The Government today nominated two Jews as members of Parliament. They are the editor, Rubinstein, and the war veteran, Goldberg.

The nominations confirmed the statement of Julius Caplikas, Minister of Interior, in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in which he disclaimed anti-Semitic aims on the part of the Government and said the Jews would receive at least two of the fifty seats in Parliament.
