Chronicle Special Reporter
Although , Christian
evangelising efforts are
continuing in Columbus, Key
'73 has not singled out
Columbus Jews for con¬
version attempts, according
to Hersh Adlerstein, regional
director for the A.D.L. in
Ohio'and Kentucky.
"In my opinion," Adler¬
stein said, "Key '73 remains
a barrier between Christians
and Jews, and to the extent
that Key '73 has been func¬
tioning   throughout    the
[country, there lias -been an
>exacerbation ,of tensions
'between: .Christians   and
Jews. But in Columbus, Key
'73 has not made a concerted
effort to proselytize Jews,
and they have, indeed, in
some parts, gone out of their
way     to     avoid      any
proselytizing of Jews."
