40 Tombstones Wrecked in Munich; Police Say Revelers, but Jews Disagree Miss Spark Wins MUNICH (JTA) — Vandals up- rooted and damaged about 40 tombstones in the 150-year-old Jewish Cemetery in Munich last weekend, and police said that the desecrations were committed by drunken revelers at the height of the curent Fasching (carnival) sea- son. However, Dr. Hendrick Van Dam, general secretary Of the Cen- tral Council of Jews in Germany, changed Monday that the vandal- ism had obviously been done with "calculated malice." He added that the crime was "not to be wondered at" in view of the anti-Semitic headlines con- stantly on display in the right- wing newspapers widely displayed on West German newstands. A special Munich police com- mission began a search for the vandals, who were believed to be 18 to 20 years old. A reward of 3,000 marks ($750) has been of- fered for their apprehension. Munich Mayor Hans Jochem Vogel visited the cemetery Sunday and expressed his condolences, to Munich's Jewish community. The city government debated whether to publicize the desecration and finally allowed photographers and newsmen to enter the vandalized cemetery Sunday. Another Jewish cemetery dese- cration was reported in a German city Tuesday as officials in Munich announced the arrest of a suspect in the desecration of the 40 tomb- stones. The suspect was identified as Christoph Seller, a laborer. The new incident took place in Mun- cheon-Gladbach Monday. Four gravestones were toppled. Police said it was the work of children.

Quebec Premier Cited; Assures Jews of Amity MONTREAL (JTA) — The ef- forts of French-speaking Canadi- ans in Quebec to achieve "their rightful place" poses no threat to Jews and other minority groups in the province. Premier Jean Lesage told the 39th Fellowship Dinner in Temple Emanu-El Synagogue here. The premier was presented with a Brotherhood Award of Brotherhood of Merit. The premier called on all ethnic groups in the province to support their French-speaking fellow citi- zens, as he explained that French- Canadians were becoming less in- tolerant on religious and racial lines as they built an improved so- ciety and their self-confidence in- creased. A number of neo-Fascists have been active in Quebec in re- cent years. He said that "a few isolated extremist demonstrations, or a number of remarks taken out of context" have "the appearance of threats." He assured his audi- ence of Catholics, Jews and Protestants, however, that the movement "is not directed against anyone and will never be as long as I am leader of the government in power" and has "no racial overtones whatever." The premier, who visited Israel last summer, compared the changes with those of Israel, as- serting that in Israel, as in Que- bec, "the people are working to achieve balance and are gradually laying the social and economic framework for a community in full expansion." He was honored by Temple Emanu-El for his "dis- tinguished leadership in the pol- itical and cultural life of Canada." 10" REGAL TEFLON® FRY PAN for saving $500 or more in a new or current account Now through April 11th!

It bars denial of accommoda- tion, public services or other fa- cilities or denial of employment to anyone because of race, color or ethnic origin. The measure also would prohibit reference to racial, ethnic or religious origin in adver- tisements for employment, except for a domestic servant or when the employer is a religious, philanth- ropic, educational or similar type of organization. Trade unions and employers' or- ganizations also would be prohi- bited from excluding anyone from membership on the same grounds. He who closes his ear against the cry of the poor Will himself also call and not be answered. — Proverbs THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, March 4, 1966-13 1% New Yearly Rate Compounded QUARTERLY 4 318% annual yield METROPOLITAN FEDERAL SAVINGS 1 Mail to the METROPOLITAN FEDERAL SAVINGS office near you.
