Jewish students today were again forcibly ejected from Warsaw University by anti-Semitic Nationalist students and several were severely beaten. The Nationalists picketed the main entrance of the university, barring a number of Jewish instructors. Deputy Isaac Sommerstein has interpellated the Prime Minister, the Interior Minister and the Education Minister on the continuing student anti-Semitic disorders in the various Polish universities. He cited particularly the fatal stabbing of Karol Zellmeier, a Jewish student, at Lwow University and the current attacks on Jews at Warsaw University.
