GERMAN JEWS
STATUS SET UP
BY NAz| EDICT
Decree Ends Many Months
of Study of Most VeX-
ing Problem.

By United Prcss
BERLIN, Nov. 15.-The status OF
the German Jew under the NaZi
Peich was fixed finally today, after
months Of study, by a decree in thi
official gazette. Chief provisions are;
l. Jews can not be citizens. but
only state subjects, and only citizens
may vote
2. All Jewish civil servants must
resign by Dec. 81. They. and wal
veterans. will receive pensions or
the regular scale according to rank
Teachers May Remain
3. Jewish teachers in Jewish
public schools may remain in their
jobs pending an exact definition OF
their status.
4 Generally no non-Jew may
r1arry a Jew but there are provs-
ions for waving the rule in special
cases.
5. yam maid servants in jew
ish households may remain in then
Jobs if by Dec. 81 they will have
completed their 3lst year.
s. Foreign Jews resident in Ger
many are subject to the laws; for
eigners generally who are not resi-
dents are not affected. This would
apply AS regards mixed marriages. }
Status Is Outlined.
The decree stipulateS that a Jew
under the meaning of the law IS
one who has one or more Jewish
grandparents, or one married to a
jew at the time what are called
the Nuremberg Jewish laws-the
basis for the decree-were first
issued.
However, until additional final
rules are promulgated, citizenship
will be permitted persons who have
not more than two Jewish grand
parents
AS to the marriage laws. in GER
tain circumstances an exception
may be made to the ban on mixed
marriages. In such cases a spe-
clal permit must be obtained from
Wilhelm Prick, minister of interior
or Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitlers dep
uty as leader of the Nazi party.
Factors to Consider
Factors to be taken into consid-
Grafton in an appeal against the
mixed marriage ban will include the
personal appearance of the appli-
cant. the length of residence of his
or her family in Germany, and the
possible war service of the applicant
or the applicants father.
In event one applicant for a
mixed marriage permit is a for
eigner, the ban will not be auto
matte but Prick must be con-
suited.
Hitler has blanket power to make
an exception in any case of mixed
marriage.
Marriage Provisions
AS regards marriage provisions in
general the decree sCipulates that
marriage ought not to occur where
the expected progeny may endanger
tthe purity of German blood
AS for "Aryan" maidservants in
Jewish homes, concession has
been made The original Nurem-
berg law, which is applied under to-
days decree officially, specified that
no "Aryan" woman of less than as
years could work in a Jewish home.
The decree is signed by Hitler,
Prick, Hess and Franz Guertner
minister Of justice.
Issuance of rules for application
of the laws ends months of uncer-
tainty for Jews. They feared the

BOARD DRAFTS
PLAN T0BUILD
SCHOOLS

A survey Of school needs was
under way today as the District
Board of Education moved for
enactment of a second five-year
school construction program to
eliminate congestion.
Responding to an appeal made
yesterday by Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the board, DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
Of schools, announced today that
the needs Of the local school Sys-
TEN will be known by November /.
Five-Year Program Planned
BY that time, the superintendent
said, the annual school house &C
commodations report will be
ready, and on the basis Of this
tabulation of school space and its
relation to enrolment the bill for
D five-year program will be
drafted.
1t is expected, DR.. Ballou said,
that the program will be avail
able for Congress when it meets
the first week in January.
The construction program, as
was the first five-year plan in
1925, will be drawn up to take care
of current congestion and to pre-
pare for anticipated increases in
enrolment, which in past years
have exceeded any previous rec
ordS.
Addressing lie board at its
meeting late yesterday, Mrs.
Doyle, first woman president OF
the board in local school history,
said:
"The time has come when
the Board of Education should
assert itself and make known
the actual needs of the public
school system"
BALLOU SPEAKS
Citing the increased enrolment
this year and the overcrowded
conditions in the school buildings,
Mrs. Doyle was seconded by DR..
Ballou, school superintendent,
who pointed out the need for re-
placing many schools and enlarg-
ing existing buildings.
The first five-year program, be-
gun about 10 years ago, did not
meet with the success hoped for,
officials said, but some much
needed improvements were OBJ
tanned.
Quinn Hits Suspension
Repercussion developed in the
meeting from the boards ruling
on September 18 in the case Of a
teacher at Armstrong High School
accused Of striking a student.
Henry I. Quinn, member Of the
board, opposed the suspension Of
the student, Harry Carter, until
November 80 for calling J. @.
Adams, a colored physical educa-
tion instructor, a boy Scout"
when he appeared at school in a
reserve officers Army uniform.
Adams was punished by a 90-day
suspension for striking the boy.
Mr.. Quinn held the boys action
was only a childish prank and
blamed the teacher for losing
control of himself" He said
suspension might prove harmful
to the boy and was too severe for
the misdemeanor. The board
adopted a motion to refer the
case to the superintendent for de-
cision after consultion with the
boy and Armstrong High School
officials.
The Board approved the re-
appointment of Charles Degges
aS secretary.

~ ASTBoUND traffic on Fifty-sixth Street
~ jammed at the corner of Park
Avenue, halted by a ruby light.
&@ There was an avalanche of north
south traffic. so that the street vibrated. And
ali the way from Madison 10 Parn the con-
gestion became greater.
The night was al cite, with wind which
stabbed at pedestrians and impelled them to
bunow deeply into overcoat collars. Pro-
vided they had overcoats.
The man who was selling gardenias did not
have one. He was a tall man, reasonably
broad His clothes were neat but threadbare;
his gray felt hat betrayed its age. He carried
long, narrow flower box in the crook of his
left arm, and in his right hand he held two
gardenias, tinfoiled together into corsage.
He took advantage of the red light which
detained crosstown traffic and moved into the
street, tapping on the windows of taxis and
displaying his two gardenias hopefully and
provocatively. But windows remained closed
and passengers Indifferent. Gardenia sellers
infested every busy intersection The girl
in the long, emerald limousine considered
them nuisance and was family annoyed
when the man approached her car.
The window was open just a trife at the
top, and she heard his voice: "Gardenias,
Miss" She sat up straight. Suddenly. The
ermine wrap was no longer snug about her
white throat. She stared through the window
at the shabby flower peddler.
The light flashed green and traffic surged
forward, but the voice of the girl in the
ermine wrap cut through to the chauffeur
She said. Hold it, John" The limousine re-
