planted in the high school it-
self. They were found before
any serious damage was caused.
An arson attempt was also made
on the home of a Jewish sales-
man in the area.
Investigators of the situation
expressed the belief that a di-
recting force was behind the
Hitler group at the Olney school
and indicated that they were
looking for one or more men
who instigated the youths and
directed their activities.
The mayor's newly-established
Commission on Human Rela-
tions announced that the Olney
situation would be the first item
to be considered by the com-
mission.
Attacks on Jewish Youths
Meanwhile Crime Prevention
Bureau officials revealed a wave
of gang atacks on Jewish youths
throughout the city. Ten such
assaults have taken place since
November, they said.
One youth, arraigned in muni-
cipal court on assault and bat-
tery charges, confessed to tak-
ing part in these attacks. He
was ordered held for psychiatric
examination, and the court said
he would be committed to re-
form school if found to be men-
tally sound.
Representatives of the Jewish
Community Relations Council,
which has been taking an active
part in the investigations, were
consulted on action to be taken
in connection with four other
youths arrested on charges of
participating in the attacks.
Detectives said that sometimes
two and at most three victims
were attacked at one time and
that anti-Semitic remarks were
part of each attack. One of the
victims took down the license
number of his assailant's car,
which led to the arrest of five
suspects.
Eleven boys, aged seven to 14,
were placed on probation when
arraigned in Juvenile Court here
on charges of desecrating the
Benjamin F. Teller Memorial
Synagogue. Their parents were
ordered to pay the damage, esti-
mated at $1,000.

'Warn of Miami Danger
MIAMI, (AJP) — Fifty-three
days ago today—Feb. 15—since
the Mims murder of a Negro
leader and almost three full
months since dynamite • blasts
first shook Florida Jewish cen-
ters in the latest terror reign,
federal agents, joining local po-
lice, have failed to crack the
cases.
And with that failure came an
attack from a ' national Jewish
leader who charged Miami po-
lice with failure to hunt down
tips of impending attacks
against synagogues in this area.
Flaying Miami law enforce-
ment authorities was Emanuel
Muravchik, national field direc-
tor of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee, who recently conducted
a survey of the terror-ridden
Florida front.
Warns of Danger
"The racial outbreaks in
Florida and the murders of
Harry T. Moore, a leader of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
and his wife," Muravchik said,
"could have been avoided had
the police taken full cognizance
of the advance information they
had allegedly received that vio-
lence against the NAACP leader
was contemplated.
"By their failure to recognize
the danger," he continued, "the
racial outbreaks in Florida were
given the stamp of approval by
the authorities in Miami. The
desecration of religious institu-
tions was a direct result of the
delinquency of the police de-
partment to follow up the in-
formation they had received in
advance.'
