected
on May 21, 1963). He declared
that if the only thing he had
done in his three years was to
conversfe at this ttaie with Presi¬ dent Johnson, then that alone
would have constituted an his¬ toric event. That same evening. President
and Mrs.  Shazar were  driven
in  a   limousine to   the   White
House, Fifty Marines Uned the
driveway to the Mansion. Both
President and Mrs. Johnson were

Civil Rights Act Supported
The American Jewish Commit¬ tee Monday released its state¬ ment tiled with the House Un- American Activities Committee urging its support of those sec¬ tions of the Civil Rights Act of 1966 designed to eradicate Ku- Klux-Klan type of activity.
At the same time Morris B. Abram, president of the pioneer human relations agency, com¬ mented on the two Identical bills (HR15678 and HR 15789) intro¬ duced by HUAC members. Rep. Edwta E. WUlis (D.La.), chair¬ man, and Charles L. Weltner (D.Ga.), entitled the "Organiza¬ tional Conspiracies Act ot 1966."
"DESPITE THE good taten- tlons of the framers of these biUs," Abram, also a co-chairman of the recent White House Con¬ ference on CivU Rights, said: "the American Jewish Commit¬ tee hopes that this Committee will reconunend the proposed Civil Rights Act of 1966 as an adequate and effective means of dealtag with the type of overt l>ehavlor which these bUls seek to reach. Even if these bills were tightened so as to conform to minimal constitutional stand¬ ards, there would remata other, harmful defects: to wit, empha¬ sis on assoclational ties; maktag a crime of teacliing and advo¬ cacy; widespread use of the in¬ junction and attendant civil con¬ tempt procedures ta place of the criminal process.
"For these reasons, the Amer¬ ican Jewish Committee recom¬ mends as a sound alternative to curb civil rights crimes, the pro¬ posed CIWl Rights Act of 1966 and the proposed Civil Rights Protection Act," Abram stated.
FCBTHERMOBE, Abram said, "Experience has demonstrated abundantly that the most effec¬ tive and constitutionally permis¬ sible way of proscribtag particu> lar forms of behavior by an ta¬ dividual or tadividuals deemed harmful to society Is to reach those overt; 'acts undertaken In pursuance of assoclational atans —without regard to the fact of association, 'per se.'" „
