Testimony on Manual Released

front records or records Of
service to Communist causes.
The aggregate of Affiliations Of
the leadership, instead of be-
ing in the hundreds as the
chairman first indicated, is
now, according to our latest
count, into the thousands,
and we have yet to complete
our check, which would GER
tainly suggest, on the basis
of the authoritative sources
of this committee, that the
statement that there is in
filtration Of fellow w-travelers
in churches and educational
institutions is a complete un-
derstatement."
Representative Donald L.
Jackson. Republican of Cali
fornia, a member of the same
committee, charged that some
newspapers last Friday twist
ed the words of Cardinal
Spellman of New York into
a defense" of those who
had criticized the Air Force
manual. The cardinal, in
his statement referring to
Protestant chaplains with
whom he was associated in
wartime, said he would de
plore it if any unfair deduc-
tions from general accusa-
tions were interpreted to re-
fleet in any way on their
loyalty to our country or on
the loyalty of the general
body of ministers whom they
represent"
Representative Jackson
called Cardinal Spellman's
attention to the misinterpre-
tation Of his statement as a
defense of those who had cri-
ticiZed the Air Force Manual.
He received from Cardinal
Spellman a telegram in reply
which said:
II cannot understand how
some of the press distorted
my statement. I respect the
fact that Congress SIN a n
Walter, you and other men,
bers of your committee have
rendered outstanding serv-
ice in exposing Communist
activities.
1t is indeed on the whole
an unfortunate controversy,
and maybe the clergymen
who aired it publicly in the
first place would have been
better advised If they had
written privately to the De-
fense Department and called
attention to ambiguous para
graphs or to those which
might better have been
omitted.

New Nation Considered Far Different
From Biblical Stronghold of Jews

JERUSALEM-Israel is far
more a thoroughly practical
and nationalistic modern
state than it is a dusty
Biblical land or even a
stronghold of the Jewish
religion.
This must first be a stout
nation, so far as the Israelis
are concerned, even before
it is a symbol for the hopes
Of world Jewry. Basically
this is an experiment not
SO much in sentiment, how
ever appealing, as in state
craft.
To come here and talk to
a people of rare candor-a
people who don't mind the
most pointed questions and
don't shilly-shally-is to dis
cover that Israels real role
is widely misunderstood in
the world at large. Certainly
this is the case in the
Christian world.
This is not simply some
set-apart reservation of an
ancient and untroubled faith
as many suppose it to be. The
true prophets here are not
the prophets of the Old Tes-
lament. They are instead the
modern prophets of a demo-
cratic and secular, or nonre-
ligious, social order based in
part on British and American
experience.
1t is an order largely run
by men and women more
concerned with this world
than with the next. This cor
respondent is informed, on
excellent authority, that per-
haps IS per cent of the peo-
pie of Israel have no religion
at all in the formal sense.
This does not mean that
Israel is an antireligious
state. A majority of the Is
raelis simply feel the unwis-
dom Of mixing religion and
politics. lest such a course

AS things stand no single
party can possibly obtain a
clear parliamentary majority
in its own right-not even
the relatively powerful party
of Prime Minister Ben
Gurion. Coalitions are thus
necessary.
An undoubted majority
considers that doctrinal diff

should be private and not

great gratitude for the i'm
mense contributions made to
this country by world Jewry.
1t does not, however, wish
these contributions to be used
for interventions by world
Jewry, however well-intend-
ed, in the affairs of Israel.
The Israelis simply wish to
run Israel in their own way.
There is no lack of devotion
to world Jewry. It is simply
that Israel is first of all a
Nation and must conduct its
affairs in the only way ma
tions really can. This is,
through practical, realistic
political techniques appropri-
ate to the place where they
are being applied.
Israel doesn't want the
support of it's Allies because
this is the home of the Jews.
1t wants such support be-
cause it has earned it's way

Says Rival Is Wrong
In speeches today and yes
terday, Senator Kennedy ac-
cused his rival of failure to
tell the truth to the American
people" and of misleading
them on three matters essen
t;al to Cdr survival" with his
ssertions that this country's
conomy was never so good
that our prestige in the
world was never higher . and
that the balance of power in
the world was moving in the
direction Of freedom"
He said that events have
begun to settle" the issue Of the
truth and falsity of Mr.. Nixon's
statements. II don't think
there is any doubt Mr.. Nixon
has been proven wrong" Sen
ator Kennedy said.
In my judgment" he told

responsible citizen of this coun-
try, what we now have is not
good enough This country
is the only hope of freedom.
If we are willing to look life
in the eye, if we are not willing
to measure our needs against
our performance, then of course
we will follow the fate which
other free people have followed
in the last 1000 years when
they come face to face with
hard tests.
II want to be sure that we
meet that test by being
willing to meet our RESPONSE
bilities as citizens of this coun-

any candidate for Office who
runs in 1860 on a constant pro-
gram Of reinsurance, of pallid
promises, of vague charges and
innuendoes and personal abuse
is meeting his responsibilities

Stir Up Rally
For Johnson

Police held two men briefly
today after Nixon posters were
torn up when Senator johnson
arrived at a downtown hotel
for q Democratic rally.
A small number of home
made placards appeared on the
sidewalk of the Rice Hotel as
several hundred people waited
to greet the Democratic candi-
date for Vice President.
The furry was over by the
time Senator johnson arrived
and moved through a crowded
lobby entrance to an elevator
without incident.
The two men, one middle
aged and the other appearing
to be in his early 20s, were
detained by q motorcycle patrol
man until word came from
superiors to 'let them CO."
Causes Laughter
One Of the signs torn up
read: "LBJ. All the Way Out"
AS the younger man was pulled
out Of the crowd by the patrol
men, someone shouted: "You
are causing q riot!" Otherwise,
however. the incident was &C.
companied mostly by laughter.
After Senator johnson en-
tered the hotel. the crowd
moved on to the mezzanine
floor for a coffee rally.
Only the elevator side of the
lobby was jammed. The rest of
the lobby had few people.

in the lower Rio Grande Valley
city yesterday.

faith into a means Of influence
ing the ballot box" he said.

to vote for a man just because
he is q fellow co-religionist
But by the same token it Is
wrong to vote against a man
because he worships a just God
in a different manner" the
