Poland' Continued From First Page ers was the center of the attack by the rioters. Telephone reports from Kieke city officials said scores of jews bar ricaded themselves inside the head quarters building and fought off the attackers. The roving bands also attacked Jewish apartment houses and homes and Jews riding In public conveyances within the city.

Grocz said the attacks were organized by "Fascist elements," probably members of the illegal underground NSZ (national armed forces.) It was learned that the Polish press had been forbidden to print reports of the rioting because offl cials feared news of the attacks might lead to similar incidents in other cities. Grocz said the violence was a "lamentable aftermath" of Sunday's referendum and started after circulation of the age-old falsehood that Jews had murdered Polish babies. Kielce has a population of more than 50.000, including about 800 Jews. Minister of Security Stanislaw Radkiewicz announced that at least 160 persons were killedin violence preceding and during the referee dum, Poland's first free balloting in 11 years. In the same period, he said, there were 250 attacks on polling commissions and 70 assaults against politicians and officials.

Favor One-House Parliament WARSAW. July 4 UP) The gov ernment announced today that a compilation of nearly one-quarter of the votes cast in Sunday's ref erendum showed a heavy majority in favor of all three questions, with a three-to-one count favoring a one-House parliament, the most controversial issue. Returns from rural districts which might change the count have not yet been reported. The other questions In the refer endum asked whether voters approved Poland's western boundaries, and the government's nationalization acts. (The referendum question did not mention the eastern frontier, where Poland lost territory to Russia.

The western boundary was expanded at Germany's expense.) GESTAPO CHIEF HANGED VIENNA, July 4 (INS) Peter Hain. former chief of the Hungarian Gestapo, was hanged today In Budapest. He had to be carried to the gallows on a stretcher. The Hungarian News Agency reported the hanging which, it said, had been delayed a week when Hain pre- LABORERS CAMPS West Street had a 12-inch line the were mostly 10-inch lines. Engineer Makes Survey Clark Gardner, consulting engineer of Salisbury, has surveyed the situation and has recommended the installation of a 15-inch line to be extended from West Street, out Seventh to Elm, north on Elm to Sixth, and west on Sixth to the junction with Townsend Street, and frcm thence to the river via private roadway.

The mavor and council approved the plan, and instructed Mr. Gard- ner to prepare the necessary specifications, after which bids will be authorized and the installation completed as soon as practicable. The board also heard the first reading of an ordinance, which if put into operation, would permit the mayor and council to bond the town for a maximum of 25 per cent of the assessed valuation of the town, whereas the present town charter permits bonding of only 10 per cent of the assessed valuation. The present assessed valuation is slightly more than $2300,000, which allows a maximum bonding or about $230,000. The new ordinance, if adopted will increase this amount to $575,000.

The ordinance will call for a referendum on the matter, and If this is approved by a majority of the taxpayers, the next session of the State Legislature will be asked to revise Laurels charter, so that the larger amount will be lawful. If the charter is changed, taxpayers will again have the opportunity to vote on any proposed bond issue, which the mayor and council might propose before such bond issue be floated. New Parking Regulation At this meeting of council, parking on one side of the street only was authorized on Fifth Street and Delaware Avenue, in addition to the other streets already following this plan. This plan is designed to speed up the movement of traffic and to eliminate several battle-necks in the business section of town. An ordinance was also passed to cover violations of motorists re garding the traffic lights and stop signal on various streets in Laurel.

The ordinance will permit a magi strate to impose a fine of five dol lars and costs on any violators ar rested by the town police force. The Laurel Fire Department was summoned to St. Philip's Episcopal Church Monday afternoon to a chimney fire. The blaze was quickly checked with no loss reported. The first softball games to be played under lights will be held tomorrow evening, when tne Lsion and Lions Club clash, and the fire men meet Centenary Church.

Citing figures compiled by the Delaware State Board of Agriculture, W. C. Skoglund, extension poultryman, reports that in 1943, 772 flocks were tested for the disease with 470,740 birds In the pullorum clean rating-! Ten years ago only 296 flocks were tested with 2,457 Birds pullorum clean. Skoglund says these figures indicate that Delaware poultrymen are realizing the opportunity available in the production of hatching eggs locally for the state's broiler production. Pullorum disease is highly contagious and fatal in chicks under three weeks of age; while mature birds may have the disease, it is less contagious and less fatal than among chicks.

Estimates of the extent of reduced egg production, however, vary from 25 to 50 per cent. By blood testing the breeding flock and removing all infected adults, hatching from Infected eggs Is prevented. Poultrymen again this year are submitting applications to the State Board of Agriculture for state board field men to test their flocks.
