New York (JTA) —
Synagogue desecration was
reported in PennsYlvania and
Florida last month, one of
which resulted in the arrest of
a white power skinhead
youth.
At Kesher Israel in Har-
risburg, Pa., anti-Semitic
graffiti and swastikas were
spray-painted on the Or-
thodox synagogue walls.
Part of the $1,000 worth of
damage, according to Rabbi
Chaim Schertz of Kesher
Israel, included slogans
"Jewish Dogs," "Jews Out Of
U.S.," "You Have Been Warn-
ed," and "We Will Win"
Two weeks later, the police
arrested Christopher Cook, a
19-year-old leader of a
skinhead group called the Up
Starts.
In a separate graffiti inci-
dent in South Miami Beach,
Fla., the Beth Tfilah Con-
gregation was desecrated
with a swastika and the spray
painted words "Nazi" and
"WASP."
About six months ago, the
40-year-old Orthodox syna-
gogue was also the target of
vandalism as a dozen win-
dows, one of which was stain-
ed glass, were shattered.
There have been no known
arrests in either Florida case,
according to Rabbi Solomon
Schiff, executive vice presi-
dent of the Rabbinical
Association of Greater
Miami.

Murder Thal
Is Deadlocked

Los Angeles (JTA) — A fed-
eral judge declared a mistrial
last Friday after the jury
deadlocked in the case of an
American immigrant to
Israel and a wealthy Los
Angeles real estate broker
charged in the mail-bomb
murder of a secretary at a
local computer company.
The jury announced that it
was deadlocked 10-2 in favor
of convicting Rochelle_ Mann-
ing and 6-6 on William Ross,
the broker. Also charged in
the case was Manning's hus-
band, Robert, who remains a
fugitive in Israel.
The two Mannings, resi-
dents of the West Bank town
of Kiryat Arba, were accused
of preparing and sending a
mail bomb in 1980 to the com-
puter firm at the behest of
Ross, who allegedly wished to
settle a score over a property
dispute with the owner of the
company. .
The package was opened in-
stead by secretary Patricia

Wilkerson, who followed the
accompanying instructions to
plug the device into an elec-
tric outlet and was killed
instantly.
Both Mannings immigrated
to Israel from Los Angeles
and hold dual American and
Israeli citizenship.
U.S. District Judge Dickran
Tevrizian set Jan. 27 to pick
a date for a new trial and to
rule on defense requests that
the defendants be acquitted.
Federal prosecutors said they
had not decided whether to
ask for a retrial of the case.
Preceding the trial, the
prosecution stated that the
three defendants had met
through their membership in
the Jewish Defence League.
But Judge Tevrizian ruled
that this allegation could not
be introduced at the trial,
because it would prejudice the
jurY.
For the same reason, Tevriz-
ian barred mention of Robert
Manning's prior conviction
for placing an incendiary
device at the Los Angeles
home of two Arabs in 1972.
U.S. government sources
told the press that Robert
Manning was closely linked
to Rabbi Meir Kahane and his
anti Arab Kach party.

Nazi Criminal
Reportedly Dead

New York (JTA) — A Dut-
chman • being sought in
Argentina for Nazi war
crimes is reported by Interpol
to have died in Switzerland
15 years ago.
Interpol, the international
police force, has said that Ber-
nardus Andries Riphagen
died in Geneva in 1973.
Interpol's report was made
to Dutch authorities, which
had requested the extradition
of Riphagen to try him for his
wartime deeds.
Riphagen was accused of
the arrest of more than 2,000
Jews and the death of some of
them, according to Rabbi
Morton Rosenthal, director of
Latin American Affairs for
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith.
Riphagen was one of three
Dutchmen being sought in
Argentina for Nazi war
crimes. Rosenthal went to
Argentina in November with
a list of these men and was
assured by Argentine
authorities they were active-
ly searching for them.
One of the others on Rosen-
thal's list, Jan Olij, was ar-
rested Dec. 7 in Buenos Aires
and told police that Riphagen
had left Argentina many
years before and was believed
to be in West Germany.
