BY EDWARD ". BEATTIE United Press Staff Correspondentl,
 Berlin, October 28. = UP) - Police rounded up Polish Jews to day in Berlin and elsewhere in the Reich for immediate eviction across the border into Poland. Midnight was the deadline for the enforced exodus. The num- Der of Jews affected was not determined immediately, but apparently 1t was many thousands. It was estimated that several hun- dred had been arrested during the night and taken to the Alexander barracks, near police headquarters in the AlexonderplatE.
 Hundreds of others who were not arrested were ordered during the night to report to the foreigners bureau this morning. They were given visas and told to be over the border by midnight.
 Informed sources estimated that 1000 or more Poles were affected in Berlin, while throughout the Reich the figure was much greater, particularly view of the inclusion of Austria in the Reich.
 Many foreign Jews he'd been Ar- rested in Vienna since last night, including Polish, Csechosioyak ana Hungarian citizens, many Of them residents in Austria for years.
 Only Males Arrested
 As fer as could be learned, only males were arrested in Berlin, although 1t was reported from Ros- tock and Dreslau that whole sasni- lies had been arrested there.
 Polish sources said that hundred9 of those rounded up in Berlin had been loaded without baggage into trains ct the sehlesicher station for immediate transport to the border.
 At the barracks where those ar- rested were taken, Jewish mothers, sisters, wives and children of the seized men gathered, weeping. Some carried blankets and bundles of food and clothing for the men, but they were not admitted to the bar- racks,
 It was understood ell Poliah cit- izens in Germany, non-Jewish as well as Jewish, had been ordered by Poland to present themselves to their consuiates before the end Of October for c special stamp on their passports under the Polish law ok last March 2 covering the re-estab- lishment of citizenship by Poles long resident abroad.
 What Law Requires
 The law provided that some Poles might actually be required to re- patriate themselves. Non-compli- ance with the law might result in the loss of citizenship, thus depriy- ing the country where they are re- sident of the right to deport them. This apparently explained Ger many's action before the deadhne.
 All male Polish Jews in Berlin who were not ordered to the for- eigners' bureau were rounded up by police early in the morning and taken to precinct stations.
