BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 8.-Foreign diplo-
matte quarters were advised today
that the next Nazi anti-Semetic
legislation would decree that exist
ing marriages between Jews and
non-Jews either must be dissolved
or the Gentle partner will be de-
clared Jewish.
In other words, If the non-Jewish
wife Of Berlin Jew declares she
will stick to her husband come what
may, she must share his life In Ber-
Inns shabby Linienstrasse or some
other squalid ghetto street.
AS she will become Jewish from
the moment that she declares her
self unwilling to accept divorce,
these sources said, presumably she
will not be allowed to attend a
Christian church.
Religious Services Barred.
Nor will pastors or priests be per-
mitted to conduct services in ghetto
districts, as Nazis oppose Christian
missionary work.
In many cases non-Jews married
to Jews hold title to such possessions
as family homes. Unless such non
Jews agree to divorce, it was said
property in their name will fall
under the stringent economic min
istry which virtually forbid Jews
to own real property.
The United States Embassy still
was without an answer to its repre-
sentations concerning the possible
effect on American Jews in Ger
many of the new DEGREES issued by
Economics Minister Walther Funk.
Little Affect. ION Americans.
Ofhcials said. however, that prob
ably not dozen cases of resident
American Jews would come up. They
said the only way the embassy would
hear about nonresident American
Jews would be through complaints
either to the embassy or consulate
or to the State Department In
Washington.
As yet there have been no such
complaints. Embassy officials said
1t probably was safe to deduce from
this that nearly all American Jews
assets in Germany have been liqui-
dated since the Nazi regime came
to power in 1893.

Health Week
Gets Under Way
In St. Paul

Names of 1873 persons were list
ed as applicants for the Mantoux
test, a medical method for detect
ing tuberculosis, as st. Paul began
laying the ground work for sus-
tanned drive against the disease
during the observance of Health
Week, May 2 to IA.
Four pastors stressed the i'm
portance of the tests in sermons
on Sunday. The clergymen who
co-operated along this line were:
The Reverends Gerald Hayden, st.
James A. M. E. Church; Lee Har-
ris, Pilgrim Baptist Church; Mark
Gibson, Zion Presbyterian Church,
and Victor Holly, st. Philips P. E.
Church.
An analysis of the registrants by
Miss Margaret Turpin, registered
nurse who is helping direct activi-
ties, showed that women are lead
ing the men, 70 to 55.
Members of the Health Week
Committee, which is headed by DR..
Charles Williams, saw significance
in the fact that the largest number
of persons in any age group listed
is Sc, between the age of, 20 and
20. tuberculosis takes its great
est toll between the years of 1s
and 35, committee members said.
Neither age nor youth seemed
to be a hindrance to registration
since the oldest person to come in
was 70 and the youngest was ten
months. Belief that young moth
ers are vitality interested in keep
ing a close check on the health of
their children was expressed by
Miss Turpin, who said that the
second largest group was 20, be-
tween the ages of 1 and 9 years.
DR.. w. A. Dovorak will be the
speaker at the Halle @. Brown
House on May 6 at p. m. All
tests will also be given at the
House from 1880 p. m. to $3.50 p. m.
The Ramsey County Public Health
Association at II Summit Avenue
is supplying materials.
Last Thursday DR.. M. o. Bous-
field, director of Negro Work for
the Rosenwald Foundation, was
the speaker. Among other things,
he pointed out that persons should
not rely on symptoms before they
suspected the presence of tubercu-
losis. Frequently, said he, the
symptoms appear when the disease
has such a hold on the victim that
cure is long and difficult.

McDOnOugh Could
Have Won
An Editorial
An Editorial

John MeDonough lost the may
or's job in st. Paul by less than
500 votes. It appears John Nc
Donough could have won. He
could have been victorious by the
simple expedient of making a thor
ough campaign in the upper Rondo
and st. Anthony district, where
over 500 colored voters did not go
to the polls.
Mr.. McDonough and other can
didates must learn that Negro vot-
ers react only to the same stimulus
that other voters react to. A meet
ing or two with no house to house
work or precinct work will not get
out the vote in the Negro district
any more than it will in any other
district.
His campaign managers were
largely to blame because they had
no idea how to capture the Negro
vote and they wouldn't let anyone
who did have, operate.
John McDonough could have won
and the Negro vote could have
turned the trick.
