Terence Cardinal Cooke, Archbishop of New York, left Israel Tuesday after a four-day visit. He told officials here, including Tourism Minister Moshe Kol, that he felt hopeful of increased Christian pilgrim traffic to Israel now that the political situation seemed quieter. The Cardinal himself headed a group of 50 pilgrims from New York on his trip. Many of them have remained for more extensive touring.
