An audience of 500 persons, most of them survivors of the Nazi concentration camps, met at the Borochov Center here to protest the swastika smearings which have hit Toronto synagogues for five weekends in a row.
Max Federman, leader of the Labor Zionist movement, linked the swastika smearings with the terrorists who have placed bombs in mailboxes in Quebec and with political intrigues like those of the Nasser regime in the Middle East.
A resolution was passed calling on the Canadian Jewish Congress to pursue the issue vigorously and to use all possible means to apprehend the culprits and halt the smearings. A speaker for the Jewish Labor Committee urged united mass action by the Toronto Jewish community. Police have posted a watch on Jewish institutions but no arrests have yet been made.
