GERMANS PLAN
TO PAUPERIzE
100000 HEBREWS
Jewish Agency Says Nazi
Decree to Forbid Earn
ed Livings
EMPLOYMENT BY
ARYANS TO STOP

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. (UP)-
The Jewish Telegraphic agency
reported last night from Berlin,
on the basis of Authoritative" in
formation, that the German gov
eminent is drafting a decree vir-
tually forbidding Jews to earn a
living and turning 100000 of
them into paupers.
The Jewish agency's copyright
dispatch said the decree was ready
for PRONUNCIATION, perhaps on Jan
uary l, and would "sweep away
all Jewish manufacturing, banks
and presumably wholesale hous-
es."
at is Indicated" the agency
said, "that the only persons who
will escape the edict are a few
hundred doctors, lawyers and well
fare workers and only enough
tradespeople to cater to Jewish
needs"
"No Jew will be permitted to
work for an 'Aryan' in any ca
pacity, and no 'Aryan' will be per-
mitted to work for a Jew. An in
significant number of business
men will escape the general ban
because the Nazi party does not
wish to force 'Volksgenossen'
(racial comrades) to deal with
Jews. The retention of Jewish
welfare workers is aimed at pre-
serving the machinery of emigra-
ton, which is the ultimate goal of
the drive.
"Nazis do not fear that the vir-
tual stoppage of Jewish economic
activity will have any serious eff
fects on the Reich's economy since
the cream of Jewish enterprises
have already been 'Aryanized.
Two months remain to take over
whatever remaining businesses
are worthwhile, and the remain
der will simply be closed down."

Martin ("Moe") Snyder, right,
divorced husband of Ruth Etting,
famous songstress, was held by
Los Angeles police following the
shooting in her Hollywood home
of Meryl Alderman, whom she
married secretly two months ago.
Above, the one time queen of
blues singers is shown in the hos

kidnapped her husband, and fore
ed him to go to the Etting home,
where they found Miss Etting
and Snyder's daughter Edith.
The singer said Snyder threat
ened t. kill them all, and, when
she defied him, shot Alderman.
An alienation suit against Miss
Etting by Alderman's first wife
is late highlight in the triangle.

RELIGIOUS STRIFE WITH GRAVE
IMPLICATIONS IS WORRYING
NOTWITHSTANDING DIPLOMATS
Concession by Catholics of
Old Austria May Quiet
Situation There
By CLIFFORD L. DAY

LONDON, Oct. 10. (UP)-Re-
iigious strife, with attendant
grave political implications, wor-
ried diplomats of the world today.
The fighting in Palestine, basic
ally an effort by Moslem Arabs to
exclude Jews from lands they con-
slider their home, assumed the pro-
portions Of a small war.
The struggle in Ostmark, the
former Austria, between Catho-
lies and their Nazi rulers took
new turn. A manifesto posted
by the Catholic action indicated
that a truce was imminent a
truce which seemed to imply sur
render to German regulations.
From his summer home at Cas-
tel Gandolfo, the Pope yesterday
in an address broadcast to the
Eucharist congress in New Or
leans, La, said that the majesty
of God was outraged" and asked
Catholics to be a Shining exam
Pile" in these troubled times when
"many things cause fear and anX-
iety."
Italy warned, in a semi-official
newspaper, that formation of
anti-Fascist organizations abroad
by Jews might result in reprisals
against Jews living in Italy.
British troops, aided by 1000
Jewish supernumerary police and
numerous Royal Air force planes,
laid siege to the walled "old city"
OF Jerusalem, held by Arab reb-
els. Firing was almost constant.
Reports on casualties were vague
and meager. Arabs, who have set
up a provisional government"
were reported in control of all
Arab regions of the Holy Land
and despite the efforts of $4,000
British troops there, observers
said the situation was "out of
hand"

to King George here yesterday by
Colonial Secretary Malcolm Mac
Donald and the problem is caus-
ing much concern here.

Hollywood's Gun
Fight Re-staged
In Investigation
Wounded Musician Still
Improves; Snyder Is
Not Talking

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10. (UP)
In the sparsely furnished home of
Ruth Fitting, two police lieuten-
ants and a photographer yester-
day reconstructed a gun battle IN
which the singers first husband
shot and seriously wounded her
"secret bridegroom" Myrl Alder
man.
Like actors performing muir
der mystery for the cameras,
Lieuts. J. R. Stephens and Harry
Maxwell cast themselves in the
roles of Alderman and Martin
Snyder to portray the shooting.
The reenactment was staged Sc
cretly, with Snyder's daughter,
Edith, directing, and a police pho
tographer recording the scene. 5,
Reporters obtained only a quick
glance inside the house. The mea-
ger furnishings includedta piano,
bench, divan and a chair or two.
When someone asked taccetlousiy
whether there was any bedroom
furniture, Miss Snyder, VINO VIII
messed the shooting, burst into
tears.
"Please go away and leave us
alone" she cried.
The house, imposing enough
from the outside, has been occu-
pied by Miss Etting and Alderman
since their secret elopement to
lower California three or four
months ago.
Detectives explained that by re-
enacting the violent scene they
were trying to clear up several
"discrepancies' in the various
stories told by Alderman, the
singer, and Miss Snyder on the
one hand, and Snyder on the
other. They used tape measures
to record the exact positions of

FIRST SIEGE OF CITY
In OVER 8 CENTURIES

JERUSALEM, Oct. 10. (UP)-
Royal Air force planes were add
ed yesterday to the British troops
which laid siege to the walled
"old city" of Jerusalem in an Of
fensive against the Arab rebel
lion that has claimed nearly 1000
casualties since early July.
1t was the first siege of the
Biblical city since Saladin, the
first Ayyubite Sultan Of Egypt,
stormed it's walls $50 years ago
and drove out crusaders under
Richard the Lion Hearted.
Saladin's victory over the Sim
fidels" delivered Jerusalem to
Moslem rule until December 9,
1917, when British troops under
General AIlenby entered the city
without firing a shot and seized
it from the Turks. :,
The Arabs entrenched behind
the crumbling walls first built by
Solomon were virtually encircled
last night and were under the
splattering machine-gun fire OF
1000 British troops and 1000
Jewish supernumerary police.
The British troops, under COM
mand Of British High Commission
err Sir Harold MacMichael, held
positions atop the government Of
fees dominating the old city. Air:
planes swept low over the old
city, spotting nests of the Arab
rebels and reporting them to the
military command.
The tower of the government
offices, highest point in the new
city, which spreads beyond the
old walls, became a lookout post
for direction Of the siege.
The tower overlooks the mosque
area, stronghold Of the Arabs. but
the British authorities appeared
determined not to desecrate it by
shooting or occupation.
Virtual martial law was in ef-
feet throughout Jerusalem and the
Official Gazette announced that
the Palestine police force had
been brought under command OF
military authorities.
More than 1000 Jewish super
numerary police, who had been
recruited to protect Jewish settle
ments from marauding Moslem
bands, were brought under mill
tarv control. Instead of passive
duty in repulsing Arab attacks az
hitherto, the Jewish police will
participate in suppression of the
Arab rebellion.
The rebels, part of an estimat-
ed $4,000 organized in four fight
ing units under what Moslem lead
ers call the "Arab provisional gov.
ernment," drove holes in the wall
surrounding the Mosque Of Omar
but British authorities hurriedly
plugged them with concrete to
keep the rebels entrapped.

doesn't furnish a show at ALL It's
more like a class of students, genu-
inely worrying over a serious problem.
And it's vastly to the average Amer
leans credit that O'Mahoney ties
about even with Dies.
Sensible anti-New Dealers, by the
way, whisper that they'd be thankful
if Dies would quit his "side show" as
Interior Secretary Ickes terms it. They
realize that Dies means we'll from
their standpointAtha he's trying to
smear the New Deal. But they don't
like his technique. Their feeling is
that it makes their cause appear silly.
1t provokes such letters to the edi-
tori as one I saw the other day, de-
handing that ered'' suits for depart
ment store Santa Clauses be outlawed
The O'Mahoney-itcs put a cracking
good witness on the stand initially-
Labor Department Statistician Isador
Lubin
How Labor Benefited.
Labor in this country has benefited
by rapid population growth, OOO, 900
or more year in the past, UP to
workers, to compete with one anoth-
er, but it also meant more consum-
ers. Illustratively, for every additional
worker we added three or four depen-
dents, to be fed, clothed and housed.
In short, consumption kept ahead
of production.
l frequently nave heard Chairman
Samuel Dickstein of the House I'M
migration Committee emphasize this
point. It's a suggestion which like
wise has been advanced by o. f.
Baker of the federal bureau of agri-
cultural economies And by Monsignor
John A. Ryan, of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
Lubin, before the O'Mahcney com
mittee, super-emphasized it.
Now, maybe it was all right for us
to clamp down on immigration as we
did about 20 years ago. The fact re-
mains that it checked our numerical
growth in short order In a few years
we shan't be increasing in numbers
in particle. We're not increasing
much now.
It isn't asserted that this neces-
sarily is a bad thing, but it entirely
alters the requirements OF our Geo.
nOnic system.
Representative .Dickstcin, Agcicul-
tural Economist Baker and Monsignor
Ryan have harped on the subject for
a long time, but the O'Mahoney com
mittee, through Statistician Lubin,
was needed to put it into the head
lines.
It hasn't a blessed thing to do with
monopoly.
