Jewish students were beaten and ejected from classrooms in disorders at the Warsaw Technical College today. Order was restored by the police.
Anti-Jewish attacks resulted yesterday in indefinite suspension of lectures at the Wawelberg Engineering School, which was founded forty years ago by two Jewish philanthropists. Four Jewish students were wounded, one of them seriously, in the attacks launched by Nationalist students over refusal of Jews to occupy “ghetto benches” officially assigned them.
Sporadic attacks and window-smashings occurred last night in the neighborhood of Marszalkowska Street, Warsaw principal shopping thoroughfare.
Meanwhile, M. Jaruszewic, Government Commissar for Warsaw, asserted at a press conference that the authorities had evidence that certain traders were hiring thugs to plunder the shops of Jewish competitors. The authorities will not tolerate street demonstrations and will not permit recruiting of youth for the purpose, Jaruszewic said.
