The Rector of Vienna University, Dr. Maresch, has promised the Nazi students who have been indulging in anti-Jewish excesses at the University that the Student Rights Law will very soon be passed into law by Parliament.
A Jewish shopkeeper named Nathan Asriel has been arrested for injuring a Nazi student in the fighting in the Judengasse yesterday, when the Jewish shopkeepers beat back the crowds of Nazis who had invaded the district, thinking to pillage the Jewish shops.
Big bodies of police are now patrolling the neighbourhood.
The Student Rights Bill was given its first reading in Parliament on April 29th., and was referred to the Educational Committee for detailed consideration. The second reading was to have been taken in the middle of May, but the Government resigned meanwhile. The author of the bill, Mr. Czernach, is no longer Minister of Education, and it was believed that his successor, Dr. Rintele, would drop the bill.
