resulted today in the withdrawal of
the Jewish Ullstein family control from
the Ullsten Publishing Co.-long Ger
.nany'S most modern and most flourish
ing newspaper news agency magazine,
book and travel bureau concern.
The NaZi victory was only partial,
however, since Franz Ullstein remains
on the Governing Board with eight
Aryans and Karl Ullstein continues
as one of five executive directors, the
other four being Aryans.
The Ullsteins founded the company
In 1877.
In the past, the family has had a
ma jority of the total stock of S10,000,-
600, but by vote of general meeting
S4,000,000 of the family possession was
transformed into ron-voting stock,
which enjoys equal rights with the
voting stock in participation in profits.
The UllStein family,s influence in the
remaining voting stock will be neutral
lied further by expansion of the capital
to 100000 through the influx of the
non-Ullstein capital.
According to unconfirmed rumors in
financial circles, the dye trust now
controls the UllSteins.
The concern publishes three daily
newspaper-the Vossische Zeitung,
Berliner Zeitung and the Mittag Nor
genpost. as well as the weekly Gruene
Post and the Berliner, an illustrated
periodical, along with numerous other

GOLD HUNT SCHEME
CATCHES INTEREST
Proposal to Put 100000
Men to Work With U. S.
Aid Demonstrated Here.

The proposal that the Federal Gov
1mately 100000 unemployed men by
grubstaking them and sending them off
to hunt for gold at placer diggings, is
being given serious consideration by the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
tion.
While no decision on the proposal has
been made, and no forecast can be OBJ
tained on just what ultimately will be
done, 1t has been learned that the relief
heads are intrigued by the idea pre-
sented them Tuesday by Randolph
Walker, associate editor of Pathe News,
who has been campaigning his proposal
for the past two or three years.
Plan Is Illustrated.
Walkers plan was illustrated to re-
lief officials by motion pictures in the
auditorium of the Interior Department
and they went away admitting they
were seriously impressed with the idea
Walker pointed out that there are al
ready in various sections of the country
about 100000 new gold prospectors and
placer miners who are earning an aver
age of SO cents a day by their undi-
rected efforts. Many of them, he said
are making a much better living. but
the ineffective work of thousands OF
inexperienced men, driven by the de-
preston to take up the work without
any previous knowledge, reduces the
average earnings.
Walker proposed that the Government
give young men a short training course
in the actual planning of gold and
searching for lodes, and then provide
low-cost transportation to likely fields
Prospectors Use Plan.
He pointed out that in Canada s
great many young men are being SEN
out by prospectors who grubstake then
and share any returns that may be
realized. These young men are con-
stantly being poured into the vast, un-
prospected areas of Northern Canada
and some large returns to the pros
pectors and to the young miners have
been reported.
Walker pointed out to relief official.
that there are possibilities for employ.
ment Of at least a million men in thi:
work, which would provide them no
only with a probable living, but alsc
would have a considerable effect IL
building up the gold reserves in this
country.
Not all the possibilities for gold min
ing are in the West, Walker claims. HI
says that gold in sufficient quantities to
warrant its being mined under present
conditions has been found in Virginia
