Acts of terrorism against the Jews which began with an attack upon a meeting of the Palestine Foundation Fund occurred last night in Temesvar, Roumania, according to telephoned information received by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency here.
Roumanian students, according to the report, entered the meeting hall where two Vienna Zionists, Dr. Samuel Gelber and Rabbi Drechsler, were scheduled to speak, and ejected the audience.
Acts of terrorism were perpetrated in the streets. The structure of the Jewish Community itself was taken over by the students who held an anti-Semitic meeting there.
The police, according to the report, looked on passively as the disturbances took place. The reason given for the attack is that the meeting speakers did not use the Roumanian language.
