PROTEST RABBI
zUBER'S MURDER

At a meeting Saturday even
ing called by the directors of
Freedom House, Inc, IA Craw-
ford ST., Roxbury, group of pro.
fessional workers in community
relations deplored the murder of
Rabbi Jacob l. Zuber and discuss
ed plans for immediate action to
obtain such physical needs as
better lighting and more ade-
uuate police protection for the
Roxbury community. Plans for a
long-range civic program were
also discussed.
The people living within sight
/ of the spot where this brutal
crime was committed, said O.
Phillip Snowden, Director OF
Freedom House, "have register
ed double concern. They have
been extremely vocal in their
sympathy for the family of the
slain Rabbi Zuber, and they have
been bitter in their criticism that
the physical conditions of their
neigh borhood should lend them
selves to such acts of violence.
Never in my twenty years of liv-
ing and working in Roxbury have
I seen all segments of the COM
munity so unanimous in their
feeling that this type of thing
must be prevented"
The group, composed primarily
of community relations workers
in the upper-Roxbury area, was
in complete accord on the follow
ing action: sending a message of
sympathy to both the family OF
the late Rabbi Zuber and to the |
congregation of the Beth Haml-
drash Hagodol Synagogue, Mr..
Myer Cressilov, Preident; and re-
uuesting an immediate meeting
with the Mayors Committee on
Civic Improvement in connection
with conditions in Roxbury, and
pledging their support to that
Committee.

ORGANIZATION COMPLETED

Discussing those three chan
nels, the director said that the
end of 1852 has seen the monu-
mental task of organization vir-
tually completed. 1t began with
carrying out the terms of the
Civil Defense Act calling for use
of existing facilities and person
mel. Thus, State and municipal
departments became the nucleus
of the organization, and State and
municipal employees and officials
became key workers in civil de-
fense.
State and municipal depart
ments fulfilled the requirements
of the seven division of civil de-
fense, which are medical and
health, rescue transportation :
evacuation, civilian war aid,
police, fire, communications and
utilities.
In this connection, the director
cited two State departments, each
with a counterpart in cities and
towns, as examples of how all
the manifold duties have been
assumed. One of these, the De-
partment of Public Health, has
planned for handling casualties,
blood typing, stockpiling of bio
logicals for prevention of epide-
mics in the wake of disaster,
