Jews in Kattowice are hastily gathering their personal belongings and moving to the nearby mining district of Dobrowa to avoid seizure of their property by arriving Germans, Polish Government sources here reported today.

Newly-settled Germans in Upper Silesia, complaining of insufficient means, have looted large department stores owned by Jews and Poles in Kattowice, while Gestapo agents looked on without intervening, the report said.
