them through this test. Each man
is ushered into a room alone and
told that his commanding general
will call on him there in few
minutes. 1t is a terrible situation
in which to place simple German
private His behavior is noted in
all its details.
In this way the anthropologlSts
hope to throw light on various OBJ
scure aspects Of human heredity.
Here again, Dr.. Elllngcr says, the
work is carried on with absolute
honesty 80 far as the scientists are
concerned, and they are on their
way to making an enormous con-
tributiOn to science.
What the government may expect
to show from their data-gery likely
something discreditable TO the Jews
is of no concern to them.
His own observations, DR.. Ellinger
said, led him to believe that the
actual intention is to eliminate the
Jewish race in Germany through
the great restrictions placed on those
who cannot escape BY way OF the
machine.

happens to be of value to the gov
ernment, the machine" offers a
way out. Even in the first month
of the war, DR. Ellinger says, he
saw large room packed with these
atiidavits and records of the ey-
aminations. Each case calls for a
bulky pile of papers.
Confidence in Ability.
The universal mother love, DR..
Ellinger says, doubtless causes many
women to swear that they have
been unfaithful to their husbands
when they actually always have
been the truest of wives. But 1t is
hard to get by the watchful eye of
DR.. Abel and his assistants.
They are confident, and so have
assured the government, that they
can pick out a Jew anywhere. A
long list of criteria has been estab-
lished. DR.. Ellinger does not know
the complete list. Blood groupings
are relied on as negative evidence
to establish that person could not
be the offspring of a supposed
Jewish father and hence that the
mothers confession of her infidelity
must be true. Photographs of sons
absent in the army can be sub
mitted, but it has been found that
these often were falsified and severe
penalties now are attached to the
practice.
The afidavits are not always vol
untary. DR.. Abel was asked by the
government to select picture Of the
ideal German girl, the Miss Ger
many" of 1889 He made his selec-
ton of Nordic beauty from photo
graph magazine. He did not know
her name or who she was. The un-
known was held up as the type
from which true Nazis should pick
their wives.
Then it was diScovered-but Off
cially kept quiet-that the young
woman has a 100 per cent Jewish
father.
Claims Were Disproved.
DR.. Abel and his associates were
in disgrace. Their claims that they
could tell Jew anywhere were dis
proved. But not for long. The
girls Aryan mother was forced 10
appear at the institute and put
through brutal cross-questioning
Finally she broke into tears and
admitted that shortly after her
marriage 20 years ago she had car
rod ~, q cacrat q ~ ir u,itI, O ,,,apphar
of the French Embassy staff.
The French taint was bad enough
in the eyes of the government, but
the anthropologists do not claim to
be able to tell the difference be-
tween Aryan races.
Curiously enough, DR. Ellinger
says, DR.. Abel and his fellow an
thropologistS are absolutely honest
men, competent scientists, without
any anti-Jewish prejudice whatso-
ever, and always inclined to stretch
a point to give fellow break if
they can do so without risk TO their
own necks.
They approach their jobs, he says,
much as would a dog fancier in
passing on the breed purity Of a
dog. He has no personal prejudice
against either a hound or a bird
dog and is completely uninterested
in their respective virtues. He knows
there are certain differences be-
tween them and believes he can spot
these differences. He does so, to the
best of his ability, with absolute
cold -bloodedneSs.
In the same way, DR.. Ellinger says
Evening star., 1941-10-12

the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute an
thropologists have no doctrine of
"Aryan superiority" Their business
is to tell the government who are
Aryans and who are not and no
amount of bribery will influence
them. He found them, however,
highly intelligent men. who were in
clined to decide doubtful points in
favor of bastardy, rather than see
some unfortunate lose a job or go
to a concentration camp. But so far
as he could see they were absolutely
above any political motives.
Final Decision With Minister.
The final decision on any case
rests with the minister of the in
terror. He usually accepts the judg-
ment of the anthropologists unless
they have declared a Jew somebody
of great value to the country. Then
flaws can be found in their reason
ing and their decision reversed.
The whole human breeding ex-
pertinent, DR. Ellinger points out, is
being conducted as cold -bloodedly as
would similar experiment by an
owner Of pure stock There is no
question, so far as the scientists
involved in it are concerned, of any
particular disabilities being laid on
any race. A person with a certain
degree of Jewish blood-someWhere
between one-half and one-fourth
when DR.. Ellinger was at the Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute-can marry only
a fellow Jew. Thus, it is held, all
Aryan traits will be bred out in a
few generations and only the pure
Jew remains. The person with a
few Jewish traits can marry an
Aryan under the same theory
the Jewish genes will be dropped out
in a couple of generations.
Theoretically, so far as the
anthropologists are concerned, it
might be the Jews who were con-
sidered superior race.
DR.. Ellinger has no idea how many
of the affdavits have been made to
date but, he says, 1T is common
practice"
1t works simply only when the
father is a Jew and the mother an
Aryan. If the relationships are re-
versed the procedure becomes very
complicated since the Jewish mother
must present the anthoropologists
evidence that she herself was of
illegiJimate birth. Only if her own
mother happens to be living and is
willing to swear that she herself had
a secret affair with an Aryan lover

is stamped out, while trade is re-
sumed with foreign lands, while new
connections in Latin America are
established, while empty Oil tanks
are refllled, while the German people
can be given few square meals
containing some of the luxury foods
they have missed for so long, while
broken divisions and air fleets can
be reconstructed and re-equipped.
Interval May Give Opportunity.
This would be an immense ad-
vantage to Germany if it could be
had now. 1t cannot be had from the
British as long As the hope which
embattled Russia represents TO them
is still in being, nor can it be had
when American aid begins presently
to flow into their island in increasing
volume. But in the interval between
Russian collapse and the appear
ance of large-scale American help,
there might be moment of dis
heartenment which would give the
Germans an opportunity to suggest
peace. At least, there seem to be
evidences that German thoughts are
turning in that direction, however
illusory such hopes may prove in
the event.
From every point of view, there
fore, the Germans must ardently de-
sire to make good their Fuehrer's
boast that the Russian war is over
and that the Red empire is in its
death throes: or at least to do
enough to support such a claim in
the eyes of the watching world,
while regaining some degree of mill
tary freedom of action elsewhere
If they can do this they have gained
at least another chance to win. If
they cannot attain at least this
standard Of accomplishment their
Russian gamble has turned out badly
for the Nazi cause. The next few
days should, therefore, be of very
great importance in determining the
future course of this war.

are the scientists likely to pay much
attention to the story.
Files Are Confidential.
The files Of the anthoropologlSts
are completely confidential-but, Dr.
Ellinger says, some very eminent
Nazis are supposed to be products
Of the machine which establishes
them as AryanS.
The scientists at the Kaiser Will
helm Institute, he says, also are
conducting a gigantic experiment in
human heredity All the twins IN
Berlin, potn ordinary siblings and
identical twins, are required TO re-
port at stated intervals for eXamina-
ton. At birth they are subjected
to rigid physical measurements and
as they grow older the development
of their mind and emotions is
studied.
For this purpose sets OF twin rooms
have been constructed, each identi-
cally alike in the interior One OF
the walls has what appears to be
a large inset mirror. Actually it
is a one-Way window. The scientist
on the outside can see exactly what
is going on in the room.
