yesterday that the State Departments

member of the German Embassy staff.
was mandatory. Far-reaching and un-
pleasant complications are predicted un-
less the order is obeyed. The report that
District Attorney Marshall had sent only
Photographic copies of the papers to
Washington nettled officials here.
The report that the Department of JUS
tice would ask the German Ambassador
to identify these Photographic copies as
part of the German Embassy's prop

of Justice, It is explained, cannot take
the matter up with Count Won Bernstein

course than returning the papers to the

the Cleverest creator of styles for

Il have been patronizing Stein for

of his union tailors is always first

are surprisingly reasonable. I would
