The Dudzinski bill for complete prohibition of kosher slaughtering, now under partial proscription, advanced in Parliament today when it was turned over to a commission for consideration on Monday. The bill is expected to reach the floor for discussion this week.

Several Jewish students in the medical school of Lwow University were badly beaten for refusing to occupy “ghetto benches” officially assigned to them. The Nationalist newspaper, A.B.C., reports that anti-Semitic pickets attacked Jewish traders in the town of Suraz, in the Bialystok district, seized and burned their goods. Several pickets were arrested.

The Endek (Nationalist) Party has been put under official ban in Wilno Province for an article in its organ attacking the late Marshal Josef Pilsudski. Three party leaders have been committed to the Government concentration camp at Kartuz-Bereza and proceedings have been instituted against two others.
