NAILS SAID TO KILL ONE
JEW FOR EACH GERMAN

BUCHAREST (JTA)-A warm
ing that the Germans will avenge
those killed during the war by
killing one Jew after the war for
each dead soldier was contained
in the Rumanian-language broad
cast from Vienna.
The Vienna broadcasts are at
tempting to incite the Rumanian
population by every means
against the Jews in this country.
These efforts are being supported
by the hundreds of Nazi agents
conducting propaganda activities
here.

Leo Reuss plays the German
Consul in margin for Error" in
Hollywood. Leo Reuss, formerly
a well known actor in Germany,
had great difficulty in getting a
new contract with European the
aires after having left Germany.
When he found that the Austrian
theatres would not give him a
chance, he retired for a certain
length of time, and then reap
peared under the name of Kaspar
BrandhOfer, with a red beard, i'm
Salzburg, claiming to be an Aus
trian peasant with a consuming
desire to become an actor. He gave
a performance before several out
standing directors and Immediate
ly stepped into leading roles for
the Vienna ''Theater i'm der josef
stadt." There he played with enOr-
nous success under a director who,
though he had known him for ten
years, did not recognize him. When
he divulged his secret identity, the
sensation was terrific, because it
proved that a famous Jewish actor
could only play in Schuschnigg's
Austria disguised as an Austrian
peasant!

Waterfront 21z Miles Long FIanked by 15Doeks
 and FIoats

Juneaus deep-water harbor Sit uated on Gastineau Channel eight miles from the main Inside Pas sage" from the States to Alaska, provides a waterway for ocean-go- ing craft of all sizes.
 The harbor is naturally protected on two sides by the mainland and Douglas Island, and partially closed on the north end by the extended base of Mount Juneau which en- croaches on the channel to leave only a comparatively narrow pas- sageway at the upper end Of the 5arbor. This band of water is span ned by the $375,000 Douglas Bridge
 On the south end, from which point the steamers enter and leave he harbor, a huge fill made by waste rock of the great Alaska Ju- neau gold mine extending out into 5he Channel has served to create he bowl-like dimensions of the har- DOT.
 The actual harbor area surround ed on one side by wharves is some two miles across and mile and one-half long.
 Approximately two and one-hali miles of this protected shoreline Is flanked by docks and floats. Oi Is main docks, 10 are equipped to accommodate large craft for load ing and unloading.
