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- cording to an unverified report in the Ilaint, Warsaw Yiddish daily. There have been a number of re- ports of Jewish colonization on Cyprus in the last two years.

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.
