Scotland Yard this morning launched an investigation of a mysterious raid on the Jewish Agency offices here last night. It is suspected that members of a British fascist group were involved.
A building watchman coming on duty just before midnight saw a light in one office and hurried to it. As he approached at least one person fled. He found that all the offices except two had been broken into and all drawers and safes in the rooms opened and their contents scattered on the floor. In response to his call 15 Scotland Yard men sped to the building where an exhaustive search revealed that neither cash nor documents were missing. In one office unexplained fresh blood stains were discovered.
