A group of 88 ecclesiastical and lay leaders of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths in this state sent a letter to Soviet Premier Khrushshev today, demanding an end to USSR repressions against Jewish religious and cultural life in the USSR. The message was sent to Mr. Khrushchev through Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin, at Washington, by Louis J. Finger, chairman of the Delaware unit of the American Jewish Committee.
Among the signers were 41 Protestants, 34 Catholics and 13 Jews, including Catholic Bishop Michael W. Hyle; Protestant Episcopal Bishop J. Brooke Mosley; Rabbis Herbert E. Drooz, Leonard B. Gewirtz and Jacob Kraft; and Samuel Eisenstadt, president of the Jewish Federation of Delaware.
