Thirty Endeks were under arrest today following an anti-Semitic demonstration Wednesday in the principal streets of Warsaw during which several Jews were beaten.
Following the prosecutor’s plea for a heavy sentence because “such acts besmirch the good name of Poland,” a criminal court sentenced an Endek to three years’ imprisonment and six years’ loss of civil rights for assaulting a Jewess near the town of Minsk Mazoviec.
Six young Nationalist peasants were under arrest in Wysokie Mazowiecki, a town between Bialystok and Warsaw, for participation in disorders in which more than 50 Jews were injured and considerable property damaged.
An official report on the rioting from the Bialystok authorities described them as the most serious disturbances in some time, declaring that they broke out simultaneously in several quarters.
