White House Officials
Doubt Help Is Possible
By the Associated Press.

6S bHe Associated PreSS.
White House officials expressed
doubt today that there was anything
the President could do to aid the
907 Jewish refugees returning to
Europe on the liner St. Louis after
being refused admission to Cuba.
They said the refugees from Ger
many had no passports or visas for
entry into the United States and
that this Government followed the
rule of permitting immigrants to
enter in the order of their applica-
tons and according to quotas fixed
by law.
Mr.. Roosevelt had received no
appeal for help from the homeless
people, it was said Should one
arrive, it was indicated it would be
referred in routine fashion to the
immigration Bureau in the Labor
Department..

W7 Jews on Shin
Renew Appeal 10
Roosevelt for Aid
German Liner Reported
Setting Course Back
To Germany
By the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, June Their aim
less Odyssey apparently ended, GOT
Jewish refugees were reported on
their way back to Germany today
aboard the liner St. Louis, which
wandered along the Florida coast
for five days while welfare agencies
sought to gain permission for them
to land in Cuba.
Their hope crushed by the Cuban
government refusal for the second
time to give them asylum, the vic
tins of one of the Strangest sagas
of the sea renewed an appeal to
President Roosevelt for last-minute
intervention.
Help them, Mr.. President, the
900 passengers, of which more than
400 are women and children" a
Passenger Committee wirelessed
from the big German liner.
Course Set for Europe.
The ship reported to Tropical
Radio shortly before midnight it had
set its course for Europe. The
final decision apparently was made
reluctantly by Capt. Wilhelm
Schroeder, for few hours before
it was flashed ashore the vessel had
reported it still was bound toward
-Cuba. The ships master reported
before leaving Havana Friday he
feared mass suicides or passenger
mutiny if the vessel set its course
for Germany again.
The St. Louis left Hamburg May
Is with the refugees, many of whom
hoped to land at Havana and eventu-
ally emigrate to the United States.
Cuban President Federico Laredo
Bru asserted the steamship company
had been told not to bring them there
and ordered the ship to sail, threat
ening to tow it to sea with a gum
boat If 1t did not leave.
Cruised Aimlessly.
Friday the St. Louis moved out
of the harbor. Sunday it anchored
off Miami Beach for two hours,
the heartsick Jews getting their
first view of the palm trees and
towering hotels of Miami and the
United States they longed to enter.
Until Monday the ocean liner
cruised aimlessly about. Then hope
was buoyed high by conditional
offer by President Bru for the pas
. sengers to land on the Isle of Pines
and live virtually in concentration
camp until their fate could be set
tied He set a deadline for noon
yesterday for welfare representa-
tives to accept the offer.
The St. Louis. then 60 miles east
Of Daytona Beach. Fla, turned
toward Cuba. But the deadline
passed without acceptance of the
plan, and once again the Jews were
wandering on the sea- until Capt.
Schroeder decided to steer for Ger

Minneapolis citizens who have
expressed interest in the work of
the Urban League have been
greatly pleased at the formation of
its women's auxiliary.
Although much less than a year
old this auxiliary has done much
to win the confidence of the pub
lie by the sincerity of the efforts
made to prove itself a real helper
of the League. The auxiliary has
worked slowly but most carefully
to make its work count most effec-
lively in forwarding the important
effort the League attempts in be-
half of it's people.
A short time ago / wrote of a
visit the auxiliary made to local
bakery which sells its goods to the
colored people of this city but
gives none of them employment.
They found no reason for the
apparent discrimination against it's
people save the fact their people
had made no attempt to overcome
it.
The League with the help of its
auxiliary is expected to take i'm
mediate action to overcome the
difficulties disclosed.
Some time ago the League be-
came deeply interested in a sit
uation that has caused great I'M
easiness throughout the state. The

Legislature of Minnesota in find
ing solution of this matter that
promised to grow more serious the
longer the condition existed.

were authorized to attempt cure.

Of its own. It succeeded in placing
Mr.. N. j. Hunter.
AS further means of showing
its interest some of the League
officials with members of its auxi-
"liaries decided to visit the plant.
Arrangements were made with
the officials through Mr.. Hunter
and on Monday of this week sew
eral automobiles filled with League
and Auxiliary members were re-
ceived at the plant.
What they saw almost beggars
description. Several buildings have
been completed and are now in
operation. And these are as clean
and attractive as the plant of the
bakery visited a few weeks ago.
The course of the river has been
changed so that it now flows into
the plant, leaves all of it's impuri-
ties and is sent on its way. This
is a simple statement of what has
been accomplished.
What the auxiliary saw was a
world of instruments governing
the flow of the river, muddy and
filled with impurities, through the
acres of the plant, where instru-
ments too technical to describe re-
moved all impurities and return
ed it to its reservoirs pure and I'M
defiled.
What has been done has cost
something like $16,O0O,00O and is
worth every cent of it. It has
called for the best brains of the
engineering force who direct it's
activities, some fifty persons, as
sisted by some 25 other people who
do the lesser but not less important
work.
