A raid was made by the police yesterday morning on the home of M. Tazladanu, chief secretary in the office of the Minister of the Interior, Alexander Vayda Voevod. The search, which lasted for several hours, was made on the order of Premier Maniu. Documents were sought to establish Tazladanu’s connection with the anti-Semitic agitator, M. Zelea Codreanu, whom M. Tazladanu has been accused of having aided in organizing the recent outbreaks.
Following the search, police took M. Tazladanu to the jail where M. Codreanu is imprisoned because of his leadership of anti-Semitic propaganda, and they were both cross-examined regarding the source of the funds which they had obtained for their activities. M. Tazladanu was later released, but was ordered to appear before the public prosecutor to morrow morning.
M. Vayda Voevod, speaking to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent, explained that he knew that M. Tazladanu was an outspoken anti-Semite who was closely connected with anti-Semitic organizations, but he had nevertheless invited him to act as chief of his Ministry Office, as he believed that in that way the government would be able to pacify the anti-Semitic organizations and also to learn through M. Tazladanu the inside details of their plans.
HOME BEING WATCHED
M. Tazladanu’s home is now under police observation and he will continue under surveillance until the public prosecutor decides what action to take.
M. Codreanu who was arrested last week, today demanded his release until the date of his trial, while being questioned by the State’s attorney. His demand was refused and the prosecuting attorney announced that he would not be released before the trial.
JEWS PANIC-STRICKEN
The Jews of Uriev, Bessarabia, are in a state of panic in connection with the murder of Sholom Landau, which occurred on Friday. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent, speaking over the telephone with the Jewish leaders of Uriev, was informed that the Jews are fearful of further developments in what appears to be a definitely planned anti-Semitic campaign. All stores owned by Jews are remaining closed and Jews are keeping off the streets in the bazaar section.
