VISITING BRITISH SAILORS (11 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 21. Pickets of the Zionist Youth organisation clashed with the police as they made repeated attempts to crash through a cordon, round a building where a ball was being given in honout of British sailors from visiting warships.
The ball was attended by several thousand persons, including members of the British diplomatic service. The pickets carried placards bearing such slogans as “British Pirates Not Wanted Here,” and “British Pirates Scram.”
The pickets gathered round smalt groups of people attending the ball and derided them, but no injuries on either side are reported.
