Police investigation into the activities of eighteen members of the staff of the Warsaw Jewish Hospital who were arrested Sunday in connection with Communist literature found secreted behind waiting room pictures in the hospital, continued yesterday. Several have been released.
The arrested persons who include three professors, four physicians and eleven employees of the hospital, denied having Communist leanings. They asserted that the literature was placed in the waiting room of the institution by some visitors who obviously intended to “frame” them.
The Jewish community in Warsaw continues to be seriously concerned over the affair. Included among the eighteen are outstanding scientists and men prominent in community life.
