e e The United States Palestine pol­

icy today bad been assailed by Mordecai Konowitz, president of the Long Island branch of the United Synagogue, at a special prayer and intercession service in Beth Israel temple, Hempstead.

Konowitz was introduced l a s t night by Rabbi Harry E. Schwartz, head of the synagogue, which was filled to capacity by the congrega­tion.

He charged the United States representatives at the United Na­tions with "a consistent policy of indifference to the moral issues involved and an attempt to evade the real Issues" at stake in the Palestine problem.

"Abandonment of the partition claims by United States officials plan." he charged, "following that they would stand by the Unit­ed Nations" was termed "double talk" by Konowitz.

He said they had done everything "to appease the Arabs and to avoid taking the leadership which they have been called upon to offer."

Contending that American repre­sentatives have followed "a path flooded in oil," the Jewish leader demanded they "retrace their steps to follow a path of dignity and honor."

"We, the Jewish people," he said, "aren't the oldest witnesses of the futility of power, conquest, armies and governments based upon force."

Konowitz expressed hope for the future of the Jewish people.

"Our spirit should be uplifted," h eproclatmed. "For the first time in 2,000 years Jewish men have stood up on their own soil and have fought for their independence."

He urged the sending of clothing to the Haganah, Jewish army in Palestine.

Konowitz. referring to his talk as "The Strange Case of Uncle Sam," charged that United States delegates wen to the United Nations Palestine talks with "no policy at all."

"I am troubled by acts and words of our own country," he said, say­ing they took place "behind the silken curtain which cloaks the stage of the United Nations."

he said, "In fact, it might be better for all concerned if they are heard on different occasions."

"At best, the ease is premature," he continued. "There may not be a case when we are through presenting motions."

Calls Case First In State "In view of the unusualness of

this case, which is, I believe, the first of its type to be tried in New York state," O'Connell said, "we feel we need at least three weeks to study the 47 typewritten pages of the indictments and prepare the motions we desire to make."

Gehrig opposed the line of reason­ing, stating that the three defend­ants and their attorney have known the nature of the charges all along. Roreck and his own expert witnes­ses, Gehrig said, were permitted to testify under waiver before the grand jury during the investigation.

' • "This is a matter of great public interest," he said in conclusion," and should not be delayed."

6 Counts of Larceny The six counts of grand larceny

against Roreck and Schwartz were based on the two cash payments each by three of the veterans who purchased homes from their firm. They are accused of taking the money as purchase price, mortgage payments and construction costs for the homes after defrauding the veterans by falling to erect the building according to specifications and plans filed with the Mineola building inspector.

The specifications were also filed with the Veterans Adminstration, which approved loans in connec­tion with the homes, and with the Dimea Savings Bank of Brooklyn, which helped flnannce the pay­ments.

Maurice B. Kutner, 333 DeMott of street, charged be was defrauded of $1,285.87; Donald DeHaven of 337 DeMott, of $3,161.08; and James P. Jones, 353 DeMott street,of $701.-80.

The other two ex-G. I. home buy­ers, John R. Wall, 349 DeMott street, and Everett V. Meadows, 341 DeMott street, had their entire transactions covered by bank mort­gages and had not made any large cash payments to the builders.

2 Fraud Charge* There are two fraud charges

specified in the indictment for each of the five veterans against Roreck and Schwartz. The fraud, according to the indictment, lies in the fact that the builders sold them homes no constructed according to plans and specifications listed with the village of Mineola.

All faults specified concern the basements and foundations of the homes.

They state that the foundations are made of "a completely insuffi­cient quantity of cement combined with ordinary loam, clay and dirt together with a completely insuffi­cient quantity and*type of an in­ferior material commonly known as bank in."

This, states the indictment, was used in the construction rather than the "poured concrete compos­ed of one part cement, three parts sand and five parts gravel or stone" which is called for in the specifi­cations.

Continuing, the indictment states that "the cement floors of the base­ments were in truth and in fact un­even in thickness," and in most places, two inches or less in thick-

nss." The required thickness of the floors was four inches.

The footmg of the pier and lally columns were less than the required 12 inches in thickness and made of poor and inferior quality and mix­ture of concrete, said the grand jury.

The foundations of the walls, they continue, were not water-proofed with tar and it was found "they were not constructed with footings 18 in­ches wide and 18 inches thick and in some places there were no footings whatsoever." <- »

That particular section of the in­dictment ends by saying that the builders were "not completed in a good and workmanlike manner."

RamagU is accused of one count of omission of duty and one count of execution of a false certificate In connection with each of the five homes.

The grand jury contended that Ramagli knew the buildings were erected of "improper and defective materials" and "omitted to require the removal and replacement of said defective and unsafe construction and materials, and did not refuse to issue a certificate of occupancy until said defects wre remedied."

The executnon of false certificates charge stems from the fact that the grand jury stated that he issued the certificates despite knowledge that the homes were not properly con­structed. ,

The grand jury handling up the indictments, forming the March panel, are remaining on oall to con­sider other complaints concerning veterans' housing throughout the county.
