Baltimore 'JTA) — The Dianiondback, the student newspaper of the University of Maryland, denied this week that any motive of anti-Semitism was involved in a recent incident in which an instructor in a German class scheduled an examination for the first day of FSosh Hashanah.

In an editorial commenting on protests arising from the paper's report on the incident, "from people who read allegations of rampant anti-Semitism Into our p r e v i o u s editorial," the Diamondbaclc announced t h a t it had "conducted nn investigation of the problems of the Jewi»li stucJent on this campus" and thai it had found "no trace of

Misunderstanding Referring to the incident involving the German instructor, the editorial said that it was a mixup "subject to m i s u n d e rstanuing" and added: "We are convinced that neither the department nor the teacher acted intolerantly, but the action and words of both were misinterpreted." The paper cited the university administration p o l i c y which provides that all absences for religious reasons be excused and takes that stand that no examinations be given on religious holidays. It noted that calendars are supplied to all departments and rellpiou.'S holidays are iJt'n-i orally taken into) coiniderutiou.
Hillcl Director In another statement, Rabbi Meyer Greenberg, Hillel director at the university, said that the original report on the incident giving rise to charges of anti-Semitism was due to "a misunderstanding by the editorial writer" of the Diamondback.

Second Attach on Conn. Synagogue Bridgeport (JTA)—An unidentified man who tossed two Molotov cocktail bombs at the Bikur Cholim synagogue here was the object of a p o l i c e hunt this week. At the same time, police in nearby Trumbull reported that the word "Jew" had been painted on the walls of two homes there during the past weekend. An investigation is underway. The bombing i n c i d e n t , in which one of the missiles exploded, was the second attack on the synagogue this month. On October 7, the building was broken into and a swastika was carved in the altar and five Torah Scrolls slashed. A member of the congregation who was assigned to guard the building since the break-in put out the flames of the bomb. The second bottle hit the building but did not explode. After the October 7 vandalism, the 150-member congregation received expressions of sympathy and contributions from local Catholic and Protestant churches.
