LONDON (JTA) — Lead-
ers of the Board of Deputies

sorrow at the assassination
by Irish terrorists of Earl
Mountbatten and three
other members of his fam-
ily. Eulogies were delivered
la-st week at a meeting

at the annual memorial
parade of Jewish ex-
servicemen.
His wife, who died in
1960, was a granddaughter
of Sir Ernest Cassel, a
Jewish millionaire born in
Germany, and a forest in
her name has been planted
in Israel.

JCRC Criticizes
NY Legislature
NEW YORK (JTA) --
The failure of the New Yc
Legislature to act, durili g
its most recent session, on a
wide variety of bills aimed
at preventing cemetery
vandalism has been de-
nounced by the Jewish
Community Relations
Council of New York. The
bills would have stiffened
penalties for acts of van-
dalism, ascribed responsi-
bility for restitution and re-
storation of damaged
stones, and legalized steps
to prevent such incidents in
the future.
