spoke with numerous victims as well
as with Jewish representatives and
with Colonel Wade of the British mis-

There is abundant circumstant;al
evidence proving" his report con-
tinues. that the pogrom was or
ganized by the local military authori-
ties who supplied machine guns, hand
grenades. automobiles and motor lor-
ries. There are sworn protocols of
500 cases in which officer patrols took
part and 1000 cases in which ordi-
nary soldiers took part. The names
are known of Il officers and ~ SOL
