CAMBRIDGE CREW
DEFEATS OXFORD
Tenth Straight Victory Reg.
iStered in 85th Annual
Classic.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated FTeSS.
PUTNEY ON THAMES, England,
April 1.-Cambridge today won the
eighty-fifth annual boat race from Ok
ford for its tenth straight victory, set
ting a new competitive record for the
cerltury-old rivalry.
The Light Blues swept to victory by
two and one-half lengths after leading
from the mile-and-a-half point.
Away first with a higher stroke,
Cambridge yielded the lead to the Dark
Blues at the mile by quarter length,
next half mile and thereafter were al
ways cut in 'front.'
At the three-mile point they were a
length to the good and from there to
the finish line at Mortlake Brewery
open water was showing between the
two shells.
Cambridge's time for the four miles
374 yards was 20 minutes, 81 seconds,
the slowest recorded since 1925 when
oxford sank and the Light Blues rowed
to hollow victory.
The last oxford victory was scored
in 1928 when w. Palmer Mellen, an
American-trained oarsman, stroked the
Dark Blues to ee-quarter-le length
triumph to break string OF nine
straight Cambridge victories.
Despite the grueling pace both crews
finished comparatively fresh.
A crowd numbered in the hundreds
of thousands lined both sides OF the
river from Putney Bridge to the brew
cry to cheer their favorites on.
Already the favored crew in pre-
race betting Cambridge became an
overwhelming choice when it drew the
Surrey side of the river, where calmer
water prevails at several stretches. and
gave evidence in its even stroking OF
the fine things that had been said
about it.

Society issued the following statement:
mo German must ever go to jew
ish doctor again for treatment or buy
at Jewish apothecaries. 1t Is untrue
that Jewish doctors, dentists and drug
gists are indispensable or better than

So The Municipal Sick Relief Insurance
Society issued a statement forbidding
members from receiving treatment from
Jewish physicians or patronizing Jewish
druggists, opticians, dentists and mas
seurs or Jewish-owned medical baths,
X-ray institutions and clinics.
DR.. Goebbels further warned that "if
New York and London boycott Ger
man goods" the government will take
its gloves off" in handling the Jewish
problem.
Chancellor Hitler's government. which
had remained silent while the boycott
plans were formulated by the party,
was placed in the position of indorsing
the action when DR.. Goebbels read a
government pronouncement last night
at a packed meeting of Nazis.

not have arisen so soon II 1t had not
been for worldwide Jewish activities.
when American and English Jews
attack the German government, we can
not hinder German people from attack
ing the German Jews" he said.
Wagner issues Statement.
Declaring he hoped no further re-
ports of alleged atrocities would be pub
lished in the United States and other
countries during the next few days, he
asserted those days would determine
whether the boycott is to be resumed.
DR.. Otto WAGNER, another prominent
NaH and close adviser Of Hitler, de-
clared that the boycott would be called
off if leading German Jews disaSsociated
themselves from the eastern and mi
gratory Jews who have poured into
Germany during and since the war.
He explained his partys anti-semitism
on the grounds that whenever Germans
and Jews mix, the Jews dominate.
He declared the Nazis expected the
native German Jews to offer to cooper
ate in Kidding the country OF 100000
Jews who immigrated from Poland and
"who merely came here to live parasitic
lives"
Mass meetings were planned today as
part of the program of the boycott and
placarded automobiles with loud speak
ers were to roam the streets while
thousands of Nazi brown-shirted troops
picketed all Jewish businesses.
The governments strict orders against
any violence and the law forbidding the
entry of pickets into shops, it was
hoped, would help curb any boisterous
Nazi elements.
The boycott actually got under way
last night in Munich, the Nazi party
headquarters. with armed storm troops
guarding Jewish shops. Signs bearing
the word Jews" hung before each of
them.

give praise to the Lord.")

with the gold hammer another time,

platform and attendants drew 1t away.
When the tens of thousands gathered
on the other side of the door, that is,
within the cathedral proper, saw the
door crash and the Pope standing in
the doorway, they sent up deafening
cheer.
Priests and attendants removed the
bricks and washed the threshold with
holy water. They dried it with fine
linen.
The Pope said a short prayer, then
with his right hand took his Episcopal
cross with long standard and with his
left hand lighted candle. He knelt
on the threshold Of the holy door and
chanted the triumphant hymn, "Pange
Lingau."
The hymn ended, he entered the
cathedral, seated himself on q throne
chair and extended his slipper to be
kissed by the priests of st. Peters
Chapter. He spoke to them briefly.
After worshiping the sacrament at
the st. Petronilla altar, Pope Plus
again assembled his portable throne.
The procession carried him to the altar
of the confession in the middle Of the
vast edifice. There he pronounced the
apostolic blessing on the throng.
The ceremony was over. With cheers
ringing on all sides of him, the pontif
was borne away.
The bricks that had composed the
holy door were then distributed to their
respective owners. The door is made
of bricks lent by various people who
are thus able to say they own a por-
ton, small though it be, of st. Peters.

Under baldacchin or canopy and
preceded by the cardinals, other pre-
lates and the Swiss and the noble
guard, the Pope walked to the Sistine
Chapel to venerate the blessed sacra-
ment. There he chanted the "Veni
Creator" while kneeling. Then his
holiness proceeded through throng of
cheering faithful down to the right of
the main altar of st. Peters. Twelve
