A resolution to exclude Jews from the Military Recruiting Commission was adopted yesterday at a session of the Municipal Council in Lodz, which is dominated by the anti-Semitic National Democratic Party.

This resolution resulted in a free-for-all fight when the Jewish members of the Municipal Council read their protest. The National Democratic members at the session drew revolvers threatening to shoot the Jewish councillors. The session was broken up amidst tumult. The Jewish councillors are contemplating legal action against the anti-Semitic National Democratic faction.

BOMBING NEAR WARSAW

A bomb exploded today near Jewish homes in the suburb of Wawer, near Warsaw, where the anti-Semitic Nara Party has its illegal headquarters. No damage was reported.

Anti-Semitic youths attacked today the Maccabi swimming grounds in Warsaw, discharging revolvers. No one was injured. A few days ago a bomb planted by anti-Semitic youths exploded in the same premises. Police are investigating the incidents.

Abraham Wilenski, who accidentally shot and killed a Jewish worker, Jacob Mandlaufer, last October in the Jewish Club Hapoel, was sentenced yesterday to one year in prison.
