In One Month Germany Up- sets Their Complete SO-
 ciaI, Economic Life

(United Press Stan COrreSpOndent) Berlin, Dec. 10--(UP) - The climactic phase of a Nazi cam paign to eliminate Jews from Ger man life is one month old. What are the results? What is the con- dition of Jews still in the reich? Foreign observers seeking answers to those questions start with the death on Nov. 9 of Ernst Vom Rath, German diplmat who was assassinated in Paris by young Polish Jew, Herschel Grynszpan, whose parents had been driven from their home at Hanover.
 Two days of footing and organ ized destruction of Jewish property by Nazi bands set the stage for an official campaign of oppression de- signed to drive Jews from Ger many.
 Today, few Jewish shops have re-opened in an effort to find an officially ly-approved buyer for their stocks before they are forced to close their doors finally three weeks from today.
 Many other Jewish shops have been "aryanized" or are doing a little business by virtue of the fact that they have signs in their windows announcing: Sold to aryans subject to approval of the authorities"
 Several thousand of the 50,O0O Jews arrested during the first week of the campaign have been released from concentration camps are per- mitted to return to their homes -usually with a warning to leave Germany as quickly as possible. There are few arrests these days. Occasionally the wife of Jew who disappeared" during the first days Of the anti-Semitic campaign an- swers the front door bell and finds man standing there. He hands her small package and says:
 These are the ashes of your hus- band. There will be three marks charge, please"
 That scene has occurred a num- Der of times, but in general there are few deaths due to mistreat- ment of Jews so far as can be learned. The wave of suicides which occurred early in the anti-Semitic ] drive has died down.
 Physically Jews are not now sub- jected to the constant terror which gripped them month ago. They are not in physical danger now ii they stay away from the places they have been told to avoid, in- cluding principal streets and build ings of Berlin.
 But the series of decrees during the last month and those which are certain to come in the next few weeks is "ghetto-izing" them as surely as did the massive chains which 150 years ago were stretched each night across streets leading into the Jewish quarter of Frank fort-on-Main.
 The object of the campaign is not to herd them into ghettos Nazi spokesmen admit that the campaign is designed to create such consternation abroad that foreign nations will be forced to provide a refuge for mass emigrati of 600,000 Jews still in the reich. The Nazis believe this can be achieved within two years.
 Meanwhile, Nazi officials say that the Jews will not Starve. One party spokesman estimated that Jews without other means of SUD- port will receive a monthly relief dole of 30 marks ($12) or about 40 cents a day.
 Leaving cost of rent aside, they will have one mark a day for food and clothing. A loaf of gray bread costs AZ pfennigs out of the 100 pfennigS in a mark. One egg costs 12 or 13 pfennigs. The cheapest cut of beef costs about 30 pfennigs pound. Butter costs one mark 60 pfennigs a pound.
 Some Nazis point out that even if there are no future measures banning Jews from certain streets most Jews 'in the future will hard ly have enough money to keep apart mentS in fashionable districts" The result will be to drive Jews into certain well-defined Jewish quar- ters or at least into Jewish houses of the main residential streets. Even if there is no ghetto decree, Jews could not expect to find aryaIl landlords who would take them as tenants.
 Jews at present are forbidden for the moment to nquidate whatever they may own such as securities, jewelry and real estate or if they can get permission to do so they must sell at such ruinouS prices that virtually nothing remains.
 These factors have worked great hardshipS on Jews listed for heavy contributions for the first install ment of the $400, 100000 fine levied on the race as a whole as a re- suit of the death of Vom Rath. Some, unable to raise cash, are plan- ming to declare themselves bankrupt. A month after Vom Rath's death, Jews are social and economic out casts in Germany where some fac tions argue they should be forced to wear a yellow badge. They can do very little except sit and wait for new representative decrees.
