Anti-Jewish slogans appeared last night on walls in the city of Leicester. Police immediately obliterated the scrawls and began a search for the hoodlums who painted the signs on walls all over the city.

Recently Victor Rothschild, member of the banking family of that name and heir to the baronetcy, was ordered out of a London roadhouse after it was ascertained that he was Jewish. Both incidents are regarded as isolated anti-Semitic occurrences.
