Hearings
American Jews (with- the exception of the American Council for Judaism) are almost jubilant that the two hearings at which the Jew-ish Agency'American Section was subjected to dose scru-tiny by Senator W. J. Ful-bright. Chairman of the Senate Committee On Foreign Relations, has not produced any evidence that the organisation violated the Foreign Agoits Registration Act.
However this jubilation is tinged with a certain amount of unease, because the hearings brou^t out the tact tbat funds administered by the Jewish Agents-American Section and by the Jewish Agency, Inc. have not been spent entirely in accordance with the cam-

paign slogans by means of which they were raised.
Rabbi Kelman
A conunittee of the Rab-bhiical Assembly of America, representing over 800] Latin Conservative rabbis, is now ' engaged in a careful study of the 213-page transcript of May 23, 1963 "private hear ing" recentiy published by the American Government Printing Office.
According to Rabbi Wolfe Kelnen, Executive Vice President of the Rabbinical Assembly, this report and one of the "public hearing" (now printing) "are a vivid and saddening description of how home of the present international Jewish organisations operate — how they use the funds, -n large part of which are raised by our congregations, to establish organisations and subsidise activities which do not necessarily merit the highest priority and where contributors of these funds are not informed candidly in advance how some of these funds will be used." Rabbi Kelman also voiced his dissatisfaction with the manner in which the U.SA. Jewish press covered the Fulbright hearings. There was littie "objective coverage", he said, "a fact which Wghlights the r^ettable £ailure of the American Jewish _CQi»ro3anity to demand, amd suppcHrt the establish ment of a national, independent Jewish press, which

In reply to Senator Ful-bright's question about Uie source of the money the Jewish Agency "gave" the American Zionist Council, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and various other bodies, Mr. Gottlieb Hammer, Executive Vice-Chair-man of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., said, under oath, that it was definitely not money from American United Jewish Appeal sources. "This money," Mr. Hammer said, "came from American sources, from Canada."
At various points in the hearings Mr. Hammer and Mr. Hamlin, witnesses for the Jewish Agency, had to admit that they did not known how six-figiu-e sums were spent. Among the beneficiaries of the Jewish Agency largesse, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency seemed to be one of the biggest.
Senator Fulbright directed his questions to budget items which might involve lobbying and which were unaccounted for, such as: "special public-relations — fifty thousand dollars." However, incensed rabbis and Jewish community leaders are wondering about a number of matters in the, Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc. budget for the year ended March 31. 1959 (see page 1.291 of the "hearing" report), for instance:
Miscellaneous authorisations $5,111,758.79;
Jewish Agency Treasury Jerusalem Functional Expense -345,160.02; United Israel Appeal constituent organisations $l,151.r 544.00.
Another item, of $25,827.-168.70, is listed as "direct re? mittances", but only $103, 222.06 of the nearly $47-mil'
lion Jewish Agency budget for 1960 is listed imder the item "AUyah Israel".
Writing to his colleagues. Rabbi Kehnah notes that >ythe testimony speaks for ^^elf, and I would hope that iHe conclusions one should drajv from this testimony willVbe carefully considered by the federations and wet fare funds of every conunu-nity in this coxmtry and lead to a critical and long overdue re-evaluation of how the philanthropic resources of our community should be allocated." Senator Fulbright ^yas es-ially persistent in qucs-
tioning Mr. Isaac Hamlin about the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The Senator thought it strange that Mr. Hamlin should describe the J.TA. as an "indqiendetit news agency" at a time when it is being heavily subsidised by the Jewish Age» cy. He finally ^confronted Mr^amlin with the follow-ing pars^ph of a letter Mr. Hamlin had written to Mr. Moshe Rivlin, on June 9, 1961: "It is our only possibility of transferring financial responsibility for the J.TA while at the same time retaining an important voi^ in its management."

POPE PIUS - (continued from page 4)
"He spoke in a similar vein to a group of cardinals in the summer of 1943. Although the Pope did not mention the Jews specifically, I was told that his words were of great comfort to the Jews.
"The Pope always used to say that if he remained silent, he did so 'in order to avoid greater evils.' He could not tell the nations and the Catholics outside Nazi domina'tion anything they did not already know; They knew as much about the plight of the Jews as he did."
In answer to a suggestion that the Pope could have excommunicated "active Nazis" as he was later to do with "active Communists," Father Lieber replied: "To tell German Catholics in 1943—44 to lay down their arras would have been something only a madman could have done. As for your suggestion that he could at least have ex-communicated Hitler, I would like to recall that a similar action
in the sixteenth century (when Queen Elizabeth I of England was ex'communi-cated) was unsuccessful. It was wrong then, and would have been ridiculous m our times.
"Hochhuth and others are asking whether an open protest by Pope Pius XII would have put an end to the extermination of the Jews. In 1943—44, when what was.happening to the Jews became known, although the total number of victims was still unknown, nobody thought that the Pope could have put an end to the extermination of the Jews by making an open protest.
"There were some cardinals who thought that the Pope should have spoken out, for the future and for history, but nobody thought that the Pope could have put an end to the extermination of the Jews. The whole world knew, however, that he deplored this extermination."
