Nationalist students yesterday bombed a room of the Jewish Students’ Union at the Polytechnic Institute, smashing all the windows and partly destroying the furniture. There were no casualties. Another group of Nationalists later attacked Jewish students in the school’s drawing room, beating up many and destroying their drawings.

A national conference of the Union of Civil Servants rejected a proposal that it adopt the “Aryan paragraph” excluding Jewish members. At the same time, a conference of Polish tailors adopted a resolution demanding regulations whose effect would be to oust Jews from the trade.

The authorities yesterday confiscated a joint appeal by many Jewish organizations protesting against “physical and moral terrorism,” the policy of exterminating the Jews and the bills for a complete ban on kosher slaughtering. The appeal was signed by Zionist parties, the Agudath Israel, the Jewish Peoples Party and economic organizations. It stressed the Jews’ determination not to give up the fight for equality of rights.
