>~<%--t.A1NAE-A A-tAAA q o0R ~ On official answer to Presidents Roosevelt,s staEermen:, if there is one, may be given by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at Duesseldorf Thursday where Ernest Vorn Rath, slain of- ficial of the German embassy in Paris will be given a martyrs fun- eral".
 Officials of the propaganda min istry refused to comment on the Presidents statement. It was ex- pected, however, that, as in the past, NaziS would deeply resent inter ference" in internal affairs.
 German Ambassador Here Stays
 Germany will not recall Alnhassa- ' dor Dieckhoff as an answer to Wil- sons ''recallp the Essener National zeitung, close to field Marshal Will helm Goering, indicated today.
 ''The United States may be as- Sured that Natioi1ai Socialist Ger many is not affected by anti Ger man agitation in the United States and its official reactions.
 Tt has long been the traditional United States policy to create anti German Sentimens by unfair methods to overcome domestic diff faculties.
 'fWilson's trip to the United States may even be useful if thereby the anti-G German campaign is stopped as he witnessed the Austrian Rn- schluss and the Sudetens return to the Reich.
 Hence he is in position to ob- actively report about Germany Newspaper dispatches from Wash ington indicate that Wilson's recall by the United States is conces- sion by the United States govern ment to the Jews"
 Catholic Church Is Next
 The fury of press attacks in- creased today. There was further evidence that the Roman Catholic church may be the next target fol restrictive measures.
 This was forecast by Da: Schwarze Korps, organ of the storm troopers, which said that the "mor. ally corrupt, unpatriotic and crim- inal clergy is neither willing nol able to administer wealth belonging to the German nation"
 It suggested that works of art owned by the church, should bt seized and sold to foreigners, as. serting that the c1ergy will lose nothing to which they have the slightest legal claim"
 Wilson Says Farewell
 American Ambassador Hugh Will. son paid farewell visit to Foreign Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop Many observers believed it might be his last in many months. Some doubted that Wilson would return at all. He leaves Berlin tonight and sails for the United States from Le Havre Thursday. At no tint since the current anti-semitic drive began had the Nazi press reached such pitch of anger.
 "Woe to the Jews if another help CT is paid or melted by them and raises his murderous hand against a German" the newspaper zwol- fuhrblatt said. Mot one will an- swer for a murdered or wounded German, but all!"
 $500, 100000 Jew Funds Seized
 Walter Funk, minister of econ- omics announced that $800,000,000 in Jewish holdings already had been seized by the government. This rep resented nearly one-third of all the Jewish wealth in Germany and is more than twice the collective fine 1 levied on Jews as a whole. But Funk announced a plan whereby Jews were to be compensated with German bonds, and so the seizure was not outright confiscation. The government survey, compiled under decree of last April re- quiring Jews possessing more than 5000 to register their wealth showed 35,802 in that category in Berlin.
 Of this number 1,439 out of Ber- lin's approximate 150,00O Jews have total holdings of $321, Al, $40. From these was expected to come the major part of the fines assessed by the government.
 Streams of Jewish Women
 Endless streams of Jewish women trying to carry on for their van ished husbands in the fight fol visas, flowed through the United States consulate today.
 From a responsible source it was learned that German policy authori- ties informed the American con- sulate Tuesday that certain re- strictions had been relaxed fo, persons under arrest.
 In cases where immigration fa- cilities for arrested persons are as sured release would be ordered" the consulate was informed. This re- ferred to Jews arresetd since tht mass arrests last Thursday
