A number of persons consider the letter anti- Semitic and Lobenthal described the testimony of the opponents before the city council as bla- tantly anti-Semitic. "These people would have supported Krystallnacht by a vote of 7-2," Lobenthal said. (Krystallnacht was the Night of Broken Glass in Germany in 1938, when Nazi gangs destroyed Jewish shops and synagogues and injured hundreds of Jews.) Lobenthal said a number of anti-Semitic comments were shouted from the audi- ence during the hearing. One man who identified himself as a Christian to the city council called the meet- ing "a sickening spectacle." Some of the comments "whispered" from the audi, ence included, "We should bring back Hitler" and SOFT CONTACT LENSES With One Year Follow Up Visits And 60 Day 'trial Plan — Cost Of Lenses Refunded In full If Not.Completely Satisfied.

However, the main threat to Israel is a political one— the deep erosion in the atti- tude toward Israel in Europe and the U.S. Sisco said that something has to be done to check this erosion lest it weaken the Israeli-American partner- ship.

Corner 9 Mile Rd., Southfield Richard Lobenthal, direc- tor of the Michigan regional office of the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith, has charged that Lathrup Village residents opposed to the use of Lat- hrup School by Akiva He- brew Day School are bla- tantly anti-Semitic. Lobenthal and John E. Jacobs, Michigan ADL board chairman, attended a meeting of the Lathrup Vil- lage City Council last week. The city council is consider- ing approval of an occu- pancy permit for Akiva. Lobenthal described op- ponents of Akiva at the meeting as "not represent- ing the current sentiment in Lathrup Village. These are holdovers from `Judenrein' Lathrup Village. They no longer represent the con- sensus of the community. But the new consensus does not show up to be heard." Akiva has negotiated a five-year lease and pur- chase option for the school with the South- field Board of Education.
