The Jewish population of Poland was considerably stirred today following a radio broadcast attacking Shechitah, the Jewish method of slaughtering animals. The broadcast was made by Tadeusz Nieszalowski, a member of the staff of the Gazetta Polska, official organ of the Polish government.

Since radio broadcasting here is controlled by the government, the talk was taken as an indication that the government approves of the current campaign against the Jewish slaughtering ritual.

It was understood here today that the radio authorities at first were unwilling to permit the broadcast, but their objections were overruled. Embarrassed by the protests which the radio address has provoked, the authorities are now anxious to hush up the entire matter.
