)ne-third of the Jewish children of

a higher court
Shreiher asked the government’s press
hict whether it was permissible for the
minister of justice to agitate against the
It-wish community which is recognized
v the constitution. This is an elemen-
ary rule which Hueber should have
known from his student days, Shreiber
laintained. Thereupon! Shreiber was re-
imanded and the court declined to con
sider his proof of Hueber’s anti-Semitism,
laitiling that it had no bearing on the
barge against the Allgemeinc Zeitung.

Berlin.—The Jewish National Coun
cil of Palestine is criticized by the
irdische Rundschau, organ of the
Let-man Zionists, for the failure of its
hairman, Pinchas Rutenberg, to par
ticipate in the negotiations between the
Jewish Agency and the British gov-
nment. Asking why Professor Felix
I rankfurter is not taking part in the
conversations, the Rundschau asks
merican Zionists and the Revisionists

Chaim Weizmann will be com-
led to relinquish responsibility for

had ended, is changing hands, it is

: Mount Ararat in Turkish terri-

Berlin.—The Prussian Diet this after
noon was the scene of vigorous anti-
Semitic attacks by National Socialist
deputies in connection with a motion to
censure the Socialist premier, Otto
Braun, and the minister of the interior,
Dr. Carl Severing, for permitting the
showing of the now prohibited American
picture, ‘‘All Quiet on the Western
Front.”
The Hitlerite deputy, M. Schwech,
abused Girl Leammle, the American pro
ducer of the picture, as ‘‘a Hungarian
Jew who utilized German heroism for
Jewish-American business,” alleging that
the dialogue of the film contains a pas
sage describing death for the Fatherland
as “filthy.” The left wing deputies, on
the other hand, maintained that Laemmle
was a non-Jewish Gcrman-American.
The debate culminated with a statement
by the Jewish deputy, M. Kuttner, who
charged that Paul Goebbels, leader in the
agitation against the film, had remained
at home while his Jewish classmates had
gone to war. This effectively silenced
the National Socialist deputies who then
turned their oratorical batters on the
UFA producer who arranged the German
version of the picture.

Moscow—A new kind of Yevsectzia,
or Jewish section of the Communist
Party, is to be established in White Rus
sia, according to an order issued today
by the praesidium of the White Russian
central executive committee. The order
calls for the organization of national
minority committees at the local Soviets
of Minsk, Vitebsk, Homcl and forty
other townships.
Each committee is to consist of seven
members with a paid secretary. The
chairman of the committee must be identi
cal with the president of the local Soviet.
The committee’s functions will be to en
lighten the local Soviets on cultural and
economic needs of the national minorities
thus controlling the existence of the
national minorities.
While the Jews of White Russia are
being told that this is an important step
to aid them they nevertheless fear that it
means the return of the Yevsectzia. This
fear is based on the fact that these
national minority committees are not to
be created in Ukrainia and Central Rus
sia where the Jewish Communists do not
play so important a role and are thus
unable to influence their respective central
executive committees to return them to
power.
The original Yevsectzia was liquidated
last February by the central committee
of the Communist Party and Communist
work among the Jews was turned over to
special instructors named by the central
committee. The abolition of the Yev-
sectiza was hailed as a great step in re
lieving the Jewish economic situation in
the Soviet Union. The Yevsectzia was
regarded by the official Soviet leaders
as the special representative of the Jewish
masses and it was largely responsible for
the perscution of the Jewish religion, the
Hebrew language and Zionist activities.
