Mass. Synqgogue Desecrated; Publisher's Home Ransacked Holyokc, Mass (JTA) — AntiSemites ransacked the home of a newspaper publisher here last weekend, and carved swastika's on furniture and walls, after the paper had denounced the desecration of a local synagogue and an attempt to burn down the Jewish house of worship. The attack was made on the home of William Dwight, Sr., publisher of the Holyokc Transcript-Telegram. Mr. Dwight is not Jewish. In a statement telephoned from Miami, Mr. Dwight once more denounced the a t t a c k against the synagogue, declaring: "The desecration of the synagogue indicates there may be an element in our society of people with evil intent. The de-
secration of a synagogue or any other place of worship is a reprehensible act." Synagogue Attack The vandais who broke into Rodphey S h o1e m Synagogue scrawled black swastikas on the walls and set fire to part of the building. Firemen extinguished the flames in a closet off the lobby before they could spread. The two fool-high swastikas were found by Rabbi J a c o b Reiner when he arrived for evening services. He said that Torah scrolls had been thrown on the floor. Holyoke Fire Chief William Mahoney said that the closet fire was "definitely arson" and that the desecration did not appear to be the work of children.

Richmond, Va (JTA)—American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell won at least 0,312 votes—more than one per cent of the total ballots c a s t in his unsuccessful bid for the Governorship of Virginia. Surprise was voiced in some quarters that Rockwell, whose Nazism is notorious throughout the state, was able to poll that many votes when right-wing Virginians rallied behind the Conservative Party's William J. Story, a militant segregationist and member of the John Birch Society. Mr. Story obtained at least G9,:M8- votes. The election was won by Lt. Gov; Mills E. Godwin by a comfortable margin.
New York (JTA)—The American Section of the World Jewish Congress has announced that it has embarked upon an intensified campaign to secure United States ratification of the Genocide Convention and of other human rights treaties. Ratification has been bottled up in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 16 years despite appeals by Presidents and high governmental officials. So far 68 nations, including Soviet Russia, have ratified the treaty, which is designed to outlaw any attempt to massacre an entire people. Public Meetings As part of the program to secure U.S. ratification of the Genocide Convention, the American Section of the World Jewish Congress will sponsor a series of public meetings throughout the United States. In New York City a meeting will be held on November 30, at the Astor Hotel with Dr. NahunV. Goldmann,' president of the World Jewish Congress,' as the principal speaker. The theme of the meeting will be "Never Again Auschwitz—United States Must Ratify Genocide Convention." '
