BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The flower OF
Nasid0m's leadership today became
4 corps Of volunteer coin box rat.
tiers on behalf OF Germany's winter
relief fund.
This Is "the day Of national soli-
darity" on which every German,
rich or poor, Is expected to make 4
sizable contribution for Germany's
needy, Who are said still to exist
Aplenty despite the elimination Of
unemployment.
It will be the nations first Jew
free day" for, between noon and 3
pm. when government and party
biswiss patrol the streets with their
collection boxes, all non Aryans
must remain within their homes.
Jews Excluded From State.
The order was founded on the
Nazi viewpoint that Jews are not a
part of the German state and there
fore are not entitled to participate
in the solidarity" movement.
The coin-collectors included cabi-
net members headed by Field Mar
shall Hermann Wilhelm Goering and
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels, diplomats led by Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
party pillars such as DR.. Alfred
Rosenberg, editor of Chancellor Hit
1er's Munich newspaper, and top
ladies such as EMMY Goering and
Magda Goebbels.
Places assigned to these leaders
are Berlin's choicest: In front of
the leading hotels, on the historic
avenue Unter Den Linden, along
the fashionable KurfuerStendamm,
at busy Potsdamer Platz-wf1erever
traffic is busy and likely to rich,
one will see some nationally known
figure admonishing people to give.
Rivalry among the Nazi leaders
was such that their staffs had been
busy for days planting" contribu-
tions in advance.
Example Of Architect.
Here is an example:
One modest architect, who re-
Gently had been given some gov
ernment contracts under Hitlers
program of rebuilding the German
capital, was called yesterday on the
telephone.
Some one from the office Of the
building inspector. Gen. Albert
Speer, asked How much will you
give on Saturday."
The architect scratched his head
and replied after some hesitation:
We'll, III make 1t 100 to $50 marks
tabeut $40 to soO)'
At which the voice at the other
end OF the wire roared: "A hundred
and fifty? Nonsense We expect 4
check for 500 tabout 1900 from
you tomorrow.
The architect sighed to friends:
What could do? II 1 don't cough
up, that's the end Of my contracts" I"
Schacht q Leading Collector.
DR.. Hjalmar Scf1scht. president of
the Reiehsbank, usually proves one
of the best collectors on the day of
national solidarity.
It Is not the attention attracted
by his high collar that makes him
successful. He canvasses Berlins
leading bankers In advance and
makes sure their big contributions
drop into his coin box.
With the weather clear and warm.
there was little doubt this years
collecti0n-with Austria and Sude-
tenland ineluded-would far exceed
last years total of nearly 100000
marks tabout $4,000, ,OOOJ.
AS in other years. journalists.
racers. actors. actresses, university
professors, radio speakers and other
celebrities will help swell the army
engaged in the worlds greatest coin
box solicitation.
Some collectors have intimated
they would have special stunts to
attract the crowd and make it open
its purses.
