ZURICH, (JTA)—Exit visas for
Jews desiring to emigrate from
unoccupied France will hereafter
be issued by the French Ministry
of Foreign Affairs instead of the
local police authorities, as hitherto

cially against foreign-born Jews,
whom the Nazi authorities in Paris
would prefer to see deported to
occupied territories in Eastern Eu

desire to hide the Nazi brutalities
against the Jews, but because of
the fact that the governments of

for a more vigorous prosecution of
the war,” it was explained in the
report.

Thousands Arrested In Paris
BERNE, (JTA)—The Velodrome D’Hiver, a bicycle track near
Paris, is so tightly packed with Jews arrested by the German occupa
tion authorities that the internees find it impossible to even stretch
their legs, the Paris correspondent of the Social Democratic Berne
newspaper Tagwacht, reports this week.
Describing the situation of the Jews confined in the camp, the Swiss
correspondent writes: “The famed Velodrome D’Hiver is now packed
with the most miserable human beings of both sexes- It is impossible
for them to stretch their legs, nor have they room to lie down and
sleep. They must stand in line for hours when they wish to use the
lavatory. Some of the younger Jewish women have been forced into
brothels patronized by German soldiers."
He confirmed the reports that scores of Jews committeed suicide
when Gestapo agents came to seize them. ‘‘During the days between
July 15 and 25 we went through hell," the correspondent states. ‘‘Many
cases came to my knowledge where women and their children jumped
from windows. But this did not deter the Nazis. The arrests continued "
The Tagwacht this week carries a front-pa^e editoral commenting
on the arrests entitled: “We Cannot Remain Silent."

words which had appeared next to some of the names had been
scraped off, apparently with a pen knife. It is believed that the words
indicated criminal intent of some kind. The FBI laboratory may be
able to restore enough of the letters to make the deleted words legible,
