The' following statement^ was released in Ne^: York 'this mombig by Rabbi Dr. Joachim Prinz, Chaurman of tbh Governing Council of the World Jewish Congress:
"The statement released by Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, Maryland, is the result of deliberations of 29 Bishops 'Which took place in Itome recently. The importance of the statement is emidiasiz^ by the fact that 23 of the- Bishops voted in favor of it, none opposed it, and only six were in favor of a mo^ed text. It is most gratifying tb see such alarge^majori^ of Catholic Bishops in favor of a declaration which is a courageous and niuch desired Implementation of the re^utlon of Vatican II. It augurs well for a|i even closer cooperation betweeit- Jews and Catholics, and we welcome this openiiig of a
n^ gate for creative:^:, mediately after'delivery, are «dstenceof the two rellgipniikl^nbw squealing l)ecause the which have common origiiu ^^^Agnew fence banged down and common goals."
Dr.»Prinz has played.;a leading role in efforts :ti> create closer cooperation between Jews and Catholics, and was a member pf a World Jewish Congress delegation which met with Pope Paul in Rome in January 1969 to - discuss relations between the Vatican and the Jewish people.

Israel Soys US Policy Hurts Peoce Prospects
JERUSALEM (WNS) - The (^overnlnent of Israel, in an official statement, has declared that the United State's policy position on the Mideast^s enunciated by Secretary of State miliam p. Rogers will."seriously mar the prospects for peace" in the area. (In the U.S., spokesmen for a number or Jewish organizaQons>have also criticized Mr. Rogers' remarks as indicating that Washington was in effect bar-- tering away Isra^'s pbsition prior to any peace talks. A numbier of (Congressmen have also questioned whether the Nixon Administration is moving closer to the stand of the Arabs and Uie SovietiUnion at the expense of Israel.)
The Israeli statement,   ¦ ¦
Israel
¦m:
believed drafted by Foreign Minister Abba Eban shorQy before he left Jerusalem for a visit to the U.S., declared that "negotiations for peace must be free from prior conditions and external influences and pressures." It went on to note that peace efforts will be "seriously marred if states outside theri region continue to raise territorial proposals and suggestions on subjects that cannot promote peace and security." "^
Israel again d^ared in the statement its^strongiy- held view that the Mideast crisis can be ended only through a. ,_i!^irectly negotiated  peace
Israeli officials r Mr. Rogers has asserted t "states outside the region cannot fbc>peace tenns'':and.' thai peace "can be established only by agreement among the parties concerned," but that he then went on to "ad¬ vocate" what he called "new formulas" which include specific terms for a final settiement such as asserting "there should be roles for lioth brael and.

Re|ects UN Demand
UNITED NATIONS (WNS)-Israel has com¬ pletely rejected United Nations Security'Council demands that it rescind all measures changing the status of Jerusalem enacted, since the Six-Day War and has, at the same time, condemned the UN's failure; to prevent Jordjan^ '^destrueQoiiaRd sacrilege" hi ttie 01d^€S& during Uie 19 years/Of Arab,rule.
iretary I XGeneral U discl^^ed Israel's sport' to the He. had foi'informiitibn on itJMitimpIiaiice with the UN resolution three times before receiving an answer from Foreign Minister Abba Eban.
Mr. Eban reminded Mr. Thant that Jerusalem's division was due to Jordan's "illicit armed action" in 1948 in defiance of Security Council ceasefire appeals. During Amman's Ad¬ ministration, Jews and Israeli Arabs were not allowed to worship in the Old City and Jordan forces carried out extensive destruction in Uie Old CTity's Jewisti quarters and desecrated the Jewish lelery on the Mount of Olives and other religious institutions.
This record was con¬ trasted by Mr. Eban with Israel's policy allowing all persons to freely worship in the united city and Jerusalem's efforts to have the various religious groups administer their own Holy places. He i\oted that 7,000 Arab residents voted in the recent municipal election and thereby demonstrated "t^eir positive interest in the day-to-day administration of the united city."
Commenting on the UN's action, Mr. Eban said "it would be incpngruous for a body which did'nothing to prevent Jerusalem's violent -divisibn to work now against its peaceful union or tp censure measures taken to ensure the livelihood of all its inhabitants and to maintain public law and order despite occasional terrorist attack upon the civil population, prganized, directed and financed by Uie very Jor¬ danian authorities which showed such callous disregard for Jerusalem's peace and sanctity, oii niany occasions during the. past 20 years." v
