WACO
Rome (WNS)—Failure to regist-
er as members of the Jewish race
brought sentences of five days’
imprisonment and fines of 100
lire to a number of Jews, in-
cluding some foreigners, who
were arrested in Milan this week.
It had not been entirely clear up
to now whether foreign Jews
would be subject to the regula-
tions on registration. This was the
third group of Jews to be sent-
enced under the Fascist law en-
acted last September. It is re-
ported that at least one hundred
are awaiting trial, some of whom
were arrested for employing
“aryan" maid servants. Although
the law allows employment of
“aryans” under “special circum-
stances,” many who had applied
for special permits were arrested.
Foreign Jews were ordered to
vacate Albania by mid-Septemb-
er, according to reliable informa-
tion which reported that anti-
Semitic demands in the Italian
press in Albania appeared a short
time before the expulsion order
was issued.
Plans are rapidly being carried
into effect for the oncoming 11th
Annual Regional Convention of
Young Judaea to be held in
Waco on September 3rd and 4th.
The sponsoring Waco Judaeans
promise the finest convention in
the history of the Texas Region.
The two-day conclave will be
highlighted by a cultural pro-
gram, several business sessions,
two dances, a picnic luncheon, an
executive luncheon, and a banquet
The cultural meeting, considered
by many Texas Jewish leaders as
the outstanding event of its kind
held in the state each year, will
feature Hebrew and English dec-
lamation, and competition be-
tween various city Palestinian
song choruses. The athletic events
will take place at the Rena Marrs
McLean Gymnasium, new $200,-
000 physical education plant of
Baylor University. The picnic
luncheon will be held in Waco’s
beautiful Cameron Park, while
the banquet will be staged at the
Waco High School Assembly Hall.
The meet will be the first con-
vention of the second decade of
Young Judaea in Texas which
makes this years’ site especially
significant as the first and the
original convention of the last
decade was also held in Waco.
The cooperation of all Zionists
and Young Judaean groups and
the attendance of all Judaeans is
earnestly solicited and urged in
order to make the next gathering
the most successful in Young
Judaea’s history.
