An influential pro-Government group headed by Vice-Premier Eugen Kwiatkowski and Communications Minister Juljusz Ulrych today mapped a strong anti-Semitic program. At a meeting here, the group adopted a resolution for the “systematic liquidation of Jewish influence” in the nation’s economic and cultural life. Action in this direction, the resolution said, would be pursued independently of the emigration problem which would be solved “by agreements with the colonial powers.”

More than 10,000 Jews and non-Jews participated in funeral services at Lwow for Samuel Prowaler, Jewish university student who was fatally stabbed in an anti-Semitic attack.

The entire rabbinate officiated. Among the eulogies was one by a non-Jewish woman named Chamistow, who bitterly charged that Polish youth was being misused for alien purposes that were disgracing Poland.
