COMMUNISTS IN EGYPT
NUMBER IMPRISONED
MORE INSTRUCTIONS FROM MOSCOW
Cairo, January 19.
Of eighteen Communists arrested in June, following police observations of their activities, three, Weiss, Pollak, and Antonin, were sentenced to three vears’ imprisonment, and four to imprisonment varying from a year to six months. Others, including a woman, Rosenthal, were acquitted. The case was heard in camera.
It is alleged that Weiss’s real name is Kossoy, and that he received instructions from Moscow, and had been active in Palestine and Egypt. A letter from Moscow intercepted complained that little headway was being made among the Fellaheen. —Reuter.
