Four Jews were arrested here today for allegedly having in their possession a suitcase filled with home-made bombs and bottles of explosive liquids. Previously they were caught distributing pamphlets attacking some of the delegates attending the Conference of European Zionist Federations which is being held here.

A report published in the Prague “Rude Pravo” said the four were members of the Irgun Zvai Leumi, but there was no confirmation of this from any other source.

During today’s sessions at the parley, which dealt chiefly with reports on Zionist problems in various European countries, the delegate from Hungary was interrupted by remarks from the audience when he said his government did not “place any obstacles in the way of Zionist activities.” He claimed that all opposition came from “Jewish careerists.”

Stressing the financial difficulties of his organization, one of the delegates from Switzerland recommended that Zionist fund-raising programs be unified. A French delegate expressed his thanks to the French Government and people for their support of Zionism.
