RENEWED ANTI-JEWISH DISORDERS OCCURRED TODAY IN SEVERAL CITIES OF UPPER SILESIA, UNDER NAZI RULE SINCE JULY 15.

JEWISH SHOPS HERE WERE PAINTED WITH ANTI-SEMITIC INSCRIPTIONS, WHILE AT BEUTHEN, SCENE OF RIOTING AGAINST JEWS LAST WEEK, AND HINDENBURG CROWDS GATHERED BEFORE JEWISH SHOPS SHOUTING ANTI-JEWISH SLOGANS.

LOCAL NAZI OFFICIALS ASSERTED PARTY MEMBERS WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENTS AND ISSUED AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC TO HELP TRACE THOSE RESPONSIBLE.

AN OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE ON LAST WEEK’S DISTURBANCES AT BEUTHEN SAID THEY WERE PROVOKED BY ALLEGED ILLICIT RELATIONS WHICH A JEW, WHO HAS SINCE FLED, HAD HAD WITH A GERMAN CHILD.
