on the planned low-income hous-
ing project in Forest. Hills, Queens,
which has engendered h e a t e d
argument following objections by
middle-class whites who deny they
are racially motivated.
Meanwhile, at Grossinger, N.Y.,
the Anti-Defamation League came
out unequivocally in favor of the
project as a means of achieving
integration.
The ADL, in a statement by
Lawrenle Peirez, chairman of
the fact-finding committee, ex-
pressed the ADL's "overwhelm-
ing support" for the Forest
,
Mils project. Peirez charged
that its -opponents "have been
agitated out of all proportion into
baseless fears that their neigh-
borhoods -will be destroyed."
.Dr. Abraham Joshua Ileschel,
the theologian, told the ADL's
58th annual meeting that the hous-
ing project "was mishandled by
the city administration," which
"showed a complete lack of under-
standing and bungled the situa-
tion."
The educator added that while
American Jewry must be active
in the civil rights fight, it was
not its responsibility to "take the
lead." Most of. Forest Hills' pop-
ulation is Jewish.
Also, 16 - community organiza-
tions of Queens and Long Island,
led by Rabbi I. Usher Kirshblum,
past president of the Queens Rab-
binical Assembly, endorsed the
housing project as "a moral issue"
that should not be "decided by a
majority or minority vote."

240 Jewish Graves Damaged in Lithuania
LONDON (JTA)—Soviet Jewish
sources reported that the Jewish
cemetery in Kovno, the former
capital and now the second-largest
city in Lithuania, was desecrated
Oct. 15 by six youths who destroy-
ed 240 tombstones.
The police found and arrested
the desecrators, but released them
because they were only 16 years
old.
The Kovno Jewish cemetery
dates back to the 15th century.
It contains the graves of many
famous rabbis, sages, writers and
public fignres, ripiUdink Rabbi
Isaac. Elchamin -SPektot (1817-
1896?, the ranking Talmudist of
the last part of the 1.9th* Century,
and Baal Makhshoves .(Isidor Elya-
shev; -18'13-1924), "" the Yiddish
critic.

Dr. Marvin Schick, Mayor John

with Jewish groups concerning the
housing project, top city officials
have emphasized that a substantial
number of the tenants will be Jew-

Dr. Schick also declared that
leaders of the Forest Hills Jewish
community had been extended in-

the process of tenant selection
for the 840-unit low income project.
