A num- ber. of Jewish spectators attempted to intervene. They were at- tacked by a gang who shouted anti-Jewish slogans. The match broke up when the players began to take part in the melee. Knives were wielded but no one was wounded serious- ly. A military police squad restored order. • During the fight, many Russian soldiers who were among the spectators helped the Jews. Earlier Hakoah matches resulted in minor difficulties, but this was the first serious outbreak. At a mass meeting of 600 Jews protesting the attacks David Brill, president of the Vienna Jewish community council, asserted that if such anti-Semitic excesses could occur while Allied troops were still in Vienna, the situation would become more explosive when the Allies withdrew. He charged that the Austrian Gov- ernment was responsible for conditions in this city. UNRRA Chief in Germany to Ask AMG Halt DP Camp Evacuations RABBI A. S.
