The number of Jews under arrest
throughout Germany was conser-
vatively estimated today at 10000,

lin; those in Central Germany to
BuchWald. near Weimar; those in the
South to DaChau, near Munich.

Press Assails U. S.
An editorial of an important Nazi
newspaper angrily assailed what it
called the concessions of the Amer
lean Government to American
Jewry."
The editorial was directed specific
ally against the United States
Secretary of the Interior, Harold l..
1ckes, and the summons to Ambas-
sador Hugh R. Wilson to return to
the United States.
1t was published in the National
Zeitung of Essen, the newspaper of
Field Marshal Goering who is Sec
ond only to Chancellor Hitler in the
Nazi regime.
The article apparently was writ
ten before President Roosevelts
statement in Washington yesterday
that he personally had summoned
Mr.. Wilson to return for consulta-
tions on the Jewish situation.
Religious Holiday.
1t was religious holiday. the
German Protestant day of atone
ment, and other papers made no
:omment. All government offices and
business houses were closed and
Jews were keeping out of sight until
after the funeral of the Paris En-
bassy secretary, Ernst vom Rath, on
Thursday.
His assassination by Jewish
youth resulted in the anti-JeWish
attack.
Under the headline washington
under Judas order" the National
zeitung editorial said of the Ameri-
can Ambassador trip home:
I'VE in Germany know too well
the circles in the United States
which answer for such maneuvers
to give them too much credit.
"As in all previous anti-German
campaigns OF agitation this time,
too, the American Minister OF In
terror Ickes is at the head of agi-
tation directed against the Reich"
Mr.. 1ckes spoke on Sunday night
radio forum deploring the German
anti-JeWish drive.
Exponent of Jewish Capital"
The paper described Mr.. Ickes as "a
man who openly stands as the ex-
ponent of Jewish capital in the
United States and vouches for jew
ish rights 1t would honor this
gentleman too much to judge him
by reasonable political standards,
inasmuch as from the official side
the sensation-making about the re-
call of Wilson found no confirma-
ton"
