and that their wives and brides must have an unsullied “Aryan” pedigree. Employes who fail to pass the test will be deprived of their jobs, it was announced.

The newspaper attacks on the Jews was continued today by Propaganda Minister Goebbels’ Der Angriff and the Deutsche Zeitung. Both Nazi sheets carried leading articles accusing Holland Jews of being responsible for recent unemployment disturbances in Amsterdam.

Goebbels’ paper sent a special correspondent to the Dutch capital and featured his reports that David Wynkoop and Louis Devisser, Jewish members of the Dutch Parliament, aided by a dozen other Jews, are inflaming the Dutch population through the widely-read Communist paper, the Tribune of Amsterdam.

Kissingen, well known German health resort, today posted huge signs forbidding Jews from using the sun baths or swimming bath.

An anxious Germany awaited the session of the shadow Reichstag called by Chancellor Hitler for tomorrow evening. Criticism of the bloody purge continues to grow. Disaffected storm troop friends of the slain Nazi leaders are known to be spreading their version of the “alleged revolt,” which contradicts completely the official version.

Chancellor-Hitler is expected to give the official Nazi version of the “purge” and to take cognizance of Germany, which Germans feel was achieved in London during the conference between British officials and Foreign Minister Louis Barthou of France. The German Chancellor, it is understood, will once again defy the rest of the world in an attempt to swing German opinion behind him against the world and divert attention from the “bloody week.”

The People’s Court today suddenly called for Saturday a special tribunal which will deal with treason and political crimes. The session of the court follows immediately on Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag on Friday.
