The largest Jewish technical high school in Odessa, the “Yevrabmol,” which has 400 students and is supported by the Agro-Joint and the Ort, is in danger of being liquidated, according to a decision of the central Ukrainian school authorities.
They point out that the “Yevrabmol” is producing each year not less than 150 new qualified Jewish technicians who are placed in Odessa factories. Fearing that this will result in the entire Soviet industrial organization in the Odessa region being run by these Jewish graduates within a few years the school authorities demand that the “Yevrabmol” be converted into a Ukrainian technical institute.
The Jewish Communists in the Odessa region see in this the liquidation of the best Jewish technical school in Odessa which has been in existence for eleven years. The Odessa Jewish Communists are appealing to the higher authorities to intervene.
