Berlin, Nov. 18.-(AP) = Germany
today called home her ambassador
to Washington for a report on "the
queer attitude" of President Roose-
welt and other American leaders to-
ward the wave of violence and re-
strictive measures against Jews in
Nazi Germany
The summons to Ambassador Hans
Dieckhoff was sent just four days
after announcement that United
States Ambassador Hugh Wilson had
been ordered home by President
Roosevelt for report and consultation.
The order for Dieckhoff to return
came as surprise, even to many for
eign office functionaires It was inter-
preted as meaning that Foreign Min
lister Won Ribbbentrop and other mem
bers of the cabinet have found it diff
ficult to believe Dieckhoff's cabled
reports concerning American reaction
to Germany's anti-Semitism.
D. N. B., the official news agency,
said: "The ambassador will inform
the foreign minister in detail con-
corning the queer attitude toward
events in Germany of a domestic ma
ture, which is. apparent from declara-
lions by Roosevelt and other au-
thoritative personalities in the United
States of America"
In press conference Tuesday,
President Roosevelt said public OPP
inion in the United States had been
profoundly shocked by news from
Germany of anti-Jewish violence.

are free to plan their own observances,

The Navy Department has no part in
these arrangements, he explained.
The local committee is preparing q
