the Jews.
Streicher's newspaper, Der
Stuermer, chief anti-Semitic or
gan, plastered announcements
throughout the country that a
special issue would be distributed
Thursday revealing allegedly SEN
Sational testimony introduced dur
ing recent trial at Magdeburg,
where a number of Jews were
accused of incurring racial dis
grace" by having relations with
Aryan girls.
The onslaught continued with
equal vigor in the South, suddenly
crystallizing in intensified form
when the Munich Beobachter
prominently listed scores of SINH
lar cases.
BOycOtts Continue
The newspaper published the
name of one Jew supposedly sent
to a concentration camp.
Boycotts continued in leading
cities and reports from all over
the country disclosed numerous
new arrests of Jews.

membership of Willie zeyn, a.

activities of Catholic youth or

When the Saarlanders cast their
vote in. the referendum which re-
stored the territory to Germany
after 13 years of League of Ma
tions rule, Chancellor Hitler prom
ised their personal lives and re-
ligious leanings would not be in
terfered with.
The German government today
filed formal protest with the
United States Government against
the action of a group of New York
communists in tearing down a
Nazi flag from the mast of the
liner Bremen in New York harbor.
The protest was made in a
note delivered to the State De-
partment by the German Embassy
on instructions from Berlin.
The note protested against de-
Element of the German Nazi flag.
It based the protest on the
grounds that there was not suffi-
cient police protection at the dock
to prevent the Communists from
creating a disturbance and board
ing the ship. 1t also expressed
the hope that adequate police pro-
lection would be given German
vessels in the future.
Called "UnfOrtunate"
The German protest was made
despite the fact that the State De
partment had purposely described
the incident as ''unfortunate" last
Saturday. The incident occurred
Friday night, prior to the Bremen's S
departure for Europe.
In commenting upon it the next
day, Acting Secretary of State Will
bur j. Carr said it was "unfortu-
nate" that private individuals in
this country should mistreat the
flag of any nation with which the
United States was at peace.
Germany's protest was expected
to result in the State Depart
ment's making a more formal ex-
preston of regret.
However, the State Department
withheld action pending a
thorough study of the circum-
stances which led to the incident.

"Turkey in the Straw" used as
the subject matter of a rhapsody
by Huffer, was one of the high
points of the concert last night
played by the United States Navy
Band, under the direction OF Lieut..
Charles Benter. An especially
large audience filled the Capitol
steps and overflowed ali over the
lawn in front.
Somehow the concert was all
The more enjoyable because the
music was interspersed with the
occasional sounds of rnirth of the
many children present with their
parents. The inaudible signs OF
relief of the many mothers who
were thus able to find Surcease
from the home duties which are so
trying on a hot day, permeated
the atmosphere and seemed to
make the music sweeter. There
were no lorgnettes present to stare
down the antics of the children.
If they felt like improvising a
dance step to the music, every
body thought it was cute.

full assurance that Mr.. Harmati

The themes shown above are
taken from the first or allegro

the dreamy first theme accom-

the violins introduce the second

BRUSSELS, Aug. 81. (UP)-
A line of Borrowing Belgians more
than a mile long filed slowly past
the coffin of their dead queen,
Astrid, last night, as her body lay
in state in black-draped Laecken
palace.
The young queen, 20, and the
mother of three children, was kill

husband, King Leopold III lost
control of their automobile and
she was dashed against a tree.
The body, in a double casket
lined with lead, showed little sign
of the terrible accident except a
bruised left temple. 1t was shroud-
ed in white, with few lilies
clasped in the still white hands.
The queens funeral will be held
Tuesday in the Cathedral of st.
