Three new anti-Jewish bills will be introduced at the extraordinary Parliament session opening June 10, the National Radical organ, ABC, reported today. They will cover revision of citizenship, forbid changes in names and provide for non-recognition of diplomas from foreign universities. According to the procedure of the Sejm (chamber of deputies) the bills cannot be read before the next ordinary session.
