Twenty leading Jugoslavian Jews, representatives of the Jewish community and the Rabbinate, were honored by the government on the occasion of the St. Sava holidays which began January 28. The White Eagle Order and the St. Sava Order were conferred upon them.

All Jews employed in government posts are to be relieved from service for Passover, according to an order by the Premier. The order also applies for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

The King Alexander scholarship was granted by the Zagreb University Senate to two Jewish scholars. The winners of the scholarship are Albert Weiss and Slaviko Weiss. Both are members of the Zionist student society, Judea.
