Two Jews were killed and four seriously injured as violence flared anew today in the town of Przytyk, district of Radom. Scores were beaten and wounded and the 700 Jewish families of the town were thrown into panic.
Police detachments rushed into the district restored order after the rioting had been in progress several hours. Emergency stations organized by Radom physicians administered first aid to victims of the disorders.
Tonight the Radom Jewish Community sent a fleet of motor cars to the scene of the rioting to transfer the wounded to the Jewish Hospital in Radom.
The two killed were Pesach Minkowski and his wife. Their son, Gabriel, 16 years old, was among those seriously injured.
The renewal of disorders came after the authorities, fearing rioting, had on Jan. 28 suspended the holding of market days for four weeks. The action was taken as a result of a campaign to boycott Jews conducted by the anti-Semitic National Democratic (Endek) Party, marked by picketing of Jewish shops to prevent peasants from entering.
The Jewish Small Traders Union of the town complained that the police would not interfere with Endek activities and that the governor of the district was taking no action. Anti-Jewish demonstrations in the town have been the subject of a number of interpellations in Parliament.
