The Prime Minister, Professor Jorga, has ordered that the Hebrew High School of the Tarbuth Organisation at Soroca, which was closed down after the Soroca shooting affair, on the charge that the school was being used as a nest of Communist propaganda, is to remain closed, the J.T.A. representative here learns.
The Premier’s decision, taken on the basis of a report presented by Inspector Sherban, of the Ministry of Education, who was sent to Soroca to enquire into the matter is considered surprising because the Minister for Bessarabia, M. Cristi, declared only a few days ago that he was urging the reopening of the school, and was certain that it would be reopened in a few days.
The Presidium of the Zionist Organisation of Roumania is making strong representations against the closing of the school, contending that there is no justification for the charge, and Deputy Dr. Lupu has also promised to raise the question with the Ministry of Education.
