BROOKLYN — The first Ortho-
dox-sponsored residence facility in
the U.S. for Jewish children who
are unable to live at home will be
opened in mid-October here, with
an initial group of 20 boys,
aged 6 to 12. The Ohel Resi-
dence for Boys will be housed in
a new 26-room structure now being
erected in the Boro Park section
of Brooklyn, under sponsorship of

ments of either-right-wing or mod-
crate opponents of his appoint-
ment, this has not been the case
with organizations in the nation's
overtly anti-Semitic movement."
Among extremist actions against
the elevation of Justice Fortas
singled out in the American Jewish
Committee report were the fol-
lowing:
1. The Liberty Lobby, racist-tinted
ultra-rightist group engaging in political
lobbying and propaganda distribution,
whose executive secretary, W. B. Hicks,
Was a public witness against Fortas,
mailed 280,000 copies of "Emergency
Liberty Letter No. 21," which declared
that "Abe Fortas is not a juvenile de-
linquent who has dabbled in Commu-
nist causes for thrills. He 1.s a 58-year-
old convinced revolutionary in deadly
earnest."
2. The John Birch Society started its
organized opposition to the Fortas
nomination in July with distribution
of literature at its New England "Rally
for God, Home and Country," Its drive
was carried on in its August bulletin.
which suggested a mail campaign by
Birch Society members using informa-
tion on Fortes found in the Birch-
produced Dictionary of Biological
Sketches of American Liberals. Doubts
about Fortas' loyalty to the U.S. were
raised by the Birch publications.
3. Kent Courtney, a Birch Society
member who also heads his own Con-
servative . Society of America and who
also testified against Fortas has
charged in his publications that Fortas
invariably ruled With the Communists
and with individual Communists in his
court decisions on behalf of what it
called the Communist conspiracy."
Courtney appealed for extra funds from
his subscribers to carry on the stop-
Fortas movement; among his plans were
mailings to newspapers, radio and TV
stations, members of Congress, and
Washington correspondents.
4. Dan Smoot, in the August 12
issue of the Dan Smoot Report, charged
that Fortas for almost a generation
"has been one of the most notorious
influence peddlers, White House in-
siders, political fixers and wire pullers
ever to adorn the Washington scene."
Smoot's readers were urged to let
senators know how they felt about the
Fortas nomination, implying that his
removal from the Supreme Court al-
together would be pushed once his
elevation to chief justice was blocked.
S. Members of tile extremist organi-
zation, We, The Ptiople, received copies
of Free Enterprise, its monthly publi-
cation, attacking Fortas; alleged Com-
munist sympathies. They were urged
SO "remind (your two U.S. Senators)
of Fortas' long pro-Communist record
. . . We are at war with the Com-
munists — so why should they accept
the appointment of a Communist sym-
pathizer to the head of the highest
our land?"

messages attacking Fortes' nomination
through its network of approximately
140 outlets across the country. Contrary
to the usual practice of limiting mes.
sages to a week' duration, the anti.
Fortas recordin ave been played for
weeks in various parts of the U.S.
7. Dr. Fernando Penabaz, publisher
of the right-wing journal Insight on the
News and a former colleague of Billy
James Hargis, urged in his September 1
issue that the Fortes nomination be
blocked because of the justice's affilia-
tion with -the National Lawyers Guild,
his friendship with Alger Hiss and
Harry Dexter White, and his alleged
role in trying to keep the story of

Who also is a member of the Birch
Society National Council, has repeated
the familiar charge that Justice Fortes
was a critic of the Government Loyalty
Security programs in the 1940s and
1950s, and that he was pro-Communist,
a fixer, and a defender of Communists.
