Death sentence for the guilty in the attack Sunday afternoon on the Jewish settlers in Strugovo-Bude, region of Klynezy, Ukraine, where a Jewish woman was killed, was urged at a meeting of peasants of the village called by the Regional Soviet and addressed by its representatives.
Besides the direct participators, a number of leaders of the village Soviet, the Communist Party and the local cooperative, will be tried for indifference during the atack. Among those to be tried is the president of the village Soviet, Andrei Sopotski, who, as established, refused to save Madam Zlata Bychowski from the hand of her murderer, Shkapa, although he could have done so.
