The appeal was issued by the "Appeal of Conscience Foundation." A Jewish attorney active in civil rights causes said he was organ- izing the first protest demonstra- tion against the Iraq execution of nine Jews in which representatives of New York's Negro and Puerto Rican communities will take part. The demonstration will be staged Sunday afternoon in front of the United Nations. The Brooklyn Jewish Community Council asked Jewish-owned and operated stores in the borough to close for a half hour Thursday to symbolize their protest against the public hangings. The hangings were denounced by Donald S. Harrington, chairman of the New York State Liberal Party, who likened them to Hitler's "final solution" and the Stalinist purges in Russia.
