He asked Acting Secretary of
State Sumner Welles and William C.
Bullitt, Hugh Wilson and William
Phillips, Ambassadors respectively

White House officials declined to

they would touch on the European
Jewish problem. the new Paris
Berlin accord and continental arma-
| ment programs.
The President talked with the
same group an hour and a ha{f YES

OF the diplomats earlier during his

DEGREES announced Monday by Eco
nomics Minister Walter Funk may
affect American property rights.
The embassy was said to have
asked Washington for instructions.
Since publication of the Funk de-
crees United States officials have
been trying to obtain official German
Interpretation of them.
Funk,s DEGREES made certain Sec
tions of the laW-forbidding Jews to
acquire, pawn or sell precious metals
and jewels without official permits
and requiring them to deposit all Sc
curities in banks-applicable specif-
ically to German and stateless Jews.
No Distinction in Realty.
But American officials found no
such distinction in the sections for
bidding Jews to acquire real estate
and empowering German officials to
compel Jews to liquidate or sell their
real estate and industrial enterprises
Therefore it was believed that
American Jews owning property in
Germany might be affected.
1t was understood the British En-
baSsy had called attention of the
German foreign office to Londons
apprehensions lest British interests
be involved.
Meanwhile Das Schwarze Korps,
organ of the S. S. elite Guards, q,
demanded revision of the Nurn-
berg racial laws of 1885 so as to
make women as we'll as men liable
to punishment for extramarital re-
lations between Jew and non-Jew.
The publication declared that
women in such partnerships deserve
the same severe punishment-Simple
imprisonment or penal servitude-
now meted out to the men involved.
Medieval Badge Revived.
Jews doing compulsory labor on
construction jobs in Gaenserndorf,
near Vienna, were ordered to wear
on their right arms yellow badge
similar to the badge worn by Jews in
the Middle Ages.
The order was issued by Joseph
Buerckel, Nazi commissioner of
Austria. to avoid contamination"
of Aryans who recently have been
put to work with the Jews.
The Jews working on the project
have been at Gaenserndorf since
the anti-Semitic campaign started
November 10. Most of them were
handicraftsmen and they had been
conducting q camplike school for
young Jews learning trades pre-
paratory to emigrating.
