3300 HERE ASSAL - HITLER'S PROGRAM Mass Meeting Asks U. S. to ! Protest Alleged Persecu~ tion of Jews. With proposals of severance of diplo- matic relations with Germany and a general boycott of that nation’s products Tinging in its ears as possible means of forcing the Hitler-controlled Germany to cease its reported persecution of German Jews, an enthusiastic audience of 3500 Jews and Christians that overflowed the Belasco Theater last night adopted resolutions calling upon the State Department to “make such Tepresentations” to Germany as may end the anti-Jewish movement within its borders. ‘The resolutions, presented by a com- mittee in the last few minutes of a two-and-one-quarter-hour protest meet- ing, were adopted by acclamation. The meeting itself was one of 80 similar protest meetings held in the major cities of the United States last night to express vigorous opposition to the German government'’s alleged policy of “atrocious persecution” of Jews. Notables Speak. Speakers included Senator William H. King of Utah, who suggested sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany unless the Hitler government desisted from the ‘“unbelievable pro- gram” that has been reported; Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, Episcopal; Right Rev. Wil- liam F. McDowell, retired bishop of the Methodist Church; Rev. John A. Ryan of tne Catholic University faculty; Rabbi Solomon Metz and Dr. Charles| Edward Russell, noted journalist. In his address, Senator King lauded the Jews for their contributions to| world culture and declared it was “in- conceivable” to him that Germany-to- day should exercise “such cruel atrocity” toward them. With the German em- pire’s fall at the termination of the World War, the Senator said, the world had come to look for the estob- lishment in that nation of progressive republic. The events of the last few days, however, dash those hopes for # new “power of humanity” as “it looks now like Germany will defeat all the progress she has made and turn away from democracy. “I regret exceeding Senator King declared, “that there has come to power in Germany an authority of such pronounced nationalism. These are times for internationalism, when peoples of the earth should stand and work together in a common accord. Severance Threatened. “If the Hitler government persists in its present course,” the Senator con- tinued slowly, pounding the dais be- fore him with dramatic emphasis, “I; say to you I would not hesitate to vote for a resolution . . .” A burst of applause interrupted the legislator, who continued after his raised hand silenced the tense audi- . vote for a resolution favoring the severance of diplomatic relations with Germany!” The packed house rose with thunder- ous applause and shouts of approval. When he could continue, Senator King pointed out that in 1906, during the ‘Taft administration, the United States Government addressed a_similar threat to Czarist Russia on behalf of the persecuted Jews of that nation. Later, the United States took similar action, he said, on behalf of persecuted Ar- menians. He closed his address with the hope that “this and the other meet- ings throughout the United States to- night will make Germany alter its course” with respect to its Jews. The demonstration accorded Senator King was the sccond spontaneous out- burst of the meeting. Bishop McDowell ‘was given a salute when he proclaimed it “a proud privilege to identify our- selves (members of the Methodist faith) with the 600,000 Jews in Germany; a proud privilege to die with the right.” He brought the audience to its feet shouting when he turned to Isadore Herschfield, chairman of the meeting, gripped his hand and said: “I pledge my people by the side of your people!” Bishop Freeman Talks. Bishop Freeman was the first of the | formal speakers to be heard. He de- clared that he spoke “as a lover of Ger- many,” recalling that he once had a! church there, and that he was not con- | cerned with the internal affairs of the German nation. The Episcopal prelate | asserted, however, that he was inter- ested in the atrocities that are being committed “whether they are commit- ted in Germany or Russia or any other nation.” He said it was inconceivable that in this day of advanced civiliza- tion it is necessary for groups of people to meet in protest meetings in opposi- | tion to the persecutions which are | creditably reported. Cne voice of protest is slight, Bishop Frceman asserted, but when the Nation speaks, it carries the weight of 120,000,- 000 voices. He concluded his address with an appeal for “our determined, our | vigorous protest against the new gov- | ernment that has med the reins of power in Germany.” Dr. Russell proposed the boycott as! & means of bringing Germany to terms. He offered four lines of attack on the problem: 1. Do not stop with one protest meet- ing, but write and talk protests among the American people “so that a great voice will be raised, so great that even Adolph Hitler can hear it. 2. Do not be deceived by the denials “and sad songs to soft music that come across the Atlantic.” 3. Speaking for himself, he will not | visit Germany, will not travel in Ger- | man ships, and will not buy “Made in ; Germany” products until Germany erases the blot of bigotry and persecu- tion from its record. 4. Appeal to the United States for its | protest in view of the absence of a Jew- ish nation to protest in behalf of the German Jews.

Ryan Assails “Nationalism.” Dr. Ryan attacked the nationalism which, he said, was Germany's chief fault in its present governmental phil- osophy. The Catholic Church, Father Ryan told the audlence, is opposed to nationalism and the Holy Father has frequently condemned it. “If you Jews are as ‘international’ as | you are accused of being.” Father Ryan said, “you are much nearer world peace than those of us who prate about pa- triotism, and 115 per cent American- ism; nearer than the Ku Klux Klan, the | Civic League and some members of the D. A. R At the conclusion of Father Ryan's | address, M. D, Rosenberg, chairman of the Resolution Committee, read the re- port of that group. Citing the cabled reports of the German atrocities against Jews and reported violence against “even citizens of the United States so- Jjourning” in Germany, the resolution asserted “that we earnestly protest against these unjustifiable atrocities and excesses inflicted upon a defense- less and innocent people, and we express our indignation end sorrow that such acts can take place in this era of en- lightenment and progress.” Continuing, the resolution asserted: “That we urge our State Department to make such representations to the governmental authorities of Germany as it may deem appropriate and adequate to bring about a cessation of this cruel and unjustifiable persecution.” Copies of the resolutions will be sent to President Roosevelt, the Secretary of the State, and the Ambassador of Ger- many to the United States. BEER BILL IS PASSED BY SENATE IN OHIO Additional Financial Legislation Awaits Action of House on 3.2 Beverage. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 238.—Ad- ditional financial legislation dealing with banks and building and loan as- sociations probably will be recom- mended to the Ohio General Assembly after the House has acted upon the ad- | lr)neinXstrauon bill to legalize 3.2 per cent er.

JUNCTION CITY, Kans., March 28. —Brig. Gen. A. J. Lott, commandant at Fort Riley, said yesterday that 3.2 per cent beer will not be sold at the post made by the ‘War Department. Gen. Lott expressed belief that an existing War Department ruling pro- hibits the sale of beer. In any event, the general said, beer will not be sold to civilians. Authority to sell beer at all Army posts in the 7th Corps Area, compris- ing Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas, has been granted by Maj Gen.

OHIO BEER APPROVED Senate Passes Measure Conforming to Federal Act. COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 28 (#).— A biil to legalize beer of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content in conformity with new Federal regulations was passed by the Ohio Senate last night by a vote of 25 to 6. Included in the bill was an emer- gency clause which would make it ef- fective immediately upon signature by the Governor.

PROTEST MEETINGS HELD. | | Many Rallies Against Jewish Persecu- tions Score Hitler Tactics. By the Associated Press. After a day of mass protest, Jews throughout the world watched today the situation of their brethren in Ger- many, where the government launched an “anti-lie campaign.” Alleged mistreatment of Jews in the Reich was protested at meetings last night in many parts of the world. In New York more than 22000 packed Madison Square Garden. and there was an overflow crowd of many thousands. i Alfred E. Smith, addressing this mecting, said Jews are “a peace-loving class of citizens that have been help- ful to every country they inhabit” and declared the only thing to do with anti-Semitism “is to drag it out in the open sunlight and give it the same| treatment we gave the Ku Klux Klan.” Exaggerations Charged. A cable from Berlin said telegrams of indignation, declaring that reports of excesses in Germany were exag- gerated, were sent to the United States by members of the Protestant clergy. industrialists and Jewish organizations. Dr. K. O. Bertling, director of Amerika Institut in Berlin, wired Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler he was “shocked at the gross misinterpretation of recent Ger- man events.” Young Fascists stormed a gathering of Jews in Sofia, Bulgaria, and 15 peo- ple were hurt. At a protest meeting in Buenos Aires, German Nationalists threw petards and tear-gas bombs and several persons were injured. The New Jersey Legislature passed a resolution protesting what it called death and imprisonment of Jewish na- tionals by the Hitler government. The ‘Tennessee Legislature also passed a resolution of protest. Nation Not Condemned. At Albany, N. Y., Gov. Herbert H. Lehman said he felt that American sentiment concerning the treatment of Jews in Germany was that the “great principles” of liberty should be main- tained. He said there was “no animosity to the great German naticn.” This polml was also stressed by Rabbi Stephen S.! Wise at the New York meeting. Other speakers in New York were Bishcp Willlam T. Manning of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Bishop Francis J. McConnell of the Methodist Episcopal Church and William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. At a similar meeting in Chicago Gov. Paul V. McNutt of Indiana, former national commander of the American Legion, said: “The Nazis are not the first persecutors of the Jews, but they will bring upon themselves if they are not careful the same retribution that visited the Roman Empire, Spain and Czarist Russia.” Message From Gerard. Before speaking, Gov. McNutt re- ceived the fcllowing telegram from James W.

By the Associated Press. BRUNSWICK, Germany, March 28.— ‘The first counter-revolt plot within the ranks of supporters of the two-month- old Hitler government was reported un- covered today with 1,350 men under arrest. A State-wide ban on the Steel Helmet War Veterans, allies of the Nazi Brown- shirted Storm Troops since the creation of the Hitler coalition cabinet, was de- clared. Dietrich Klagges, Nazi minister of the interior in Brunswick, declared members of the disbanded Reichsbanner, the Republican Defense Organization, banded with Steel Helmeters “under orders to start a fight against the Nazi party.” Those arrested included 200 Steel Helmeters, who had been raz2» auxiliary police along with the Nazi Storm Troops. The remainder under arrest were mostly youthful Socialists and Communists. Brunswick Leader Held. Franz Seldte, the one-armed leader of | 1,000,000 Steel Helmeters throughout | the country, stated in Berlin early today that he was convinced of the trustworth- iness of the organization's leader in Brunswick. This leader, Dr. Schrader, | however, was roused from bed early this morning in Wolfenbuettel, Brunswick, and placed under arrest. | Seldte is also minister of labor in| Chancellor Hitler's cabinet, which here- tofore has presented an outward picture of perfect harmony. The Nationalists, including Seldte, in the cabinet far out- number the Nazis and that monarchist party is closely affiliated with the Steel Helmet organization. The Steel Helmeters and Leftists were arrested in a sensational raid last night on the former's headquarters here, in the Municipal Sick Benefit Administra- tion Building. Through the night blaz- ing lights of the big building, where the prisoners were cooped up, drew citizens of this provincial capltal, who crowded the police lines tightly drawn around it. | A detachment of storm troops guarded the entrance while inside the main hall the 200 Steel Helmeters savagely paced | the floor under watch of their erstwhile comrades. The war veterans were dis- armed and the Nazi auxiliary police guarding them carried carbines. Upstairs, on the second, third and | attic floors, the 1,150 other prisoners awaited questioning. Police reported many of these possessed weapons, The city jail was inadequate to house the prisoners and officials were puzzled also as to how the cases could be speeded through the courts, which were unprepared for such an emergency. Among those arrested in the building were Assistant State Leader Nowack of the Steel Helmeters and the former Reichsbanner leader, Hedermann, who was accused of negotiating with the Steel Helmet to take over his men The Steel Helmeters were so angered by the action against them that some of them smashed their weapons before giving them up. Conference Saturday. Steel Helmet leaders planned a con- ference in Berlin next Saturday to d cuss admittance of new members. The Reichsbanner was made up mainly of | members of the Leftis parties, which | have been prohibited from holding pub- | lic_demonstrations. Minister Seldte cited Chancellor Hit- | ler's recent speech before the Reich- stag calling for support of the whole people as causing great numbers to seek membership in patriotic societies. But, he said, the Steel Helmet “every- where put on the brakes.” Under the orders issued by Minister Klagges, who signed the Brunswick decree a year ago which made Hitler. a native Austrian, a German citizen. the police membership cards were taken from all the Steel Helmeters ar- rested. | Suddenly caring for so many prison- | ers was no easy task and Red Cross workers were kept busy aiding older men who collapsed after a sleepless | night. | The arfested were taken in.groups | of 200 to police barracks for breakfas: | Families of the arrested men were kept | inquiring anxiously concerning their | welfare. HELD LOCAL CLASH. Officials Belittle Brunswick Plot and | Liken It to Brawl BERLIN, March 28 (#)—National headquarters of the Steel Helmet War Veterans' organization today viewed the reported revolt of its forces in Bruns- wick as merely a local fight with the Nazi storm troops. “The Nazis apparently lost their nerves over reports of an alleged influx of radicals into the Steel Helmet ranks,” said a headquarters spokesman. The Nazi minister of interior in Brunswick said the Steel Helmeters, who have been allies of the Brown Shirts in supporting the Hitler government, were combining with radicals to fight the Nazis. Minister of Labor Franz Seldte, na- tional leader of the Steel Helmets, and Capt. Hermann Goering and Dr. Wil- helm Frick, two Nazi ministers, were re- ported to have conferred amicably to- day. ‘¥I¢ is expected that our comrades will be released before night and the whole incident closed. It was crazy in the first place to make such a fuss over a mere trifle,” said the Steel Helmet spokesman. Asked whether the Brunswick inci- dent was likely to lead to an_estrange- ment of the Nazis and Steel Helmeters elsewhere, he replied: ““Certainly not. It was a pure local fight. Just as in the pre-war days, the infantry and cavalry scmetimes had brawls arising from local rivalries, so these two patriotic societies had local differences. rty in power In Germany was “a Zr‘nui of pg:ple who deny all the prin- ciples of government.” “The German people are not a cruel. barbarous or intolerant people,” Reed sald. “They are the victims of con- fusion following the war that has per- mitted & group of people who deny all the principles of government to seize the power. What is done to the Jew in a measure is being done to all the German people.” Reed warned that “if persecutions are allowed to continue against Jews they will be directed next against Catholics and against Methodists or Baptists if they happen to be in the minority.” PALESTINE RETALIATES.

By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Kans, March 28— A “beer war” similar to one waged in Kansas before national prohibition is foreseen by Roland Boynton, State's attorney general. Here yesterday for a conference with James F. Goings, deputy "prohibition administrator for the attorney general sald he had information that a “sort of firm had been formed to start the sale of beer in Kansas in the next month.” State officials contend Kansas' bone dry law will not permit the sale of the 3.2 per cent beer legalized by the Fed- | eral Government after midnight, April 6. “The plan as explained to me.” said Boynton, “is to make deliveries to | homes. The beer sellers expect to tie us up with an injunction, just as the slot machine interests did and carry | on_under court protection.” Between the time of State prohibition | in Kansas and the advent of the na- | tional prohibition laws, brewers insisted | they had the right to deliver to homes | in the State under protection of Inter- | state Commerce regulations. Boynton declared the beer interests would no sooner start operations than | the war would begin. | “I have read the Federal act and it/ makes the Government responsible for keeping dry States dry,” he said. “We are going to stop every beer wagon that crosses the State line, confiscate the cargo and insist that any legal ac- tions be speedily heard.” NEW LIQUOR CODE DRAFT TO BE MADE Colorado Governor Vetoes Two Bills Passed by General As- sembly for Beer.
