A fight broke out here today between vendors of Fascist anti-Semitic newspapers and men selling Jewish newspapers. Ten of the combatants on both sides were slightly injured. The clash took place in the center of Paris on the Place Etoile.
Camelots du Roi, monarchist youth group attached to the Action Francaise, ant-Semitic organization, assaulted vendors of Jewish newspapers on the Boulevard St. Michel. Three of the monarchist youths were slightly injured.
Raids by the Camelots du Roi on the Jewish quarter in Paris have been frequent in the past. Each time Jewish youths have met them on their own terms and have beaten them back.
Once, however, the Camelots du Roi joined with Jewish young men to fight against German Nazis in Paris. The affair was of such an unusual nature that it attracted wide attention. The Camelots du Roi explained that they hated Germans worse than Jews. A few weeks later they were at their old tricks again once more attacking Jews on Parisian streets.
