Hoover was not keeping all of

Some of the implications of this
were fairly sweeping.
One was wrapped up in Hoover 5

was brought about by Hoover's for
mer secretary of war Patrick Hur-
ley.
Months ago. Hurley urged Hoover
to sit down with Lewis and talk
things out. Hoover dcmnrrcd:
why" he said, "hc hasn't oven
spoken to me for seven years. HUI
ley persisted, however, and finally
arranged a meeting in New York
early this spring, at which Hoover
and Lewis came to fairly definite
understanding.
No hard and fast blueprint Of
program came out OF this. but
it at least demonstrated that a
conservative Republican could map
out a general program for economic
and social action that could win
the support of lcftWing labor

Viewed in this light, Lewis
convention utteranceS in Phila-

He wasn't just getting back at
Roosevelt; he was indicating the
conviction. which he shared with

DETROIT, Aug. 3.-George Still
wagon of Dearborn, Mich, lost a
suit today to regain custody of his
daughter. Linda Ware, 15-year- -old
movie starlet.
Circuit Judge Frank Day Smith
dismissed the suit on technically,
but held that the father was not
entitled to the custody of the girl
because for eight years he had been
satisfied with the care and educa-
ton given her by his brother, Arthur
StillWagon.
II believe it is to the best interests
of the child to remain with her
uncle and aunt" Judge Smith said.
The dismissal of the suit was
based on the invalid service of a
habeas corpus writ. Judge Smith
ruled that since there had been no
legal service of the writ, he had no
jurisdiction in the case.

pie into concentration camps.
Even as the tension among Jews
increased, possibilities for emigra-
zion grew fewer from month to
month. Not only was one country
after another closing its borders
to them, but within Germany it
self the laws governing emigra-
ton became steadily more Oppres-
sive. By now the most that these
unfortunate people could take out
of the country with them was on
ly tiny fraction of their possess
iOnS-and these i'm the form of
clothing and household goods.
Jewish advisory boards, created
to extend practical aid to emf
grants, were now able to do hard
ly more than extend spiritual con-
ISOLATION.
One life after another was
ruined, one home after another had
to be vacated forever. The toll of
suicides mounted frightfully; so
did the number of laconic letters
which went out from concentra-
ton m ps to inform relatives
that, upon payment of a certain
fee, they could claim the ashes of

five years, had had to bear the

There was not a Jew in Germany
who failed to see clearly that
there was the beginning of the
end.
The NaZi machine was brought
into play with sadistic cruelty. At
first news of the assassination was
given no more than routine treat
ment in the press. But few hours
later the story was spread across
the front page of every newspa-
per, topped by gigantic headlines.

If there is any reason for an
eyewitness to recall the pOgrOms
of November, 19S8-as the writer
does in the fOllOwing-it is be-
cause the events were the most
tangible expression to the world
of the new German barbarism.
Informed Jewish circles had
been convinced since March, 1898,
that when the time was ripe an
other, and this time crushing, blow
would be directed at German Jew
~. The issuance of one anti-Sem-
itic decree after another-they al
ready totalled more than $50 =
gave notice of the approaching
climax. During the preceding
months DEGREES had been passed
requiring registration of Jewish
fortunes, dismissal of all remain
ing Jewish doctors and attorneys,
elimination Of Jewis h travelling
statesmen, barring of 'cinemas and
public b a this to Jews, recall of
Jewish passports, posting of ghet-
to signs on Jewish businesses and
branding of Jewish-owned cars by
means of special license plates.
But most important had been the

mich beer cellar" said not one
word about the murder. Even the
radio, that evening, restricted it
self to a factual account of the Oc-
currence. Soon there rose the hope
that the Nazis, triumphant over
the Munich pact, would refrain
from drastic "reprisals."
But the morning papers of Nov
ember 8 destroyed this dream. The
propaganda machine was in full
motion. The first visible sign of
the approaching catastrophe was
sudden ban on all Jewish publ
cations, which at that time includ-
ed three large weekly newspapers
one of them more than a hum
dred years old-about Is smaller
community journals and number
of well known cultural magazines.
1t must be emphasized that sup
preston of the Jewish press was
a blow at the symbol of German
Jewry's unshakeable will to sur
Vive. The editors were ordered to
appear before the GestapO at 8
o'clock on the morning of NOvem-
her 10. Banning of the press, the
Jews fear of exchanging infOrma-
ton by telephone because of Ges-
tapO supervision, and the fact that
the general press was forbidden
to report events concerning Jews,
left Jewry completely in the dark
as to what was happening. No Jew
dared in these hours to seek in
formation from Jewish Organiza-
tons; the fear of arrest by the
GeStapO was too great a deterrent.
The panic that overlook German
Jewry can only be appreciated by
those who themselves have been
victimized by the methods of the
Third Reich. Conditions in the con-
centration camps have been made
known throughout the world and
need not here be repeated. That
every individual sought to evade
this fate is clear.
Characteristic of GestapO meth
DDS was the treatment of the jew
ish journalists. After having been
recalled to the GestapO on Friday
morning, the newspapermen were
held for three hours and were then
dismissed. with the IacOnic state
ment, cynically' delivered, tina t
their publications were suspended
for three months. (The three
months have now become two
years and the papers are still
banned.) Then, after they re-
turned home, the same police fol-
lowed and took many of them
away to concentration camps.
The wave of arrests lasted until
November IA. In most commune
ties all adult Jewish males were
arrested. In the larger cities this
thoroughness could not be equalled.
What did decent upright Ger
mans think of the pOgrOm? Per-
haps the following extract from
the letter of nOn-Jew, addressed
to a friend of the writer, answers
the question:
