Anti-Jewish disturbances occurred yesterday when Iron Guardists attacked a Jewish house after services held at the grave of the unknown soldier.

Led by the Archbishop, the Iron Guardists attacked and demolished the home of a Jew, named Aronovitch, situated near the Nicolae Domnesc Church.

The home of Aronovitch was demolished last year under similar circumstances by anti-Semites, on the ground that a Jewish residence in the vicinity of the church is desecration.

Gendarmes who attempted to intervene were overpowered by the anti-Semites.

Iron Guardist mass meetings took place yesterday in Czernowitz, Kishinev and Clausenberg, but passed without incident. In Braila a fight with vorkers ensued, but Jews were not injured.

In Bucharest, a march to the grave of the unknown soldier took place without incident after the authorities permitted the Iron Guardists to place a wreath, in the form of a cross, upon the grave.
