French-speaking students at the University of Montreal decided yesterday by an overwhelming majority not to join in a strike against admission of Jewish students to the university.
At the same time it became known that university authorities had refused admission to thirty alien students on the ground that preference must be given to French Canadian students.
The strike agitation, it was learned. has been fostered by anti-Semitic cliques in the province.
