NURNBERG, Germany. September
16.-The Reichstag of Adolf Hitler
today relegated Jews in the Germany
of the future to their position during
the Middle Ages.
They may not become citizens, in
termarry with Aryans, have intimate
relations with Gentiles nor even en-
ploy Aryan servant girls under IS
years of age.
The Third Reich Of the future, by
unanimous decision of the 900 Hitler
followers who make up the Reichstag,
will be one in which Aryan citizens
who "by their attitude indicate they
are willing and At to serve faithfully
the people and the Reich" will be
separated sharply from "belongers to
the state"
Legislation embodying these points
was passed last night amid scenes
of unexampled patriotic fervor and
appreciation for the course Hitler has
chosen to pursue strictly along the
lines laid down in the original Nazi
program.
Further Changes Seen.
These acts inspired Der Fuehrer' s
followers with the hope that the rest
of the Nazi tenets would be translated
into practical politics, step by step
just as fast as political expedience
permitted.
Before hearing addresses by Hitler
and Gen. Wilhelm Goering the Reichs-
tag itself gave practical expression
Of its belief in the authority Of Nazi
principles.
1t empowered Goering. as leader OF
the Reichstag to summon it into ses-
sion at will until new set Of bylaws
embodying leadership" principles, has
been evolved and adopted.

the prov of the German liner Bremen
in New York last month and the &C
ton Of Magistrate Louis Brodsky in
dismissing five defendants in the case
were considered by observers to have
furnished, in q measure. direct cause
for enactment Of the laws.
Flag Changes Ordered.
One law. effective Immediately,
proclaimed the swastika as the Reich's
national and commercial flag. Black,
white and red were set as the Reichs
colors, with Der Fuehrer to designate
the form Of the Reich war flag and
the Reich official flag.

OF the state, the protection of which
they may enjoy, and citizens-of Ger
man or similar blood-who would be
! allowed to serve the Reich and its
people.
The citizen would be given a Reich
citizen letter making him the bearer
Of citizen privileges. The date for
enforcement of the citizenship Law
was not Immediately fixed.
A third law, entitled protection OF
blood and honor" became effective
today. 1t provided that marriages be-
tween Jews and Germans were for
hidden and such marriages contracted
abroad we're declared void.
Extramatrimonial sexual relations
between non-Aryans and Aryans were
forbidden under pain of penitentiary
punishment. Jews were forbidden tc
engage Aryan help under As years ot
age, with violations punishable by one
year in Jail and fine, or both.
The law provided further that Jews
may not fly the German flag, but only
the blue and white Zionist emblem.
The Bremen and Brodsky incidents
In New York were considered in Nazi
circles to have so aroused Hitler that
he determined to make the swastika
