Religious circles here reported today that Senator Moses Schorr, former Chief Rabbi of Warsaw, has been sentenced by the Soviet authorities in Lwow to nine years’ imprisonment. (Earlier dispatches from Wilno and Paris said that Rabbi Schorr had been released from arrest by the Soviet authorities.) The same circles reported receipt of a telegram from Senator Jacob Trockenheim saying he was in Bialystok, Russian Poland.
