Mr.. Cato Ninetails. "Likes and dis

Most Of us would be pretty hard put
to 1t to explain some Of our own ;

GERMAN HERDS
 JOB IS SAVED
Fired Because He Was a Jew, Labor Court Dee
 CideS Otherwise

Berlin-(UP)--Jewish blood is no ground for dismissal without notice. This decision recently was handed down by the judge of the Berlin labor court.
 A former officer in the German army, wounded in the World war, was dismissed by his employer without notice. His employer ex- plained to him that he could no longer work for the firm, because he was a Jew and his continued employment was incompatible with the national policy of the German government.
 The Jew protested to the labor court. The judge said in his ex- planation that firm cannot dis charge an employe simply because he IS a Jew, nor could an employ CT base his right to dismissal on the Jewish boycott of April l, in discharging an employe on May 16 (when the dismissal was made).
 In the explanation 1t was further said that neither laws of the NaZi government, for declaration of party leaders, show that the Nazi movement wants all Jews removed from commercial and business life. The decision reads that "the em- ployer must act on his own re- sponsibility and forcefully reject any attempts at intervention, or control, by members of staff"

Harry Kennedy, 5S, was buried here today while his daughter Hope Hampton, carried on the the ater's best-known tradition by con- tinuing her work in New York. She telegraphed she would be un-- able to get away for the funeral when advised of her fathers death yesterday. Kennedy had been i'll five months. He lived here seven years and was employed at film studio.
 A third blood transmission was planned today by physicians at tending Eddie Sutherland, pioneer film director. Sutherland, suffer- ing from pneumonia, underwent a second transfusion last night. He was reported growing weaker and a third transmission was ordered in a last effort to save his life. One of Charlotte Henry's most prized possessions is a poem writ ten for her by Mrs Henry T..
