Two Jews, one of them a woman, were murdered yesterday in Rabka, a suburb of Cracow, it was reported today in the Polish press. The police are conducting a search for the murderers.

The report says that the murderers were dressed in uniforms of Gen. Wladislaw Anders’ army, the members of which are conducting underground warfare against the present regime. Armed with sub-machine guns, they entered the home of Julian Cyns and Zygmont Kozik and demanded their identification papers, declaring that they were looking for Jews. The two Jews made an attempt to flee the house, whereupon the Poles opened fire and killed Kozik and a sister of Cyns who happened to be in the house. The murderers escaped leaving no traces.
