JERUSALEM (WNS) -
The two-day march through
the West Bank by some
20,000 supporters of the mili¬
tant nationalist Gush
Emunim touched off a new
wave of Arab unrest in West
Bank towns and East Je.ru-'
salem. -The Gush Emunim
march itself was peaceful,
starting in the Samarian
hills and ending in Jericho.
The route of march, which
deliberately avoided major
Arab population centers,
was'protected by cordons of
Israeli troops and was free of
incidents. After arriving in
Jericho the Gush Emunim
marchers dispersed peace¬
fully. Meanwhile, thousands
of Arabs marched from
Ramallah to the Jerusalem
suburb of Kaldania in a
silent protest against the
Gush Emunim march. In
Nablus there were disturb¬
ances for three days after
the march began and Israel
troops used tear-gas and
later rifle fire to disperse
youths pelting them with
stones. A 55-year-old Arab',
-Sayid Taher Jaba, Was fa¬
tally shot and five other
Arabs were seriously
wounded, one of them seri¬
ously. Two Israeli soldiers

NJEW YORK (JTA) - An
American rabbinical expert
oh Catholic-Jewish relations-
has renewed a long dormant
effort to obtain removal
from the Catholic Good Fri¬
day liturgy of a hymn which,
has strong anti-Jewish ele¬
ments. Called the "im-
properia," or "Re¬
proaches," the ancient hymn
is sung during the "Venera¬
tion-of the Cross." While the
term "Jews" does not ap¬
peal' in the hymn, the refer¬
ence is unmistakable. The
opening verse, as given in
English translation in a 1961
study made under American
Jewish Committee auspices,
"Anti-Jewish- Elements in
Catholic liturgy," reads: "O
My People, what have I done'
unto thee? Or in what have I
offended thee? Answer Me.
Because I led thee out of the
land of Egypt, thou has pre¬
pared a cross for thy
Savior." The second verse
-reads, according to the 1961

Jewish Elements From Good Friday Liturgy
study showed that portions
Of the text of the hymn were
efforts to take the Passover
"dayenu" of thanks and turn
. its   message  against   the
" Jews.
Tanenbaum last week sent
letters on the problem to
Bishop James Rausch, gen¬
eral secretary of the United
States Catholic Conference,
and to the Rev. John
iSheerin, associate director
of the Bishops Secretariat
for - Catholic-Jewish Rela¬
tions, He also wrote to the
Rev. Frederick McManus,
dean of the graduate school
at" Catholic University in
Washington and a specialist
in Catholic liturgy and a for¬
mer president of the Na¬
tional Catholic Liturgical
Association.- The National
Conference of Catholic
Bishops has a liturgical com¬
mission- which reportedly
has discussed modifications
or elimination of the hymn'
but has not taken official ac¬
tion on making such a
recommendation to the full"
' American -Catholic hier¬
archy. Tanenbaum told the
Jewish Telegraphic / Agency
that the A JCommittee is ask¬
ing-the Catholic officials to

agendas for attention - and
possible action. He -said

As this issue, of the Ohio
Jewish Chronicle goes to
press Sol Zell, Chairman of
the Columbus Jewish
Federation's Committee on
Aging, announced that the
U.S, Department of Housing
and Urban Development has
approved financing for the
Jewish Community Senior
Citizens Housing proposal.
. The proposal is for the con-,
struction and rent subsidies

hundred one and two bed¬
room apartments. The site

cent to Heritage House and
the Jewish Center on the
Jewish Community Complex

proval this week, -U.S. Rep¬
resentative Sam Devine

for this Section 202 HUD
funding. /'There were pro¬
posals submitted nationally
for 231,000 units under this
program. Only 8,000 units
were approved, including
Heritage House's 100 units.'
Those are odds of nearly 29
to one and to gain such ap-_
proval reflects the outstand¬
ing program of Heritage
House."    -
' Mr, Zell stated that Hous¬
ing for the Elderly, with sup¬
portive services has been a
major priority of the Com¬
munity for over five years.

AJC Rejects Charge That Its Support Of
Legal Abortion Embraces Nazi Ideology
NEW YORK (JTA) - The
American Jewish Congress
strongly rejected Apr. 21 a
charge that its support of
legalized abortion meant it
had adopted "the posture of
legal positivism, the very
ideology that enabled Hitler
to pursue hi^ genocidal pol¬
icies." Naomi Levine, execu¬
tive director of the AJCon¬
gress, said that "any com¬
parison between the right of
a woman to have an abortion"
and the Nazi slaughter of the
Jews is an obscene and out¬
rageous slur on the memory
of the six million murdered
in   the   Holocaust."   The
charge against the AJCon¬
gress was made by Dr.
Lowell A. Dunlap,' assistant
executive director -of the
Catholic League for Reli¬
gious and Civil Rights ;n a
study called "Nee-Nazism in
America?", He specifically
took issue with arguments
presented; by Leo Pfeffer,
counsel to the AJCongress,
in a brief filed by-the AJCon¬
gress. and seven other groups
before the Massachusetts
Supreme Court seeking re¬
versal of the manslaughter
conviction of Dr. Kenneth
Edeiin, who was charged
with causing the death of a
fetus.
In a statement issued by"
Mrs. Levine, she said: "Dr.
Dunlop's irresponsible state¬
ment, while singling out the
American Jewish Congress -
is in fact an attack on all the
organizations that with us
signed the friend-of-the-
court brief in the Edeiin case
