An advertisement to plant trees in a Jewish National Fund forest in Israel in sympathy with the victims of the terrorist attack on the Vienna synagogue has appeared in the Dutch press. It is signed by parliamentarians of most of the Dutch political parties and by representatives of the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches and others. The initiative was taken by the Amsterdam Protestant cleric, Rev. Arnold Spijkerboer. The attack on the Vienna synagogue Aug. 29 left two people dead and 18 wounded.
