The decision of the League of Nations that the rights of Jews in Upper Silesia should not be impaired by legislation of the German Government was disregarded today when thirty-five Jewish doctors and twenty Jewish dentists were suddenly dismissed from their positions with the sick benefit funds and municipal institutions in Gleiwitz, Beuthen and other Upper Silesian towns.
