The bishops of the catholic church of Germany have issued a pastoral letter, which has been read in all the catholic‘churches, calling on their congregations to ab- stain from voting for the dispossession of the Hohenzollerns and the other members of the late nobility. The catholic clergy from their pulpit have told the members of their churches that to vote for the dispossession of the monarchists is a violation of the church law against stealing. They have also threatened those who vote for the measure with DOTY DESERTION “excommunication from the TRIAL SUSPENDED ON PARIS ORDERS No Action t Until French Government Gets Facts (Special to The Daily Worker) BEIRUT, June 9—Action in the case of Bennett Doty, American member of the foreign legion, who is charged with desertion and inspiring to mutiny, has been suspended pending a report to the French government in Paris.

Cite Rules for Real Estate Sharks (Special to The Daily Worker) DEPROIT,,June 9-—-A..Negro.may aot occupy property he owns fn a sub- division having restrictions, is the ruling of Judge Leland W. Carr in the Cireuit court here. Basing his decision on a clause in the restriction provisions of the Lake- wood Boulevard sub-division which says that “property shall not be sold or leased to persons whose ownership would be injurious to the locality,” Judge Carr ruled that Negro owners or lessees may not reside in the sub- division. A permanent itijunction was granted Frank Schulte, Rollins P. Winter and the Lakewood Boulevard Civic Asso- ciation against William and Lena Starke, Negroes. It is believed that the decision will open the way for a drive against Negro homeowners in all of the rés- tricted sub-divisions here which was halted by the acquittal of the defend- ants in the Sweet case.
