The Student Union, Waffenring, comprising National Socialist and National students today called upon the Prussian government to remove Professor Ernst Cohn from the faculty of Breslau University, else it will take steps to prevent the Jewish professor from delivering his lectures.
Professor Cohn was attacked yesterday despite a police escort and his introductory lecture twice interrupted by demonstrations necessitating police intervention, because of Nazi objections to him as he is a Jew.
Professor Cohn informed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he had abandoned his lectures scheduled for today and Saturday in the interests of peace but that he is determined to resume them on Monday.
The press calls upon Federal Commissioner, Dr. Franz Bracht, not to yield to the threats of medieval intolerance, and to squash the Nazi terror.
