ARYANS WE'D TO JEWS
'UNDESIRABLES'

BERLIN, Nov. rs. (UP)-Po-
lice roundup of Jews in the Reich
gained momentum coincident with
a new wave of Jewish suicides
and the reported government plan
to dissolve Aryan-Jewish mar
riages. Three hundred Jews have
been arrested in Vienna.
Most of these are without ma
tionality or are those whose citi-
zenship is not recognized.
Vienna reports said that more
than 70 Jews died as a result of
the new levy on their fortunes.
Deaths were attributed to suicide,
shock and other causes. 1t is re-
ported here in Berlin that one
of the next anti-Jewish measures
would be q law virtually forcing
dissolution of Aryan-Jewish mar
riages.
The new anti-Semitic decree, it
was said, is expected to direct
courts to grant speedy divorces
to non-Jews in instances of mixed
marriages and will place a stigma
of disgrace upon those "Aryans"
failing to obtain separations after
promulgation of the law.
German "Aryans" who remain
married to Jews would be placed
in the same category as the
Reich's 100000 Jews and would

BOGOTA, Colombia, Nov. %.
(UP)-Angry crowds paraded
Bogota streets last night shouting
for the expulsion from Colombia
of the German minister in retail
alton for discourtesies allegedly
shown Colombian diplomatic rep
resentatives in Berlin by Nazi po-
lice.
The crowds gathered following
publication of Berlin dispatches
that Jaime Jaramillo, Colombian
minister designate, and Rafael
Rocha Schloss, charge d'affaires
of the Colombian legation there,
had been ordered by this govern
ment to withdraw from Germany
in protest against their treatment
by Berlin police. During the re-
cent anti-Jewish riots in the Ger
man capital, Jaramillo and Rocha
were detained two hours by po-
lice authorities for taking photo
graphs of Jewish shops wrecked
by Berlin .mobs. .
The paraders carried placards
which said: -
"The Colombian, minister was
maltreated in Berlin; boycott
German goods; we demand the ex-
pulsion of the German ministe2."
Frequently the marchers halt
ed to shout their demand that the
Nazi. diplomatic representative be
ordered to leave Colombia.
Simultaneous with the start Of
the parade, the foreign office in
formed the German minister Of
orders to Jaramillo and Rocha to
quit Berlin. The instructions, the
foreign office said, were because
of an incident mot in keeping
with the friendly sentiments which
should exist in the relations be-
tween the two countries"
The Colombian note to the Ger,
man minister said the attitude Of
the German government was sun
justifiable."
The minister was reported to
have replied to the foreign office
that the action of the German po-
lice was indispensable to pro-
tect" Jaramillo and Rocha.

Joint Defense
CHAMBERLAIN ENDS
DIPLOMATIC MISSION

PARIS, Nov. 25. (UP)-The
premiers of France and Great
Britain last night concluded two
days of completely satisfactory
consultations with a decision to
pool their air forces and build a
fleet of 10000 fighting planes in
an effort to outstrip the superior
ity of Europe's relationships.
The unified preparations for war
were decided upon against the con-
trasting backdrop of q decision by
France to sign a "no-more-war"
pledge next week with her tradi-
tional enemy across the Rhine,
Germany.
The Franco-German pledge, on
the pattern of Chancellor Adolf
Hitler's anti-war declaration with
Great Britain signed at Munich on
Sept. 80. drew loud praise from
British Prime Minister Chamber
lain and Foreign Secretary Wis
count Halifax at the conclusion
of their Paris consultations.
Chamberlain and Premier Edou-
ard Daladier agreed that despite
their determination to follow up
the four-power Munich accord
with geae4al structure of Euro
pean security, 1T was urgently
necessary to maintain the unwrit-
ten Anglo-French military alliance
without relaxation.
The Anglo-French consultations,
covering FIVE major topics, were
understood to have resulted in:
1. Agreement that belligerent
rights can be granted to the Span-
ish insurgents only within the Lon
don non-intervention committee,
meaning that the Italo-German
supported demand of Generals
simo Francisco Franco for rights
to blockade loyalist ports and
frontiers and lend the war quick
ly' must depend upon the with
drawal of foreign volunteers all
around. instead of merely the 10,-
900 Blackshirts withdrawn by Pre-
mier Renito Mussolini of Italy.
2. The decision for the pool
ing" of Anglo-French fighting
strength in the air.
8. Britain's whole-hearted sup
port of the Franco-German mo
more-war" agreement as another
keystone for the building of dur
able peace in Europe and drafting
of series of questions to be put
to German Foreign Minister Joa-
chin Won Ribbentrop when he Wis
it's Paris next week to sign the
agreement. 1t was understood
that if Ribbentrop provides salts

FIREFICHTERS
RING BLAZE
IN CALIFORNIA
Property Damage Passes 5
Millions; Shirley Tenn
pies Home Safe
SANTA MONICA HAS
THE HEAVIEST LOSS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. %. (UP).
An army of firefighters ringed a
200-mile mountain area last night,
battling to check q series of rag
ing fires which destroyed hun,
dreds of homes and threatened
many palatial estates.
Property damage already had
mounted above $5,0O0,00O and
damage to valuable watersheds
was incalculable. One group of
fire fighters made a stand in the
Santa Monica mountains to pre-
vent the flames from sweeping in
to the famous Bel-Air estates on
the very fringe of Beverly Hills,
Brentwood and Westwood.
In this. general district live such
movie notables as Shirley Temple,
Lionel Barrymore, jeanette Mac
Donald and Gene Raymond, Jim
my Stewart, w. C. Fields, Mary
Astor and Joan Crawford. None
of these homes, however, was con-
sidered in immediate danger.
AS a precautionary measure,
however, studio guards were or
dered to Shirley's home with in
structions to move out furnishings
if the situation became acute:
Shirley and her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Temple, were report
ed to be in Palm Springs. The
guards were sent to the Temple
home after Tom Young, chief of
the goth Century-Fox studio, had
inspected the fire hazard and esti-
mated the blaze was less than
mile away.
Upwards of 600 homes, most Of
them weekend cabins and other
small dwellings, were estimated to
have been levelled by the fires
which ate through $4,000 acres of
brushland in the Santa Monica
and San Bernardino mountains,
and in several mountain sections
of.Ventura county.
Bulk of the property damage
was inflicted by the Santa Monica
fire, which roared almost to the
sea, levelling a three mile row of
beach homes, before it was turned
back.
Among the homes reported to
have been destroyed in this out
break were those of Madeleine
Carroll, sblonde screen charmer;
Producer Sam Woods, Director
Frank Lloyd, and Otto Garlic,
brother of Leo. The flames ad-
vanced almost to the doors of the
sumptuous residences of ]. Walter
Rubin and Virginia Bruce, Rich
ard Dix, Miriam Hopkins and Di-
rector Frank Borzage before be-
ing checked. |
AS the fire whipped back inland
toward untouched stretches of
tinder-like brush, burned over
part of land but spared the build
ings on the ranch of the late Will
Rogers. The late comedians wild
ow, Mrs. Betty Rogers, and three
children, Will, Jr., Mary and Jim,
loaded priceless relics of their ia
ther and furniture into vans and
prepared to leave when the dan
ger was at its height. But later
reports said the fire had been

"This is the fifth time that the
