The decision of the League of Nations that the rights of Jews in Upper Silesia should not be impaired by legislation of the German Government was disregarded today when thirty-five Jewish doctors and twenty Jewish dentists were suddenly dismissed from their positions with the sick benefit funds and municipal institutions in Gleiwitz, Beuthen and other Upper Silesian towns.

A delegation of Upper Silesian Jews, including Dr. Weissmann, of Gleiwitz and Dr. Zernick, of Beuthen, will proceed to Berlin to take up with the Ministry of the Interior the question of reinstating the dismissed men in their posts.
