Sea Scouts Cruise
Plans Discussed

The District of Columbia Sea
Scouts may have cruise aboard
the Edith Marcy this summer, II
enough scouts sign up for the
boat trip.
This announcement was made
last night at rally of the scouts
at the old Engineer Wharf by
Bob Meyers, Scout director.
Several scouts registered for the
cruise. The Edith Marcy will
take the place of the Argo, the
boat previously used by the scouts,
because of her light draft makes
it more serviceable for the shallow
channels the Scouts use.

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Aug.
3 QN.S0 Nearly three thousand
Heidelberg students, virtually all
of whom have embraced the tenets
Of national socialism, troop once
or twice a week into the Schur-
mann building, the university hall
built with American dollars, to
hear lectures on philosophy and
political economy, from Nazi-
minded professors.
Taught to Hate Jews
Here in this building they learn
other things the NaZi creed, and
they learn that Germany was be-
tfayed by Jews; that the Jews
lost the war for Germany, that
Germany had been bled white by
the scheming speculation of Jew
Ash financiers and they hear the
words of DR.. Paul Josef Goebbels
drummed into their ears:
Repeat it a hundred times so
that you will say it in your
dreamS-the Jews are to blame!"
The students, burning with
Nazi zeal and filled with anti
Jewish sentiment. then walk out
Of their magnificent class rooms
and leaving the building perhaps
cast fleeting glance at a marble
tablet in the hall upon which
is engraved the names of Ameri-
cans who contributed the $780,
900 to construct the edifice.
Jews Among Contributors
Among the 20 names are:
Jules Bach, Henry Goldman,
Mortimer Schiff. Felix Warburg,
Adolph Zukor, Samuel Sachs, H.
M. Warner, Robert Lehman. Will
liam Fox and Julius RoSenwald.
Former Ambassador Jacob Gould
Schurmann led the drive to OBJ
tain funds from the German
Americans for the construction
of the building which is Heidel-
berg's largest lecture hall, and
perhaps nine-tenths of the money
was donated by American Jews.
The irony of using lecture halls
paid for with money contributed
by Jews to further the anti-Jew-
ish political tenentS of Hitler's
government has quite escaped
both the university authorities
and the students.
