Two members of yie Conference which were absent from the session were the Delegation of Jewish As¬ sociations of Argentine and thp Jewish War Veterans of the U. S.
Outside the conference room, a group of 30 Revisionist youth stag¬ ed a defiant sit-down demonstra¬ tion, scorning an Invitation from the Conference that one or two delegates of Brlth Trumpeldor sft- tond the discussions. The group In¬ sisted that the entire body be ad.' mltted. Conferees turned down the demand.
Leaders of the youth group later
distributed)'a  leaflet  assailing the

PHILADELPHIA (AJP) — A stiEunpede of vandalism which left a badly pillaged synagogue In Its wake and contended,, for top placo as one of^ this city's worst acta of desecration, was speedily checked this week with the arrest and con¬ fession of 13 hell-bent youths, the youngest Just turned seven.
Damage to the newly-pjp<:based TikVeh Chadeshoh Synagogue was 'estimated at $2,000, officials here told the American Jewish Press. The vandals smashed windows, lit¬ erally ripped lamps out of the floor, overturned and destroyed benches, and destroyed glass shades. A sacred ornamental pulpit cover vyas hurled outside into the mud.
Apparently not content with the interior damage, the vandals broke several stones out of a flagstone platform in the rear of the East Germantown synagogue. A tree near the rear door was neatly sev- vered and hurled Into the syna¬ gogue.
The congregation's president, Fred Kaufman, suffered ^ serious heart attack upon learning that the aynagiSfgue had been vandaliz¬ ed. He showed slight signs of im¬ provement after being reported in serious condition.
The last Germantown ¦ raid fol¬ lowed by a month the apprehension by   local   police  and  Jewish  Com-
