Moscow synagogues and anti-religious meetings held by Jewish Communists were equally well attended here today, the former by aged Jews, the latter by Jewish youth.

One anti-religious meeting was held in a synagogue, part of which had been assigned as a club to young Jewish Communists. In another part of the synagogue aged worshippers held services. Two other large anti-religious meetings were conducted in a Jewish theatre and at the Club Communist.

At the same time a brass band concert, games and dances were arranged by anti-religious elements.
