For the present, however. he dreams
boyish dreams OF distant lands-a 1arm

office, under the Gothic arches OF

Nazi Minister Believes Public
Will Make Government Ac-
tion Unnecessary.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 9.-Dr. Joseph Goeb-
bels, Nazi minister of public enlighten-
ment, believes the theater is one field
in which the Hitler government need
not take measures to oust the Jews. He
predicts the public gradually will force
them out.
Chancellor Hitler's propaganda spe-
cialist told meeting last night of
theater owners. directors and stars that
the government has no intention of
forcing the theaters to produce rropa-
ganda. He cited the present revolution
as an excellent sample of drama en-
acted in the daily streets"
New Art to Be Heroic.
German art in the next decade will
be heroic. steely. romantic and devoid
of sentimentality," he asserted. 1T will
be national With great pathos or it Will
not exists"
Further restrictions on Jews were i'm
posed today in revised civil service reg
ulations. Jews maintaining Offices be-
cause of war service must now show
they underwent fire in the war and
those who were ever identified with
Communists or the Republican War
Veterans Association are barred. This
applies to such posts of judges, profes-
sors, notaries and police.
Premier Hermann Goering of Prus-
sia. Nazi member of the national cab
met, also spoke last night, attacking
unauthorized formation of various Or
ganizations in German life which close
ly approximated political racketeer-
ing"
Hits "Theater Central"
He ordered the public to ignore the
German Theater Central" which
sought to form a theatergoers' union
Similarly he ordered actors groups tc
desist from activities calculated tc
harm non-members. asserting that the
government is for all and not select
groups
His declaration also was aimed at va
rious groups seeking to worm theil
way into business and commercial life
The first result of this announcement
was statement by students organiza-
tions that care would be taken not te
consign any valuable scientific books tc
the bonflres which are to blaze tomor-
row.
Plans are being carried forward, how
ever, for the burning ceremonies In
many cities. So-called un-German
books, particularly the works of Jews
and MarxiStS, are to be destroyed.
