An attack has been made on a Jewish school in Kielce by a group of tourist bandits, it was reported here today by Dziennik Powszechny, organ of the Catholic Church.

As a result of an appeal to the Bishop of Kielce by a delegation of leading members of the Jewish community, the Bishop has ordered all priests in the city to include in their sermons a proclamation urging freedom of worship and a condemnation of anti-Semitism as being contradictory to the teachings of the Christian faith.

Meetings protesting the complete stoppage of immigration into Palestine have been held in Warsaw, Lodz, Gliwice, and other cities in Poland. The demonstrations were arranged by the Ichud Party, a union of all Zionist organizations in the country. In Gliwice, where over 1,000 Jews attended the meeting, protest resolutions were adopted following speeches by a number of prominent Jewish leaders.
