The FBI and metropolitan police today investigated a forced entry that occurred last night at national headquarters of the Jewish War Veterans. It could not be determined whether the motive was common robbery or anti-Semitic espionage. Files were broken into.

Terrorists today sabotaged an attempt by Northern Virginia non-Jews to make a gesture of confidence in Rabbi Emmet Frank, Alexandria, Virginia, rabbi whose desegregation views incurred segregationist wrath. Today, the Rabbi was to have spoken in a guest sermon at the Arlington Unitarian Church, but when worshippers gathered a bomb threat caused the building to be hurriedly evacuated. Police and FBI agents found no bomb.
