"It seems that the ZOA has lost its identity and is looking around to find it," Lipsky told more than 350 guests at the parry. Taking to task the recently adopted ZOA project program for Israel,. Lipsky termed the move as "30 years behind the times." He recalled that the ZOA "was strong as long as it was unconcerned with itself" and work- instead for the Zionist ideal. ed The veteran Zionist leader predicted that ties between Israelis and American Jews will grow stronger in future years. - - - - A number of top leaders of the ZOA attending the party, obviously annoyed with Lipsky's blast, contended that the occasion did not call for an attack upon the ZOA, especially, according to one spokesman, "in front of leaders of other parties." Lipsky's statements were not challenged, one ZOA leader said, "only because of 'the occa,. - sion." Similar attacks by Lipsky at the recent Chicago conference of ZOA leaders, it was report- ed, drew strong fire. . MIAMI (AJP)—Agents of the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation, acting on direct orders of Justice Department chief J. Howard MCGrath, probed the dynamiting of a synagogue and a Negro housing project here to determine whether Federal statutes had been violated. President Truman, vacationing in nearby Key West, was quoted as being gravely concerned over the terrorism. The President, informed of the raids through his per- sonal secretary, reportedly urged the FBI to probe the bombings. The, FBI's entrance into the tension-ridden reign of terror against Jewish houses -of worship followed on the heels of two strong appeals, one by the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith and the other from the Jewish War Veterans of the U. S., that Federal enforcement agencies take immediate action in prosecuting the dynamite vandals, Attorney General - McGrath said in Washington that he had instructed FBI agents to move in on the area in an effort to determine if any violation of the civil rights laws or other Federal rulings were involved. Meanwhile city officials offered rewards totaling upwards to $9,000 for the- arrest and conviction of those responsible for the explosions. Jewish leaders, joined by members of the Christian clergy, earlier demanded increased police protection. The latest dynamiting of the Miami Hebrew School and Con- gregation resulted in damage to more than 40 window panes. Other recent bombings have been at the Tifereth Israel Northside Jewish Center on June 5 and Temple Israel On Oct. 9. The rabbis Miami Beach expressed horror at the Jewish War Veterans proposal to set up armed guards at synagogues to prevent bombings. The rabbis expressed confidence in the ability of the authorities, with the aid of the FM, to provide the needed protection. The bombings constitute only part of the .anti-Jewish acts. Violent anti-Semitic signs and attacks against a Jew- ish cemetery have served further to add to the tenseness which has gripped this area, A new attempt to dynamite another synagogue was disclosed this week. Racial terrorists, in their second attack against a Jewish center in the Miami area in less than a week, hurled a lighted stick of dynamite at a Coral Gables synagogue. It did not explode because its fuse was severed when it struck a tree by mistake, police said. Hint of the attack first came with an anonymous telephone threat late Saturday night, but it fell to a 12-year-old Boy Scout, Arnold Levy, who discovered the explosive lying in the street in front of the 'Synagogue. Meanwhile, the Jewish Community Council of New Haven, Conn., offered a $500.00 reward for the conviction of vandals who desecrated 11 Jewish and one Protestant cemetery. A third sore spot developed in New York. Police are probing the appearance of more than 500 crude signs in the Brooklyn area.. Cpngressional Action Planned WASHINGTON, (AJP)—A sharp, warning to the Jus- tice Department that any laxity in pressing a full probe into the bombings of Jewish synagogues and Negro apart- ments in Miami would result in the introduction of a severe bill to end the reign of terror, was issued by a New York congressman. Rep. Louis B, Heller (D.-N.Y.) , urging ac- tion, disclosed he was prepared to introduce a bill which would double or triple penalties for vandalism. Urging immediate action, Heller recalled that a similar bill introduced by him in the New York legislature in 1943- 44 virtually ended a "wave of vandalism" which gripped the Empire State.
