JOSEPH uCHTEN EXPLAINS.
What US. Jews Think
Of Upcoming Vatican Council

on one hand and the forces
of freedom and justice on the
other. /, as a Jew, am against
the totalitarian forces because
we have suffered from one
totalitarian regime and are
now suffering under the Red
totalitarianism. For this rea.
son, Jews and Christians are
in the same camp and must
work together as closely as
possible. We must strive to-
gether for the values of a
pluralistic democracy, world
social justice and the univer-
sal common good. Pope John
XXIIT's mater ct Magistra"
is very close to my heart as
a Jew.
@. WHAT THEN WOULD
YOU, a Jew, like TO see se-
compIished by the Vatican
Council?
A.. OF course, / can only
dream and hope. But if the
council addresses itself to the
Jewish question at all, |
would welcome a positive and
constructive statement sup
porting the rights of all rell-
gious and racial groups and
condemning every form of
prejudice and discrimination.
/ would like to see the coun-
Gil urge a worldwide cam
paign against prejudice Of
every kind. Surely this is an
integral element in mans as
piration for a better world.
In short, | would like to see
a great outpouring of warmth
for all men.
| would also. at the risk OF
presumption, like to say that
! am very strongly in favor
OF having Jewish observers at
the council. However, there
is a great reluctance on the
part of the rabbinical organi-
cation to send observers, for
reasons we have already seen,
@. WOULD you EXPLAIN
what you mean?
A. Let me say first that
would be happy if the organ
lied Jewish religious bodies
decided to send observers to
the council, but | don't be

about it. Nor do | think that

the American people to toler-
ate and support distortions
such as those outlined above.
Simple honesty and respect
for the truth should be ade-
quate reasons for avoiding
these errors.
But they are more than dis
honest; they are also divisive.
They sow distrust in our ma
ton at a time when national
unity is imperative. They
weaken our democracy by
spreading suspicious of trea-
son in government and asking
Americans to use Communist
tactics against fellow Amer
leans.
If carried far enough these
movements would paralyze
American diplomacy. When
every discussion with the Com
munist powers is considered
a sign of weakness or
treason. then we are left with
only two stark alternatives:
surrender or war. Surely our
common sense should tell us
that we should seek some
middle course between these
extremes.
A MATURE and strong po-
pie has the inner strength to
live with occasional frustra-
ton and failure. 1t does not
cry disloyalty every time its
will is thwarted. When hon.
est mistakes of judgment are
made, it seeks to correct them
through the democratic pro-
cess. Temper tantrums re-
sulting from Illustrations are
signs of serious immaturity.
There is much to be done
TO combat the menace of
world communism. It is time
for Americans to close ranks
and to fight the real enemy
on real battle-ground with real
weapons. If we fail in this,
we shall be so weakened in
ternally that Communist con-
quest will be inevitable.

think | should add that the
majority of rabbinical organi-
cations take a negative attl-
tude toward sending observers
and can see no reason for be-
coming involved.
@. WHAT is YOUR personal
opinion of the council and It's
activities?
A. There are several reas-
ons why / am, as a Jew and
as a member of a lay Jewish
organization, very much inter-
ested in the council. AS a
Jew, moreover, my interest is
different from that Of an Or
thodox. Anglican or Protes-
tant. II is not mainly theologi-
cal. | understand that an inn
portant religious body is 60
ing to meet to discuss inn
portant questions related to
its internal and external life.
Neither is my interest that of
an objective neutral such as,
let us say, a Buddhist. | cam
not forget that we are COM
mon sharers Of the Judaeo-
Christian heritage and are
united by our reverence for
tie Old Testament, our mutual
holy book.
| believe that the council
has as one of its detectives
the Strengthening of the life
of the Church and of the
Catholic community. In short,
1t wants to make Catholics
better. This is of tremendous
Importance to me as a Jew.
CANNOT FORGET that
il was only II years ago that
six million European Jews
were lost in a terrible holo-
caust. | don't hesitate to say
that this was done by the
so-called Christian world. Hit
Ter and Goebbels were born

good Christians, ii would not
have happened. 1t therefore

round plate usually Of the
same design as that used in
the Latin Rite each one is
accompanied with a prayer
telling what each represents.
A triangular particle is used
representing the Blessed Vir-
gin Mary. Three rows of small
cubes are placed on the pat
en- to signify angels, apostles
and saints. Another row be-
meath these represents the
living faithful, followed by a
row the dead.
Thus the whole universal
Church is represented by the
particles on the paten.
After this an asterisk or
"star" is placed on the paten
reminding us of the star of
Bethlehem which led the
three kings of the east to the
Christ Child. Wells are then
placed over the gifts to Signi-
fly the swaddling clothes with
which Jesus was wrapped in
Bethlehem. Foil wing the
placing of the wells the priest
continues with an Offertory
prayer. He completes the
Proskomedia with a glorifica-

that is the only possible APP
proach to the problem. The
Jewish rabbinate is not HER
archically structured. There
is no central body that speaks
for the entire Jewish com
munity.
For that reason, | believe
there is a place at the coun-
Gil for Jewish lay leadership,
representatives Of Jewish or
CARNATIONS devoted to inter-
group understanding and CO.
operation on the community
level. 1t is the problem of hui
man rights that Jews want to
bring to the attention of the
council and for this, Jewish
leadership can serve most eff
fectively. Jews would also
like to see eliminated from
the Catholic Church's liturgy
and t e a h i & S expressions
which are offensive to the
Jews. Pope Johns deletion of
the expression "the perfidious
Jews" from the Good Friday
liturgy made a magnificent
impression on the Jewish
community. We hope it will
continue.

NEW YORK - NC
The eyes of the entire
Christian world will turn
hopefully toward Rome
on Oct. II when the Sec
ond Vatican Council begins
its deliberations.
BUT WHAT OF the Jewish
community? What do Ameri-
can Jews think of the council
and what, if anything, do they
hope the assembled Catholic
Bishops will say to them as
Jews?
These and related questions
were put to Joseph l.. Llchten,
director Of intercultural af-
fairs for the Anti Defamation
League of B'nai Birth.
Lichten Is particularly well
situated TO assess Jewish opin-
ion on a subject which must
seem to many Jews a purely
internal Christian affair. A
former Polish diplomat sta
toned in Washington, he join
ed the Jewish civil rights or
ganization in 1945 after the
communists took control of
his native land and since then
has endeavored to create mu-
tual understanding and CO.
operation between Catholics
and Jews.

or even control as a weapon

Some Of these opponents are
basically isolationist and use
the Communist charge as a

repeated papal assertions of
our moral obligation to seek
world order, world prosperity,
and world peace.

Before proceeding it
may be well to ask this
question: "How is the Di-
vine Liturgy of st. John
Chrysostom divided?"
The answer to this is that
the action of the Divine Litur-
gy falls into three main divi-
sions-the Proskom e d a or
Rite of Preparation, the Lit
urgy of the Catechumens and
the Liturgy of the Faithful.
THE FIRST DIVISION is
essentially the presentation
of gifts TO be used for the

Eucharistic Sacrifice. It is a
preparation for the glorifica-
ton of God and its aim is to
prepare both the priest and
the gifts for the awesome
events which are to take
place during the Eucharistic
Sacrifice.
Proskomedia is a term de-
rived from the Greek word
"proskomidzo," meaning ito
bring or offer" The first
Christians we're reminded by
the words of Sacred Scrip
ture, such as Exodus 23:15, to
bring and present gifts of
bread, wine, oil, milk and
fruits as an offering to God.

Originally these gifts were
taken to a side altar by the

Campaign Heads Into Home Stretch

COP gubernatorial candidate
Frank Small, Jr. has stepped up
his campaign to unseat incum-
bent Gov. ]. Millard Tawes with
criticism of the Democratic
administration on a number of
fronts.
Among other things, Small
has accused Tawes of "crim-
inal neglect" of the states pub
lie higher educational system,
attempting to cover up pre-elec-
ton activities and political posi-
tons, deceptive claims that the
state has been in a constant
healthy condition during the
past three and one-half years"
and, again, the slot machine
issue.
Small also said he feels
Maryland's teachers should
have salary increase Ito give
them a standard of living COM
mensurate with their cultural
status in our society,"" How
ever, he said that a lack of
Sufficient facts" keeps him
from suggesting what that
raise should be.
On the education issue, Small
accused Tawes of drastically
cutting appropriations requests
for expansion of state teachers
colleges, making Tawes directly
responsible for a teacher short
age in Maryland which has
reached monumental proper
tons"
On the slot machines, Small
called on Tawes to prove his
sincerity on the issue by call
ing a special session of the
legislature to act on his plan
to abolish them"
He charged that Tawes sis
not sincere" on the issue and
took his position purely for
political reasons"
Small assailed Tawes' pre-elec-
ton activities, clubbing them,

the sole purpose of the COVER
nor's campaign is Ito tranqual-

He criticized Tawes' Flip
