Warning Issued by Premier
Skladkowski in Pledge
for Peace
WAR ON BLACKSHIRTS
BY ENGLAND'S CHURCH
WARSAW (WNS)—All classes
in Polish universities may be sus-
pended indefinitely unless anti-
Jewish student riots end immed-
iately, Premier Skladkowski
warned in a statement pledging
his government to crush the dis-
turbances at all costs. His pro-
nouncement came in the wake of
a protracted battle between anti-
Semitic students and police in the
University of Warsaw where tear
gas, smoke and stink bombs and
clubs were freely used. Classes
have already been suspended in
the Warsaw University where re-
newed rioting broke out in de-
fiance of a warning by the minis-
ter of education. The anti-Sem-
ites assaulted Jews with knives
and sticks, smashed furniture in
half a dozen class rooms and de-
troyed the office of the rector in
revenge for his order suspending
classes. Barricading themselves
on the upper floors of the univer-
sity, they broke water pipes,
tossed lighted candles through the
windows and held the rector as a
hostage. It required two battal-
ions of steel-helmeted police
armed with tear gas to rout the
students and rescue the rector.
Scores of anti-Semites have been
arrested. Seven Jewish students
were critically hurt.
Belatedly aroused to the ser-
iousness of the anti-Semitic stu-
dent riots in the Polish univer-
sities, the minister of education
issued a statement here in which
he warned that all universities
might be closed unless the dis-
orders were ended. The minis-
ter's statement appealed to pro-
fessors and students alike to do
all in their power to discourage
rioting. His statement coincided
with a new attack on Jewish stu-
dents in the law school of the
university of Warsaw and a raid
on the Jewish Students Club.
Poland will ask the League of
Nations to recommend to Great
Britain that she permit the settle-
ment of 200,000 Polish Jews on
the British-owned Island of Cy-
prus in the Mediterranean. ac-

STOCKHOLD (WNS) — Prof.
Otto Loewi of the University of
Graz, Austria, will share the Nobel
Prize in medicine for 1936 with
Sir Henry Hallett Dale, director

thus an important celebration with a practical aim in

Education Month is now coming to a close, but the
cause of Jewish learning will continue to be championed
uninterruptedly by Jewish men and women who realize
the importance of a Jewish education for every Jewish

Interfactional differences over
the appointment rose to a new
high pitch with opponents of Dr.
Rokach uniting in a demand that
he refuse to accept the Post on
the ground that Sir Arthur's In-
tervention constitutes a violation
of this city's autonomy.
The Labor bloc in the Tel Aviv
Municipal Council has issued a
manifesto characterizing the ap-
pointment of Dr. Israel Rokach
as Mayor of Tel Aviv in opposi-
tion to a majority derision of the
Municipal Council as a violation
of Tel Aviv's muncipal autonomy.
The Laborites announce that they
will oppose Dr. Rokach until he
resigns. The Palestine Union of
General Zionists issued a state-
ment calling upon Dr. Ro-
kach to accept the nomination but
to endeavor to expedite the hold-
ing of new municipal elections.
