> The newspaper "Robotnik" is indignant that a Polish military court had a nineteen-year-old communist from Łódź shot, while Wieczorkiewicz and Bagiński were pardoned. The Left has submitted an interpellation in the Sejm.

The newspaper "Robotnik" attacks the Polish Government very sharply for the execution, by sentence of a military field court, of 19-year-old Engel, a member of the Union of Communist Youth in Łódź, who killed the provocateur Łuczak, a "confidant" of the political police.

President Wojciechowski, after consulting the Minister of the Interior, Wyganowski, rejected the petition for clemency. This draws particular attention in view of the pardoning of Wieczorkiewicz and Bagiński…

The left-wing parties have submitted interpellations in the Sejm concerning the execution of a minor.
