GERMAN REPLY
TO U. S. PROTEST
ON JEWS WAITED
Nazis Also Rebuffed on
HeIium, Lottery

many's appropriation Of property
of all Jews in that country.
The protest, lodged with the
Nazi officials Monday by Ameri
can Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson
in Berlin. told Germany the ex
preparation decree violates Ger
many's treaty Of friendship with
the United States insofar as 1t
affects American Jews.
REPLY ASKED
I'm view of the scope and
purpose of the decree and its
discriminatory character" the
note said. 1.-The Government OF
the United States enters EN-
phatic protest against its appN-
cation to American citizens.
1T feels that on further con-
siceration of the matter the
German government will agree
with the considerations set forth
above and will give early assur-
ences that the measure will not
be applied to American citizens.
In view of the urgency which
this matter presents the Gov
eminent of the United states
would appreciate an early reply
from the German government.
30 NATIONS TO MEET
In making the text OF the note
public, the State Department an
nounced a conference of about 80
nations will be held July 6 In
EVANS, France, to appoint an
inter-government committee to
work out a plan for the repatrla-
ton of political refugees from
Germany and Austria.
Germany got another rebuff
from this Government when it
was told President Roosevelt had
refused to override the refusal OF
Secretary of the Interior Ickes to
approve the expectation OF ten
million cubic feet Of helium to
Germany for initiation Of that
country's new commercial zeppe'
lin.
ECKENER HOPEFUL
The White House said the Presi'
dent found he lacked jurisdiction
and the decision rests with the
National Munitions Control Board
The board will hold another meet
ing on the issue. IckeS is mem
Der of the board. He intends to
continue his fight at this meeting
against the sale Of such a huge
quantity of helium to Germany
Ickes argues the congressional
act authorizing the sale and
export of helium. on which this
country maintains a WORLD
monopoly, prohibits shipment OF
quantities of military Importance
He said Germany's contract Is Of
military Importance.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, Germany'S
Zeppelin expert, here to urge con
summation of Germany'S contract
| for the helium, expressed the hope
that the decision may not be
final" The contract had beer
approved by the State Department
and Munitions Control Board be
fore Ickes refused to sign the
contract. Under the law, the
Secretary of the Interior mus
sign all contracts for the sale Of
| helium.
LOTTERY PLAN HIT
Germany still faces another
rub from the American Govern
ment-this time from the Post
Office Experimentation soliciting
chances in the United States on
State lottery issued in the name
of the third Reich and its leader
Adolf Hitler" Lotteries are pro
hibited by the American poSta
regulations.
On the lottery sales letters wa!
received by a Washington resi-
dent from August STREET, of Leip
zig, who identified himself a!

than it was in more prosperous
years. Present railroad Difficult
ties are due to the simple tact
that present costs Of operation
are higher than the industry
can carry under existing condl'
tons.
In an attempt to increase
revenues, the railroads aSKeo
the ICC for permission TO m
crease freight rates and, IN
Eastern territory, for permlS'
sion to increase passenger fares
The freight rate increase al
lowed was inadequate. and no
increase was permitted in East
ern passenger fares. Every Ell
fort has been made and is being
made by the railroads to IN
crease their traffic. But, because
of general conditions, trafnc mas
continued to decline: ooo
WORSE OFF THAN IN 1882
In 1882 the employees Voiun-
tarily accepted a wage deouc'
ton Their action was a great
help in enabling the railroad
industry to survive the depres-
sion, It also contributed sub
stantially to the recovery OF the
,,,ho1e country. which followed.
what the railroads now propose
will leave the employees with
higher wage rates than resulted
from the deduction voluntarily
accepted in 1882, although the
railroad industry is now worse
off than it was at that time.
between July l. 1884, and
April /, 1885, wages were re,
stored to the level existing prior
10 the 10 per cent deduction
and on top of that, came the IN
creases of August and OCTOBER
1887.
EXPECTATIONS VAIN
These increases were made
with the anticipation that the
business improvement VIII c r
then existed would continue
That anticipation has not beer
realized. On the contrary, bust
ness has sharply declined.
mThe current level of railway
wages cannot be maintained
under existing circumstances
Obviously. the condition of the
railroad industry, the general
situation of business, and the
factors which must determine
rates of pay, made a reduction
both necessary and justified"
The carriers action brought II
explosive railway labor situate
into sharp focus again.
LABOR DEFIANT
When the roads first announce
their intention of imposing a ps
cut several weeks ago, Geori

Also Will Push City
Parking Lot Program

A three-point program was out
lined today by Commissioner
George e. Allen, to occupy his at
tention until September /, when
he will relinquish his public office
to enter private business.
Principal item he plans is ex-
pansion Of the local Works Prog.
ess Administration program. Con-
fident the Administrations pump
printing" program will clear con-
greSsional hurdles, Allen, who is
local WPA administrator, said he
will strive to gain new projects of
q lasting nature for the District.
FOR PARKING LOTS
Next in line on the Allen slate
is a proposal for establishment
and operation of municipal park
ing lots. He reiterated his belief to-
day that city operated parking
lots was the only solution for traf-
fic problems in congested areas.
He recalled deeper inroads on
available curb parking spaces have
been made by the District in re-
cent years and added something
must be done for the motorist."
The third item on Aliens pro-
gram is an expanded public health
program for the District. He wants
to see this setup in the coming
District budget.
