Parliamentary commissions today began consideration of amendments to the Government’s drastic anti-Jewish bill. Government quarters said any modifications made would not change the general aspect of the measure.
The discussions were expected to concentrate on proposals to (1) Change the definition of “Jew” to exempt Christian children of mixed marriages; (2) extend the war veteran exemption to all Jews possessing the Bronze Medal of Merit; (3) allow the Jews to decide for themselves whether they wish to avail themselves of the restricted franchise provided in the bill.
