A Jewish postal official, Mark Hartmann, was killed last night in an attack by National Democrats on Koernica-strasse.

Hartmann, who was forty-three years old, was mercilessly beaten up and left unconscious in the street. A physician who examined the body ascribed death to a heart attack.

Jewish students returning to Grodzisk from Warsaw after evening classes, were attacked on the train by their colleagues, shouting revenge for the death of the Lemberg student. Two of the assailants were arrested.

Excesses were also reported in Janowka and Storkrzwska, suburbs of Lemberg, where a Jew, Moishe Morgenstern, was robbed and seriously injured.

The pro-government papers in Lemberg and Warsaw sharply condemn the anti-Jewish disturbances and accuse the National Democrats of making political capital from the death of Jan Grotowski.

The Community Synagogue of Los Angeles, Cal., founded over two years ago by Rabbi Mayer Winkler, on the principle of free pulpit and free pew, entered its third year of service in its new location which is adequately equipped with all facilities for educational, spiritual, and social purposes.
