 Comment On Ickes
 Though the newspapers did not comment on the exchange between governments. two did comment on Ickes himself.
 The Voelkischer Beobachter, offl- cial newspaper organ of the NaA party, regarded as Hitler's own pa- per, made its comment in the form of a cartoon of IckeS, with the cap- tion:
 'Tckes, the 64-year-old secretary of interior of the United States, who by his anti German intrigues in- tends to poison incurably, relations between the United States and the reich and to provoke 8 breach. We have truly pilloried his machina- tions. We mention, with the feelings he merits, the fact that this favorite of Judah is of German descent"
 This spotting of Ickes as the one man who was poisoning the pure well of German-American relations was believed by many to bet hint that in event of break the Nazis would seek to center the breach on him, rather than on wider issues.
 The LokalanZeiger attacked IckeS because, when the correspondents jokingly greeted him with 8 Nazi salute, he showed his amusemene by threatening to call in the depart ment of justice to investigate them.
 '"The corresponden who put on this harlequinade certainly made Ickes very happy, and we might leave the stupid pastimes of that brainless company without comment had not the whole thing been an in- suit to Germany" said the Lokalan- zeiger.
 Many grotesque things have hap pened in the United States, but this silly prank surpasses even the bad taste which has become standard in certain quarters sThis scene and many others prove that the presi- dents associate seems to have au- thorization to indulge every new provocation to his hearts desire and the Jews pleasure"
