Windows in the British Embassy were smashed here today in a turbulent demonstration by youthful members of the Zionist Revisionist organization protesting against the action of the British administration in Palestine in ordering Aba Achimeier and Dr. M. Yevin, Palestine Revisionists, to show cause why they should not be deprived of their citizenship. Three demonstrators were arrested.

Crowds continued the protest, however, in the Jewish districts of the city after the arrests. A Revisionist delegation called upon Dr. Mazur, president of the Warsaw Jewish community, with the request that he arrange a meeting of the entire community to protest against the continued incarceration of Achimeier.

Achimeier, who was acquitted of complicity in the assassination of Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, is now serving a prison sentence for membership in an alleged terroristic organization. Yevin also is in prison in Palestine on a similar charge.
