Several anti-Semitic Lithuanian youths were under arrest today as a result of the attack made yesterday on Zionist youths in the town of Siauliai. The anti-Semites demolished the local Hechalutz office and, in the clash that followed, injured six Chalutzim, Zionist youths training for work in Palestine.

The pretext for the attack was a beating the young Jews were alleged to have administered to a Lithuanian druggist. Order was quickly restored by police.
