The Palestine delegation to the Youth Festival in Czechsolovakia today returned to Prague from a tour of Slovakia, reporting that the anti-Semitic atmosphere there is “easily discernible.” The delegation was stoned in one place, one of the members revealed.

Leaders of the Jewish Community Council here have received threatening and insulting letters from representatives of the Irgun Zvai Leumi, in which the Irgunists defend the hanging in July of two British sergeants and attack the Jewish leaders for condemning the murders.
