Memorial services for the victims of the 1929 anti-Jewish riots, were conducted on Mount Scopus yesterday on the sixth anniversary of the Arab outbreaks in the Holy Land.

Eulogies were rendered by Rabbi Aaronson of New Britain, Conn. and M. Broza, an aged eye-witness who himself experienced the attacks in Motza. All roads leading to the cemetery were heavily policed.
