 A United Press correspondent rode with the train from the Schleisischer station to the out skirts of Berlin.
 The crowded special coach was a turmoil of bewildered youngsters and hand baggage. A half-doze1l heads peered from each open win dow-at what was for all of them probably the last glimpse of Ber- lin.
 Kindly Conductor Helps
 A little, kindly looking, conductor stumbeld over suit cases left helter skelter in the passage way. A ten- year old with pig-tailS hanging down her back touched his arm and said:
 Please, sir. can't find my suit case"
 We will find it." he answered, reassuringly, it must be in the car some place"
 A Jewish woman accompanying the train to the Dutch frontier said in low tone of relief:
 Thank goodness the conductor is nice"
 An unhappy looking little fellow sat quietly in a compartment.
 My father couldn't come to the station to see me off," he said. "He was arrested last week and I don't know where he is."
 Organized In Hurry
 The transplantation of these Jew ish children was organized in q hurry. Only last Saturday instruc. tions were received by the Jewish community to choose 200 for the trip.
 Arrangements were completed last night. The needieSt children were selected first. The contingent from here was recruited from Berlin, Breslau and Leipzig. The group joining them at the frontier was from Brem, Hamburg and Luebeck.
 The children had received per- mission from the Reich to emigrate. Each was permitted to take only what luggage he or she was able to carry. Each may take one mark across the 1rOnClCI.
 When the train crossed the from tier the children were served hot tea by a Dutch committee. Later in the dayt hey received a hot meal.
 From Orthodox Families
 All the children were from Or thodox families.
 This was necessarily so, because the Orthodox community in Ger many is SO well organized that they could select the neediest children in the short time we had at our dis poSa1," an organizer said.
 However, in the next group we expect to take children of Christian and reformed Jewish families as well. There was no discrimination whatsoever along the lines of re- ligion."
 In the train the children were supervised by Mrs. N. Nankivell, an English woman and Mrs. Debussy, a Dutch woman.
 More privileges were withdrawn from Jews today by decree pub- lished in, the official gazette. It empowered provincial authorities throughout the Reich to:-
 New Restrictions
 'Tmpose restrictions on German Jews or Jews without passports who will not be permitted to enter cer- tain areas or show themselves pub- licly at certain times"
 The law probably will be imposed in connection with parks, play grounds and other public places. Il was expected to be used for pro- vincial and national holidays such as Saturdays "Day of German Soli- darity."
 Heavy fines or imprisonment were provided for violations.
 Many municipalities already havl laws excluding Jews N from public facilities such as baths and parks Today's decree, however, appeared to empower provincial authoritie! to determine wheer and when a Jev might appear in public.
 Rudolph Hess Speaks
 Rudolph Hess, chief deputy of tht Nazi party, in a speech at Komatau twice referred to Benjamin Frank. lin as an American president" America seems to have forgotten that 1t had 8 great president Benjamin Franklin-who in g speech before congress warned: Jews are Asiatics. They are ar incessant threat to this country nc matter where they were born or how many generations they are removed from Asia.
 '-The president demanded exclu- sion of the Jews from the corsti' tuition, otherwise within 200 years the Jews would rule and gobble uI the country.
 Two hundred years have not vel passed but courageous American; admit the Jews already today art about to gcbble up the Omitted States"
