In Omaha, as in the resl of the United States and indeed, the rest of the world, people were shocked into disbelief, sadness and deep mourning by the sudden, tragic death of the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Today, one week later, people are still unwilling to believe that this vital figure is gone. The following statements reflect the feelings of the entire Omaha Jewish community. Rabbi Benjamin G r o n e r of Beth I s r a e l Synagogue. "The foul deed that snuffed out the life of President John F. Kennedy has plunged the land—nay, the entire world—into mourning. His was a perilous destiny, to lead America during a very troubled period, constantly beset with international tensions and internal difficulties. He was an able and vigorous statesman in the arena of world affairs; a wise and tolerant Chief of State who energetically coped with the problems of domestic friction; and n lovable family man, whose warmth endeared him to myraids of admirers. "His sudden, untimely end has sent waves of shock throughout the world. We pray that his tragic death will not disrupt the precarious balance of nominal peace that prevails among the nations today. May the Almighty grant His full measure of comfort to his grieving widow and to all members of the Kennedy family." Rabbi Myer Kripke, Beth El Synagogue; "Americans of all faiths are shattered by the great tragedy that has come upon us. From the depths of our being we send our condolences to Mrs. Kennedy .and the President's family, for when a man dies it is his family who arc the immediate and permanent sufferers.

OflGDf the power of Government officials to abuse the rights of office by refusing to abide by the laws of our land and deliberately procrastinating in their duty to give every citizen the right to which lie has always been entitled. The inherent evil which struck down the life of John F. Kennedy is our stubborn insistence upon the use of strength to solve our differences.

"But we pay tribute also in our own conscience for whenever we put our hands to violence or our hearts to death, whenever we destroy the rights of others which we demand for ourselves we too assassinate goodness and dignities and our self pride and honor.

"May God enfold the soul of John F. Kennedy in his Mercy and may He bless with his wisdom and strength the leadership of Lyndoa Johnson, upon whose shoulders falls the mantle of leadership as President of the United States." Cantor Manfred F. Kuttner, Temple Israel: "It is with the feeling of deep s o r r o w with which Omaha's Jewry mourns the passing of our great president, John F. Kennedy. "Our rabbis say greater are the righteous when their mortal frames no longer bind them to earth, than when they are with us in life. "Usually we look upon men of great wealth as being born under a lucky star, but John F. Kennedy, like many other great men, we could see rise from the lowest rung of the ladder to the top by virtue of pronounced personal qualities, painstaking endeavor, patient thrift and keen foresight. "The F a t h e r h o o d of God" meant to him in his daily life, "The brotherhood of man." And so he was always mindful to devise ever new means for the relief of suffering humanity. May the seeds of truth which he has sown and the work of righteousness which he promoted be a blessing forever to America, to all lands and his memory be blessed forevermore," These statements from the spiritual leaders of our community are indicative of the thinking of all the peoples of the World. John F. Kennedy, the 35th President is gone. Let us unite behind Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States.

Halpern: State Depf. 'Currying Favor' Washington (JTA)—Uep. Seymour Halpern, New York Republican charged in Congress this week that a United States resolution on Arab refugees at the United Nations was a "peevish and irresponsible attempt by the State Department to curry favor and sooth Arab feelings r u f f l e d by the Congressional amendment limiting aid to the United Arab Republic." Rep. Halpern said "the Near E a s t e r n situation is far too volatile for the State Department and the Arab nations to play with the emotions of the Arab refugees, by u s i n g this complex humane issue as a political f o o t b a l l in a onesided propaganda play against Israel." He said it was "unrealistic and cruel to falsely arouse the hopes of the Arab refugees for mass repatriation, when all concerned know that any solution of the Arab refugee problem hinges upon a general peace treaty." He declared that "outside the context of peace, nothing can be achieved but further inflammation of regional emotions and tensions, if the State Department continues using the hapless refugees as pawns in pursuit of Arab favor."

Henrich Mueller Alive in Cairo LONDON <JTA (-Former Gestapo General Henrich Mueller, who was the late Adolf Eichmann's immediate superior, was living in Cairo suburb as recently as a year ago, disguised under the Arab name of Amin Abdel Megid and had previously been engaged in writing antiJewish propaganda for President Nasser, according to the London Daily Express. Two m o n t h s ago. reports spread in Germany, that three sketches discovered in a German grave included Mueller's remains. Later, it was established that Mueller's corpse was not among these three. Mueller's movements, according to the newspaper, were traced to a hide-away in Munich, then to an Alpine ski resort in Austria, then to an Italian village on the Austro-Italy border, finally to a Catholic college in Italy, where a Yugoslav priest obtained for him stolen identity cards under the name of Jan Berlinsky, presumably a Pole from Lodz. Late in 1915, be went to Spain thence to Egypt. He wrote anti-Jewish propaganda for Nasser in 1949.
