A police guard was placed today at the Rabbinical Seminary of America in Queens after the fifth suspicious fire in 10 days was put out by firemen.
Rabbi Abraham Ginsberg, director of the Queens school, told police that after the fourth fire last Saturday, he received an anonymous telephone call in which he was told: “This is Eichmann. Beware. The rest is to come Friday night.”
