Fifty-five hoodlums charged with participating in the Przytyk pogrom of March 10, in which three Jews were killed and more than a score wounded, will go on trial early next month in Radom, it was announced today.

Also to stand trial will be a number of Jews who are charged with using revolvers during the disorders.

It is expected that 100 witnesses will be called to testify at the trial. A dozen Endek (Nationalist) lawyers have been retained to defend the hoodlums.

Presence of Jews among the accused is believed here to indicate that the authorities hold the Przytyk Jews to be equally responsible with the non-Jews for the pogrom.
