Edward Doran, formerly known as anti-Semitic, today promised to demand on the floor of the House of Commons that the British Government investigate the reported killing by Nazis at Ratibor, Silesia, of a Polish-Jewish football player before permitting a scheduled Anglo-German football match at Tottenham.

The proposed game, scheduled for December 4, has been the target of many protests by individuals and organizations. The expected presence of 4,000 Nazi rooters is pointed out as a potential source of serious disturbances.
