DR.. Otto H. F. Vollbehr, Famed
Book Collector, Cites Mes
sage of Semitic Friend.

DR.. Otto H. F. Vollbehr, famous book
collector who sold the Gutenberg Bible
TO the Libary Of Congress, today issued
the following statement regarding re-
ports of anti-Semitic outbreaks on the
part OF the Nazis in Germany:
Inc evidences as to the true situa-
Gion In Germany are accumulating
oaliy, and exclusively from Jewish
sources. we see day by day clearer
tnat the news about atrocities against
Jews are unfounded and that the ex-
clCement witnessed especially here is
utterly ununderstandable. I read all
tne manifestations coming from Jewish
circles over the cables and over the
radlo: But I myself got messages from
JeWSn friends In Germany who i'm
plore me 10 do the utmost in my power
70 dlsslpate the absolutely false stories
and thus alleviate a situation that
threatens ruin to the Jews themselves.
AS book collector have close re-
latlons 10 book dealers in Germany who
are great deal Jews. One of these
friends OF mine, the owner of a large
DOCK store in Wuerzburg. Bavaria. Mr..
Lazarus, wires me as follows: Please be
urgently requested to demonstrate against
atrocity scandals, as they are in full
mere fabrications.' I should deem il
impossible to overlook such testimonies.
and think all right-thinking men would
render not only the truth but the .Jewry
IN Germany signal service if we would
need their protests against a propaganda
that must hurt them more than even
Germany. The experiences of the recent
past might teach all of us lesson"

cavating today and the work had pro-
ceeded far enough to convince Lieut.
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of Pub
lie Buildings and Public Parks, that
there was no obstacle to placing the
pool in the west wing between the
White House and the executive Offices.
Col. Grant said there would be no
change in the architectural design of
the wing, but that two old brick walls
inside probably would be demolished.
These and the wing itself were built
in Jeferson's day. The space where
the pool will be has been used for
various purposes since the wing was
constructed. 1t was the White House
greenhouses from about 1850 to 1902
and later served as the White House
laundry room and still later as Office
space.
Col Grant said the pool would be
about ID by 38 and that it was expected
to cost about $4,000.
Funds for it were raised by several
newspapers and legislation was passed
authorizing the White House to accept
the contributions. President Roose-
velt is looking forward to its compile
ton to resume his principal form OF
