“The cause of the outbursts,” The Daily Express States, “is believed to be the rumor in Leningrad that the assassination of Kirov emanated largely from the Jewish Communists, though the murderer is a Russian. Forty per cent of those arrested in the recent alleged uprising of the Zinoviev-Trotsky group are Jews,” The Daily Express adds.
