NAZI ESPIONAGE IN AMERICA 1 he charge that Count von Luckner, German sea devil, who is ostensibly com ing to the l mted States on a lecture tour, i^ actually to become chief of the propaganda staff of the Nazi organiza tion in the United States, was made bv Bernard S. Deutsch, President of the American Jewish Congress, in a radio speech over station NVBNX, speaking on the "Opinion” hour. Count von Luckner, Mr. Deutsch said, is to replace Erich Weigand, the present director of Nazi propaganda in the l nited States, who is to return to Ger many shortly, allegedly because he is un able to secure a renewal of his visitor's visa. Declaring that the League of the Friends of New Germany, set up upon orders from Germany, has replaced the officially disbanded Nazi Party in the l nited States, Mr. Deutsch asserted that the head of the freight department at the North German Lloyd Offices in New York, A. Menzing, is a leader of the Nazi brain trust in this country. He linked the Silver Shirts and the Khaki Shirts with the Nazi movement here. There are ten principal Nazi centers in the United States, Mr. Deutsch stated, namely, in New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Denver, San Francisco, Trenton, Milwaukee and Port land, where the Nazi organizers are mak ing a vigorous attempt to bring about the transfer of the allegiance of German* Americans from American principles to those of the German government. A widespread system of espionage, he asserted, has been set up by the Nazi or ganization in this country. German newspapers of standing in this country have had threats directed against their editors by Nazi organizations upon refusal to publish news of a character de manded by the Nazi, Mr. Deutsch as serted. A favorite method employed to intimidate the editors is to threaten re prisals against relatives in Germany. German-Americans, he charged, are spied upon in beer-gardens and, if guilty of casting animadversions upon the Nazi government, are promptly reported with a view to action against relatives in Ger many. This division, Mr. Deutsch said, is under the direction of Heinz Spank- noebel, the supervisor of Nazi activities in the United States. A second division, according to Mr. Deutsch, is under the direction of Count Sourarrna-Douglas, who has arranged a spy system among German and Russian servant girls employed in Jewish homes. The duty of the servants is to spy upon their employers and report anti-Hitler activity, with a view to reprisals against relatives in Germany. Further, he said, there is an espionage system directed against American writ ers who are unfriendly to the Nazi re gime. Their pseudonyms are ferreted out; their family histories ransacked with a view to discovering whereabout of rel atives, if in Germany, for the purpose of reprisals. Mr. Deutsch declared that one of the most startling aspects of this espionage system is allegedly the organization of a White Russian Division, said to be led by the Russian Theremin, known in this country as the inventor of the Theremin musical instrument. While declared to be an independent organization, it is learned, Mr. Deutsch declared, that this body is collaborating with the White Russian Storm Troops in Germany under the leadership of Savara- tore, who is supposed to be training 3,000 White Russian Storm Troops at the army camp Juterborg, near Berlin. The latter organization has been re quested to send some officers to the United Stales to train the storm troops here, Mr. Deutsch said. What is happening in the United States, according to Mr. Deutsch, has been dup licated throughout the world. The Brown Internationale, he asserted, has branches in at least sixteen countries, outside of Germany, including Austria, Holland, Belgium, England, Ireland, Canada, Lat via, Finland, Esthonia, Hungary, Rou- mania, Norway, Sweden, Africa, South America and Central America. The rise of Nazidom, Mr. Deutsch said, has forced the Jew into racial self-recog nition. Declaring that this racial self recognition must mean racial economic productivity, he called upon the Jews of the world to unite in supporting the es tablishment of the World Jewish Con gress in 1934, which is to serve as a Jewish body to deal with national emer gencies and to plan a program of na tional reconstruction. “There seems no reason why,” Mr. Deutsch said, "with the establishment of a World Jewish Congress as a perma nent, representative and authoritative body, we may not strive toward perma nent representation of the Jewish people at the League of Nations, appearing as a people defending our human and na tional rights with self-conscious pride." Geneva.—In an effort to halt the Jew ish boycott of German goods in Poland, Dr. Joseph Goebbels and Baron Con stantin von Neurath, Nazi ministers of propaganda and foreign affairs respect ively, have conferred here with Colonel Joseph Beck, Polish foreign minister. Colonel Beck told the Nazi spokesmen that the Polish Jews would not discon tinue the boycott until Germany rescinded its anti-Jewish laws. Goebbels and von Neurath are understood to have told the Polish statesmen that the Nazi regime could not restore all the rights of the Jews but it might consider concessions in commercial and religious spheres.

Berlin.—'Che one-time ukase of Czarist Russia forbidding Jews to own land, has now been revived in Nazi Germany where the new farm law signed by Chancellor Hitler not only deprives Jews of the privilege to inherit land but bars them from owning it. Under the new law farmers are prohibited from selling their land or dividing it among their heirs. A farm in Germany is to l»e owned henceforth only by a peasant who must be a German citizen of German or kin dred blood. The law also defines “Ar yans’ as those whose families have been without Jewish blood or other "non- aryan" strains sincee January 1, 1800. Osborne Battery Service WAULACK OHBOmXE.
