Hate Case Suspect
Freed in Toronto
TORONTO (JTA) — A man
accused of painting an anti-
Semitic slogan on a fence in
a Jewish neighborhood was
freed by a Toronto court on
grounds of insufficient evi-
dence.
Judge Michael Cloney, who
dismissed the case against
Armand Siksna, expressed
regret that he was unable to
find the defendant guilty on
the evidence provided by the
police constable who had ar-
rested him.
The case was the first to
be tried under Canada's anti-
hate propaganda act that be-
came law in 1970.
Siksna, 30, is a member of
the Western Guard, a right-
wing extremist group. He
was arrested on Nov. 11,
1973 with a spray can in his
possession and the slogan
"Down with the Jews" on a
fence hoarding nearby.
' Siksna denied that he had
painted the slogan and the
arresting officer was unable
to testify that he had caught
him in the act.
Commenting on the case,
Ben Keyfetz, director of the
Canadian Jewish Congress'
Ontario Region, said its out-
come "in no way undermines
the legislation." He said
when the proper case conies
along "its validity will be
upheld."

What is a mitzva? Is it a
good deed or a command—or
both?
A most informative addi-

Goldstein, defines all the rel-
ative terms and provides a
most interesting definition for
mitzvot.
Rabbinic
interpretations,
traditional approaches, views
culled from the Torah, quo-
