BERLIN, March 31.-TWenty-four
hours before Uneir scheduled nation
wide boycott of Jewish industry and
commerce. Nazi storm troopers mob
ilized today for mass action in every
city of Germany.
In last minute instructions issued
through boycott committees set up
by the HitleriteS to manage the
boycott, it was emphasized that Sat
urday's action is not a government
but a party activity.
Thousands Of civilian NaM party
members we're summoned to duty,
dressed in multi, but wearing dis
tinguishing armbands with the
party'S sWastika emblem to take
the place Of storm troopers who are
office holders and who will not be
able to participate in the picketing
of Jewish shops.
Nazi storm troopers occupied the
first division of the Berlin criminal
court today and asked judges, law
yers and clerks of Jewish origin to
quit their posts.
Regulations for the orderly
boycott we're issued today. They
provide that would-be patrons of
Jewish shops must not be hindered
from entering any stores, but that
the pickets shall appeal to them to
Buy German

In some small towns, snapshots
will be taken of patrons who insist
upon buying Of Jewish tradeSmen.
and the pictures will be published by
the local press.
Names and addresses Of customers
presumably will be taken by pickets
The Nazis do not intend to enter
the publishing plants of Jewish
newspapers, but action will be taken
to prevent sale of such newspapers
on the street, and copies of these
publications may be torn up.
1t is estimated that 10000 pick
cts will be on duty in Berlin, Sat
urday, working in three-hour shifts.
The actual picketing will begin
at $50 a. m. Saturday, when storm
troopers will attach large posters to
all Jewish stores announcing the
beginning of the boycott. The post
erS will be in yellow type on black
paper-ancient symbol of degrada-
ton.

the annual moving day for Berlin
will bear immense posters pro-
claiming the boycott.

from hospital and clinic Staffs,
through cancellation or non-reneWal
of their contracts.
Action against the lawyers will
be concentrated at the general
chambers adjoining the German
courts, where storm troopers will
prevent Jewish attorneys from en-
tering to plead their cases.
This method, Nazi leaders believe,
will succeed in disSuadng citizens
from consulting Jewish lawyers,
who would not be permitted to file
suits or appeal for clients.

Berlin district directs German en-
ployeS of Jewish shops to appear at
