Troops were called upon today to check anti-Jewish excesses that broke out in the town of Naumiestis near the German frontier, after Nazi agents had spread a rumor that Jews had killed a Lithuanian. Jewish shops were wrecked and a number of Jews were severely beaten before order was restored. A number of persons, mostly Germans, were arrested. The Interior Ministry has ordered a strict investigation.
