Increasing pressure on Jews is reported in Paris, where a census of all Jews and apartments in which Jews dwell has been ordered by the Nazi occupation authorities.

The activity of anti-Semitic bodies, such as the “New Youth,” is being intensified, especially in the Jewish quarter. Jews are apprehensive about going out after dark because of numerous street incidents resulting from the activity of the anti-Semitic youth.

Ex-Deputy Salomon Grumbach and former Undersecretary of State Jules Moch were among four leaders of Leon Blum’s former Popular Front who were placed under “Administrative detention” yesterday at the village of Pellevoisin.

By order of the Seine tribunal, the entire property in unoccupied France of five Rothschilds has been placed under sequester. Those affected are Baron Maurice, Baron Edouard, Baron Philippe, Dr. Henri and Baron Robert de Rothschild . Managers were appointed for the property as follows : M. Fernand, for Baron Maurice’s holdings; M. Moslin, for Baron Edouard’s and Charles Gervais for the others.
