TTMDEGARDE NEFF, the film star who was
LII discovered glittering in the debris of
the postwar German movie studios, is the
first German actress of note to hit Holly
wood since Marlene Dietrich - though not
quite with the same impact.
She reminds you of Marlene in certain
ways. The same low, sexy voice; the same
general air of lassitude and languor Though,
to be sure, Miss Neff was recovering from
severe virus infection when we interviewed
her - which may have contributed to the
sulky resemblance.

Miss NEFF has not Miss Dietrich's great

Tunisian MosIems Rioi
Against Jews Amid
Poison Plot Tension
BY The Associated Press

TUNIS. Tunisia, June 14.-Riot-
ing between Moslems and Jews
erupted in Tunis today. This
came amid tension over reports
that an attempt had been made
to poison members of the ruling
Bey's family. but the incidents
appeared to have no connection.
Police fired into the air to break
up fighting which began when
some 100 Moslems invaded the
Jewish quarter of Hafsia, smash
ing shops. pillaging and entering
Jewish homes. Two groups of
Arabs did the raiding.
Jewish leaders sent appeals to
the World Jewish Congress to-
night and there were reports the
Jews might set up a formal sys-
tenn of self-defense. About 35,-
600 Jews live in this largely Mos
lem city of 365,000.
Poisoning Arrest Reported.
During the day the Arab quar-
ter of Tunis closed up tight in
a spontaneous general strike ap-
parently to show anger over
the reported attempt to poison
son and daughter Of their ven-
cradle ruler. 70-year -old Sidi Mo-
hammed AL Almin.
The office"of the French resi-
dent general, Jean de Hauteclocque,
investigated the poison plot. A sus-
pect was reported arrested, but
this lacked official confirmation.
Prince Chadley, son and politi-
cal secretary of the bey, said he
discovered white powder in soup
being prepared for last nights
dinner. The powder was examined
and called deadly mixture.
School Bombed at Bizerte.
Tunis1a has been rocked since
January by violence inspired by
Nationalists' demands on France
for greater self-rule. Several new
bombingS were reported in the
last "a hours. One French-Arab
school at Bizerte was damaged by
an explosion before dawn today.
Other bombings were reported att
Ousseltia on the southern coast.
In the clash between the Mos
lens and Jews. the Moslem in
vaders encountered stiff opposi-
ton from quickly organized Jew
ish defenses in front of stores and
houses. The fighting was violent
when police charged in and re-
stored order. Then two hours later
about 40 Arabs returned and re-
newed the attacks. This time po-
lice fired into the air to separate
the battlers.
