Show Cause Otder issued Ito HUD in Low-Income Forest Hills Project

NEW YORK (JTA) — The New
York City Housing Authority and
the Department of Housing and
Urban Development will answer
a show cause order in federal
court here Jan. 18 to demonstrate
why- they should not be enjoined
from continuing construction of a
controveratak low-income housing
project in Forest Hills, Queens.
The project is being built by the
housing authority and is financed
by the federal agency.
Suit against the Authority and
HUD was filed by the Queens Jew-
ish Community Council last Fri-
day in the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of New York.
The basis of the suit is the al-
leged failure of the city and HUD
comply with terms of the Na-
tional Environment Policy Act.

The QJCC is opposed to the
project on grounds that it would
drastically alter the character
of the white, middle class, pre-
dominently Jewish neighborhood.
The QJCC was one of several
Jewish organizations that boycot-
ted a meeting Friday at City Hall
which Mayor John V. Lindsay
called to bring together opponents
and supporters of the project.
The meeting was attended by
representatives of the American
Jewish Congress, American Jew-
ish Committee, Bnai Brith Anti-
Defamation League, the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, the Urban Lea-
gue and the Liberal Party, all of
which favor the project. Opppo-
nents were represented by the
Forest Hills Residents Association.
Some 700 Forest Hills residents
demonstrated in mid-Manhattan
for nearly two hours Sunday. The
protestors shouted "Down with
Lindsay" and "Down with- -the
project." Their leader was Jerry
Mass.—Dr. Marver Birbach, president of the Forest

recommendation by the university's
presidential sear c h committee,
which has been meeting for one
year seeking a successor to Schott-
