JERUSALEM (JTA)- -
A sharp debate has developed over whether the positive, aspects oj^Premier-Gplda Meir's meeting with Pope Paul VI in the Vatican had not been negated by the Vatican's press'spokesman, Frederico Allessandrini, whose verbal statement immediately after the meeting denigrated its importance. Official sources here termed Mi-s. Meir's audience with
the^Pope a notable success.
The sources cited two statements by the Pontiff to Mrs. Meir which they -said were of—'cardinal importance." The Pope called their meeting a "historic occasion" and expressed thanks to the Israel government for its protection of religious rights and the holy places in Jerusalem.
The sources dismissed Allessandrini"s negative statement as an effort to ease
the extreme anxiety felt by the Arab states over Mrs. Meir's ~ audience with the Pope. They said it was far less significant than the official communique issued jointly by the Vatican Secretariate' of State and Israeli officials „which constituted the "authoritative'.' position of the Vatican. ■
But two prominent Israeli journalists writing for rival afternoon dailies described the aftermath of Mrs. Meir's
Tanenbaum says audience with Pope Paul was friendly
The start of a journey that took Prime Minister Golda Meir to Paris and an historic audience with Pope Paul.
jNEW YORK (JTA)-
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Jan. 16 that the meeting between Pope Paul Vr and Premier Golda Meir of Israel was "held in a completely friendly, warm and constructive spirit" and that the Pope himself regarded it as a historic event.
Rabbi Tanenbaum. co-secretary of the joint
Vatican - International Jewish Committee and director of - the American Jewish Committee's inter-religious affairs department, told the JTA that he obtained his information in telephone conversations with high-ranking Catholic and Israeli sources in Rome.
The rabbi said that Mrs. Meir was received at the Vatican "with the samepro-tocal and ceremonial cor-

tendency to assimilate, to begin thinking and feeling like a Canadian. Many of us on slipping back into the United States for a visit, undergo a kind of reverse cultural shock.

that he had found most Canadians sympathised with the American exiles.
"The red-neck, hard-hat symptoms are rare in Canada." he said. 'Mostly, the things Canadians don't like about the United States are the same things most of us don't seem to care for."
Jewish organizations and religious institutions in the ^.ynited States which sup-''^j^'i^ted the Vietnam war. "served to alienate many of the young men whose conscience compelled them to resist induction in the army, Zimmerman claimed.
"Jewish organizations joined in long after the rest of America had determined that the war was immoral."
The low percentage of Jews among those, who fled to Canada was attributed to the fact that Jews are concentrated in the urban centres of the east and west coasts. Both were hotbeds of draft resistence.
"The people who were compelled to come to Canada may have had relatively unsophisticated draft counselling. The Jewish kids tended to go to the big colleges in the east and to Big Ten schools at which counselling began and flourished," Zimmerman explained.

rectness that was accorded to President Nixon on his last visit to Rome." He said that when the Pope welcomed Mrs. Meir to his study he "blessed her personally and blessed the State of Israel." According to Rabbi Tanenbaum "s sources. "The Pontiff declared that he regarded the meeting between them as a historic event and Mrs. Meir responded by saying that she agreed."
Rabbi Tanenbaum said that it was clear from his information that a verbal statement by Frederico Allessandrini "was a fundamental misrepresentation and distortion of both the spirit of the meeting and of the issues and understandings that were arrived at.'
Hebron's mayor denies charge
JERUsA'LEM (JCN§)-- ^
Hebron's Mayor. Sheikh Jabari, has denied that one of his sons recenHy married a girl whose mother is a Jew. Rabbi Hanania Darai, of Jaffa, whose specialty is securing the return to Judaism of women who have married Moslems, claimed to have discovered the fact of the marriage while searching for a women who lived in the Jewish quarter of the Old City before 1948. In her youth, the woman fell in love'with an Arab trader and ran away with him to Hebron where, after their
treatment not
! marriage^; he became one of the locald'ignitariesw Eventually, ^ the man was appointed custodian of Moslem.religious property and officially responsible for organizing the pilgrimage to Mecca.
it is the daughter of this marriage, according to "Rabbi Daria, who recently married Sheikh Jabaris son. But neither woman wants to return to Judaism, he added. Sheikh Jabari stated that ail his daughters-in-law came from respected Arab farnilies. except one who was of Circassian extraction. During his investigations, Rabbi Darai also dis-: covered a Jewish man who had run off to Hebron with an Arab girl, became a Moslem and married her.:
audience at the-Vatican as a "ringing slap in Israel's face." Moshe Shamir, writing in Ma'ariv.said the most important fact of the meeting was that it was not important. "The official spokesman the Holy See rusJied to in-fortn the world immediately after the meeting that nothing has been changed in the Vat-lean's attitude toward Israel," Shamir wrote.
That oral statement, he noted, was "a well-aimed slap in the face intended to echo far and wide... It has an especially strong echo because it was given immediately after the visit. Shamir recalled that during the meeting between Theodor Herzl and Pope Pius X in Jan. 1904, the Pope said, "The Jews did not recognize our Lord, we cannot recognize the Jews." This time, Shamir wrote, "we should say, the Catholics did not recognize our State, we cannot recognize the Catholics. '
Yeshayahu Ben Porat, writing in Yediot Achronot, criticized the Israeli press for creating " a historic atmosphere" around the meeting which he asserted turned out not to be historic and was followed by a demonstration of "impoliteness that borders on a slap in the face."
At her press conference in Geneva, Mrs. Meir indicated that she considered her meeting with Pope Paul to have been a historic event. "It isn't once a week that a representative of Israel has the opportunity to meet the Pope and di.s-cuss our problems with him. I'm very happy that the audience took place," Mrs. Meir said.
•Asked if she considered a I verbal statement by a Vat-! ican spokesman playing down I the importance of her Papal audience to be a "diplomatic slap in the face," Mrs. Meir replied, "I didn't break into the Vatican. I came because the meeting had been arranged. I have no excuses to offer for my coming."

The Mercedei-Briiz 280SK 4.5
A different definition of comfort
Most expensive cars arc designed to remove the feel, of the roadfrom the driver. The Mcrccdcs-Bcnz 2H0SI-: 4.5 defines comfort in a different way.
It gives you the comfort that comes with control: Control that eases tensions that build during a long drive. The fully independent suspension holds the road without wallowing or wandering. But road-holding alone isn't enough to satisfy our concept of comfort.
The orthopcdically contoured seats arc designed for extended stays. Seat springs are tuned to virtually
^eliminate those tiny vibrations that can contribute to ' fatigue. And, of course, the steering column has its own shock absorber.
. You can only really appreciate this satisfying concept of comfort during a long test drive. We invite you to take one. And when you do, we believe you'll want to make this-ihc year you will finall)^own a Mercedes-Benz.
