A bottle smelling of paraffin oil was today thrown into the Israeli Government office at Manchester Square here. Nobody was injured. Police immediately started an investigation.
Several persons were arrested here last night during a protest demonstration at Sir Oswald Mosley and his pro-fascist Union Movement. The demonstration occurred outside Kensington Town Hall where Mosley was addressing a political meeting.
During the course of the Mosleyite meeting several persons threw home-made year gas bombs filled with ammonia. Outside of the hall a large crowd of men and women were held in check by police reirforcements. Most of the demonstratora had been attracted by a ceremony at a nearby war memorial during which representatives of the Forty-Three Group, an organization of Jewish veterans which fights anti-Semitism, placed a wreath at the foot of the movement to Britain a war dead.
