The public prosecutor today filed a motion for an increase in the prison terms meted out to eleven Jews on June 25 on charges arising from disorders in the town of Przytyk last March in which two Jews and a peasant were killed and scores of Jews injured.

He asked that Sholem Lesko be given ten instead of eight years for the slaying of Stanislaw Wiesniak, a peasant. He also asked that the sentence of Isaak Frydman be raised from five to seven years.
