Jewish Community Center here
has been criticized in the official
publication of the United Jewish
Federation of Norfolk for refusing
to grant permission for an anti-
war protest last month on center
grounds because the demonstra-

day night.
News Editor Marilyn Goldman
warned in her editorial that such
actions might cause disaffected
Jewish youth to "withdraw per-

organized Jewish community. She
asserted that "we will have justi-
fied their feelings of betrayal by ,
the older generation in a maze of
social injustice and social hypo-1
crisy."
