Vandals Despoil
Hartford Graves
HARTFORD, Conn. (JTA)—A
wave of vandalism in the Jewish
section of a local cemetery where
more than 130 gravestones were
overturned amid a litter of empty
liquor bottles and beer cans drew
expressions of shock and disgust
last week from Hartford’s Chief
of Police and from the head of
the Jewish Federation’s com
munity relations oammitttee.
The desecrations occurred at the
Zion Hill Cemetery while the
caretaker was on vacation and
were confined to the Jewish sec
tion. Damage was estimated in
excess of $2,000. Police Chief
John Kerrigan said “these das
tardly acts committed by un
known bigots who defiled and
toppled gravestones of Jewish de
ceased are appalling and, I feel
certain, shock the conscience of
all men of good will everywhere.”
Jerry Wagner, chairman of the
Federation’s CRC, said “we want
to express our shock that such an
incident could haippen in Hart
ford.”

ship-ito-shore missiles with a

Abie Nathan
Peace Pilot
Visits UN
UNITED NATIONS (WUP) —
Abie J. Nathan, the Israeli
“Peave Pilot” who had taken it
upon himself to fly to Egypt on
two occasions—once in February,
1966, and again this year follow
ing the Six-Day War—in an at
tempt to see Nasser on a mission
of peace, “flew into” (the UN
headquarters in his continuous
effort to bring about an Israeli-
Arab peace.
Guest of the WUP editor, the
fabulous Abie—proprietor of Tel
Aviv’s “California” restaurant —
was taken to a Cyprus reception
where he greeted that nation’s
Foreign Minister and UN Ambas
sador (it was from Cyprus that
Abie made his recent flight in
his private plane).
During the evening, he was in
troduced to Secretary General U
Thant who greeted him warm
ly. The Israeli apostle of peace,
who holds the view that Presi
dent Nasser of the UAR is the
one man in the Arab world with
whom some understanding for a
political settlement oan be reach
ed, told UN officials that, os a
first step toward a settlement,
Egypt and Israel should came to
an agreement on the opening of
the Suez Canal.
Hate Sheet Rips
Cardinal Spellman
For Israel Support
NEW YORK (WUP)—The no
torious meshumad Benjamin H.
Freedman, who has taken over
the anti-Semitic hate-sheet Com
mon Sense— originated by the
late Oonde McGinley—has found
a new target for his vicious
smears—‘the late Francis Cardinal
Spellman.
An October issue of the sheet
was devoted, in the main, to an
attack on Spellman for the role
he played in 1949 in urging Latin
American States to vote for Is
rael’s election as a member of
the UN. “If Cardinal Spellman
had not been so successful,”
Freedman bemoans in his signed
article, ‘'the so-called State of
Israel would today in the eyes
of the world merely be a kan
garoo regime of an armed up
rising by a transplanted alien
minority of the Palestine popu-
tion.”
Freedman contends that it was
the Latin-American vote that
swung Israel’s admission to the
UN and for this he holds Card
inal Spellman responsible.

tillery have moved up to the
