DRIVE ON NAZIS INU..LAUNGHED German-American League Head Plans to Ask Ar- rest of Kuhn. BACKGROUND— Mayor F. H. La Guardia, New York’s fiery Mayor, a few days ago precipitated an international in- cident by calling Adolf Hitler, Ger- man chancellor, a “Brown-shirted Janatic.” He reiterated his state- ment last night, when he made an unscheduled appearance at an anti- Nax mass meeting. Called to the speakers’ platform, he told his hearers to pay no heed to what Hit- ler said, “because in the opinion of the world he is mot personally satisfaktionsfahig.” This was inter- preted to mean Hitler was not worth meeting on the field of honor. BY the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 16.—Propelled | by an explosive public outburst against Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany | and his political philosophies, a drive | against Nazis in America was crys- talized today in an attempt to obtain the arrest of one of their leaders. Maj. Julius Hochfelder, in behalf of the German-American League of Cul- ture, announced his determination to | seek a warrant for the arrest of Frnzi Kuhn of Detroit, whom he described | as the head of “an alien military or- ganization,” 'on & charge of violating New York's penal laws. Hochfelder was scheduled to go into | eourt in Yorkville, New York's Ger- | man community, today to ask the ar- | rest of Kuhn and two of his aides on | the charge they had failed to file with | the Secretary of State a certificate disclosing the purposes of their so-| ciety, the Amerika-Deutscher Volks- | bund. | Hochfelder asserted the Volksbund | was “an alien military organization, an agengy of the Hitler government.” | Kuhn has denied the organization is affiliated with the German govern- ment and asserted its aim is the op- | position of communism | Former counsel of American Jewish | War Veterans, Hochfelder has ap- | pealed to President Roosevelt and the War Department in an effort to out- law Nazi organizations in this coun- try and, if possible, obtain deporta- tion of their members. A rally of critics of naziism last night which filled Madison Square Garden—it seats approximately 25,- 000—brought from Mayor Fiorello La | Guardia the assertion he would reat his characterization of Hitler a.xi a “brown-shirted fanatic” as often as the occasion demanded. La Guardia’s recent proposal be- | fore a group of Jewish women that| the Gernan dictator be depicted in | a “chamber of horrors” at New York's | World Fair in 1939 precipitated pro- | tests by the Berlin and Washington governments as to the mayor’s re- marks and subsequent replies in the | German press. John L. Lewis, head of the Com- mittee for Industrial Organizatio Hugh Johnson, former N. R. A. ad- ministrator, and other speakers at the rally called for a boycott of Ger- man goods. The meeting was spon- sored by Jewish leaders. As police swarmed about entrances to the Garden to prevent hostile demonstrations, Lewis shouted that | Germany had “reverted to the Mid- | Fight Nazism MAYOR LA GUARDIA Again shouts: “Brown-shirted fanatic.” GEN JOHNSON: “Nazipathics a sort of monster.” JOHN L.

One version was that they had as- sisted in the preliminary work of set- ting up the new government and then left before news of its establishment was reported.
