Police today were investigating an anti-Semitic incident in which vandals defaced and smeared with swastikas a notice posted by the Kadimah Jewish National Library of its plans to build a Jewish cultural center war memorial. Also inscribed across the notice were the slogans: “We love Germany” and “Germany forever.”

Unknown vandals also smeared eight large swastikas in red paint on the Albury war memorial for the dead of both world wars. Albury is a border town between New South Wales and Victoria. Workers removed the swastikas.
