ITALIANS STRIKE
AT WORLD JEWRY
Intermarriage Is Forbidden.
Economic Restrictions
Are frightened.
Ps the Associated Press.

=
ROME, Oct. Italy struck at
world Hebrewism" as the "inspirer
of anti-fascism" today by forbidding
intermarriage Of Jews and Italians
and restricting Jewish economic ac-
tivity.
The Fascist Grand Council laid
down the anti-Semitic regulations in
series Of orders for defense Of the
Italian race" which evidently were
imbued with the spirit of empire.
Many Of the new restrictions were
directed against Jews, but the policy
was drafted on broad lines to affect
african, Semitic and other races"
than Italian.
The Grand Council declared the
necessity for race consciousness" to
be urgent "since the conquest of en-
pire," and called for quantitative and
qualitative betterment of the Italian
race.
TWO Concessions Made.
1t made two concessions to Jews in
line with Premier Mussolini's promise
of moderation in his speech at Trieste
September 18, exempting Jews who
had served the country meritoriously
in war and holding out the possibility
OF sanctuary for Jews in Ethiopia.
The mixed marriage ban forbade
union of Italians and African, Sc
mitic and other races" and marriage
of civilian and military employees of
the state to foreign women of what
ever race" Other Italians were re-
quired to have the interior min;stry's
permission before foreign marriage.
Some concern was expressed in Vat
ican circles over the possibility the
Fascist regimes new marriage edicts
would conflict with the church's right
to perform marriages.
Hope was expressed that the Rome
government in its enforcement of the
prohibition Of marriages between Ital-
Aryan or alien races would conform
with the concordat OF 1929 between
the Vatican and the Italian state.
Special economic and political re-
strictions prohibited Italian Jews from
belonging to the Fascist party, owning
or managing business firms employ
ing more than 100 persons, owning
more than SO hectares 123.5 acres)
Of land, or entering Italys military
services.
Further Jewish immigration was
banned and expulsion of "undesirables"
was supported. This referred to the
cabinet decree Of August /, ordering all
Jews who have settled in Italy since
January l, 1919, to leave the country.
Census figures published two days ago
said there were about 10000 Jews in
Italy.
Moderation Claimed.
At Trieste, MussoIini stated the
world would be surprised at the mod

ment-given decree powers.
So insistent was M. Daladier that
he be allowed to work "in calm and
silence" that he threatened "neces-
sary punishment" if newspapers re-
fused to halt discussion of possible
measures dealing with the country's
economic life.
Press Statement Published.
The entire Paris press published
the statement, read by NJ Daladier
personally to assembled newspaper
representatives, without comment, but
many papers continued to analyze
various measures they thought open
to the Premier.
Some few papers commended the
statement. The conservative Figaro
suggested France needed a special
board of censors to control news and
editorial discussion in periods Of
international tension"
M. Daladier indicated it would be
some time before his financial de-
crees would be ready for publication.
Some observers placed the probable
date as late as November /.
Fight Among Socialists.
On the political front, an internal
fight developed within the Socialist
party over approval of "the peace of
Munich" which gave Adolf Hitler parts
of Czechoslovakia.
The party voted as group in the
Chamber of Deputies for M Daladier's
foreign policy, but yesterday at a
meeting of the Permanent Admins
trative Committee they split almost
in half.
On the first vote on a motion con-
demning the government, the COM
mite voted IS for and IL against,
with 4 abstentions.

The local American League for

itself to carry out a peoples boycott
of Nazi German goods in a statement

proposed in his speech in Chicago last
year. The statement advocated an
immediate quarantine through Sec
ton 33S of the tariff law.

BY BOB ADDIE

Bronko Nagurski, who made an
honest living as q professional
football player before joining the
wrestling ranks, will place his
title on the line in q match with
Chief Chewacki at Turner's Arena
Thursday night.
Nagurski Is one Of the many
claimants Of the wrestling cham
pionship and is recognized in New
York as the title-holder. Bronko
won his title from Dean Detton
who won it from Ali Baba who won
it at a bingo game. Instead Of
carrying the ball, Bronko devotes
his football talents to tackling
when engaging in an epic mat
struggle.

Chewacki. The Chiefs last ap-
pearance almost evoked the riot

and evolved the unique method
Of grabbing his opponent with
both hands around the windpipe
and shaking like q cocktail.
Nagursh doesn't approve Of such
primitive punishment and should
Chewacki indulge in repeat per.

PITTS CAGERS,
BOXERS Invade
D. C. SATURDAY

Pittsburgh's powerful Panthers
come prowling into town this week,
which means that one Of the most
colorful college organizations in all
branches Of sports will be on deck
Saturday for basketball in the
afternoon with Georgetown, and
for boxing in the evening with
Catholic University.
REGARDLESS Of the strength ct
Pitt teams, they pack more color
than an artists palette.
This year, the Panthers are hav-
ing a lean year in basketball. Usu-
ally at this time Coach Doc Carl
son, the red haired medico who
feeds his team ice cream at odd
hours Of the day, is far in front in
the Eastern Conference Basketball
League, but this campaign it Is
slightly different.
NEED VICTORY
The PantherS are dogging Tenn.
pie for the loop lead and unless
Pitt turns in a fast one Friday
night and belts the Owls there is
little hope Of the smoketown team
successfully defending its title this
season.
Pitt, with a senior quintet, has
been defeated in league competi-
ton by Georgetown and Temple on
its home floor. Smarting under
these backyard setbacks, the Pan
thers will be angry fellows to cage
in these return games. Should
Pitt beat Temple Friday and then
turn the tables on Georgetown, 1t
will throw the conference race into
a bedlam that may bring about a
series of playoffs. The Pitt-George-
town game is billed for Tech High
gym Saturday afternoon with the
tap at 2:30 o'clock.
But in boxing the Panthers be-
lieve they have something this
year. The team has been golnS
strong and has defeated Washing
ton and jefferson, West Virginia
and Temple among others. The
Pitt sluggers loom as the only club
who have a chance to knock of
the Cardinal clouters.
STRONG TEAM
The team is much stronger than
last season as results OF matches
to date with rivals met last season
attest. An indication of the Prov
ess of the Panther boxers can be
shown from the record this year
and last against West Virginia Uni
versity. Last year Pitt was out
slugged by the Mountaineers, 6-2.
This year the tables were reversed
by the same score. Pitt defeated
w. and j. last year, SIS. This year
the count was ii, with Pitt for
feiting a bout.
The success Of Pitt this year Is
due to the fact that the team is
veteran one with such standouts
