A raid by Communists on a meeting of a Zionist Chalutzim organization that was being held yesterday in Falenica, a resort near Warsaw, resulted in the wounding of six Zionists and two Communists. The Communists suddenly descended on the meeting and began to beat those present. The Zionists resisted them and in the melee several were seriously injured.
Among the Zionists who received serious injuries are: Abraham Naparstek, Chaim Traub. Fania Siedlecka, Hella Miller, Sala Kaufman and Abraham Pinczuk. Communists in Poland have raided Zionist meetings several times before, causing disturbances, and severe injuries to many persons.
