Some 80 graves in the Jewish cemetery in Leghorn have been desecrated and many tombstones overturned, it was reported here today. Police so far have been unable to identify the vandals. The Federation of Italian Jewish Youth is planning a mass meeting Sunday in Leghorn to protest what they charged was anti-Semitism and racialism.
