More than 20 Jews were injured and more than 1,500 windows of houses broken during yesterday’s riot in the town of Sokolow-Podlaski. The disorders continued for four hours before police succeeded in dispersing several hundred Nationalists.

A delegation of Jewish leaders left for Warsaw to seek protection for the town’s Jewish population. The riot was inspired by Nationalist agitators.

A Jew, Gershon Tauber, and his wife were murdered yesterday in the town of Sniatym near the Rumanian frontier. Police, blaming Nationalists, said robbery was the motive.
