SUICIDE BY POISON
WARSAW JEWISH LEADER NAZI CALL FOR VICTIMS (9.30) LONDON, Aug. 16. M. Czarniakov, Mayor of the notorious Jewish ghetto in Warsaw, committed suicide with poison which he always carried, ready to die if the Germans ever demanded the impossible from him. The Germans ordered him to prepare a list of 100,000 for deportation from the ghetto to a destination in the east. M. Czarniakov knew .the deportees would probably be massacred. There had been mass executions of the Jews who had been deported from other .Polish towns. Near Zwlodzimerz in eastern Poland is a common grave, nearly a mile long containing the bodies of many thousands of massacred Jews.
