BERLIN, May 1.-The town Of

Last year hundreds of Americans
from Coblenz and tourists who at
tended the Oberammergau Passion

val. But foreigners will be scarce
this year because Of the strict pass

The festival play is written around

Nusch took up the challenge and
succeeded in drinking the wine at
one breath, but fell in a faint from

afterward, to find himself the hero
