Jet u.-i point out that registered- marks cost ajiproxi- niatcly Ilii per cent less than tlie reffular German marks...In other word.s, the Nazi j^ovcrnment is offcviiij;? a very con- .sidcrable premium to those willing lo help increase German e.^ports... Pros and Cons For sonic reason or otlicr the long- Iicraldcd e.Kliihition of merchandise spon¬ sored by tlie boycott committee of the American Jewish CongrcsSi which wa? su|)posed to show importers what to buy instead of Gcnnan-madc goods, h.is been called ofF, for the tune befiiH at least... We arc again KettiiiR complaints iihout violinist Kritz Kreisler, who seems to Imd it impossible lo wean himself a\^?ay from the German steam.ship lines.. .Per¬ haps you'll find soiisolation in the fact that the Ilindcnburg Theatre, in Neiv York's llieatre district, was recently forced to shut down bccau.se cash cuj- tomers refused to go there to see Ger¬ man films... Mow the house has reopened, with a new name and~a Yiddish show ...And we learn that of the three movie houses which Ufa, Otrnian flicker con¬ cern,, bad in fiudjiiicst not wi ions? aRu, two have had to be .sold on account of insiifTicicnt business.'..
IJelieve It or Not , Tlic fact that l^riino Richard Haupt- mann, at tbismoincnt on trial in con- iicction with the Lindboi7,di kidnapping, is a rull-blnoded Teuton, was a terrible blow to the,Nazis...That is why such vigorous ciTorls were made to drap; the Jew I.sidor iMscIi.into the case...When that petered out, Yorkville, Gotham's Gcrinaii (|uarter, proceeded io create al¬ ternative legends in support of Haupt- niann's iniuicenee of the crimes with which he is cliarged.. .One of these legends has it that Lindbergh, himself a. Jew. killed bis own baby and then ar¬ ranged to have a Nazi charged with the murder—this, of course, to arouse anti- Nazi sentiment.. .Another iiame.'i Charles Levine, first trans-Atlantic flight (lassen- gcr, as the kidnapper—presumably in a fit of professional jealousy of Lindy... No wonder Charlie is going in for hoxing lessons in a big way...
That's News ,
The National MobiHzation Council, which Is intended to coordinate all Jew¬ ish fund-raising cfFort.s in the U.

A. has officially decided to stay out of the Council, it a|)i)ear.s, because of that old Zionist fear of anti-Zionist influence... .\ couple of years ago, shortly before Hitler's ascent to power, ^l,")l),OtX) Collected in the United States was sent to the Deutsche Diskonto Gesellschaft of Rerlin for the accouftt of the Jewish .\gency there...This money, intended for work in Palestine, still lies il' the Ilerlin bank—for Herr Hitler has not seen fit to release it...One of tho reasons why the relatively numerous Jewisli brain trusters are upsetting the social ec|uilibritim of the Capital is that Washiiigtoii hostesses have not yet learned to reckon with the i)riiKi[>les of kashruth, to which some of the Jewish New Dealers adhere most religiously... Slia (lowland Jose()h Sclienck may have threatened to take his film manufactory out of Cali¬ fornia if U[)t(tii Sinclair .should be elected governor of that .sunny state, but William Fox, whose .career Sinclair (iresented so eloiiuently after the famous Wall Street adoiJtion of tlie Fox interests, is said to have contriliiited a quarter of a million dollars to the Siiickiir campaign to ciul poverty in California.. .Anne and Sally, sisters of the late Siine (Variety) Sil¬ verman, have opened u studio for iin- poverislied musicians in memory of their

A MESSAOIi: FROM THE PKES. OF ZION LODGE
NKVV YORIC (WNS)—iX'portation of alien Nazis will be one of the prin¬ cipal weapons employed in uprooting the Nazi movement in this country, Keprc- seiitativc John M. McCormack, Chairman of the Congressional Committee Inves¬ tigating Nazi Activities, tlcclarcd at the conclusion of the, Committee's 'public hearings iu New York, liilteriy attack ing the practices of the Friends of the New Germany, Kepieseiitative McCor mack charged that evidence in ihc Com¬ mittee's possession (>roved that Germanj is deliberately violating iiiteniational hu\ and the hospitality of this country hy permitting Dr. Hans Luther, her ambass ador to the United States, to function in the dual capacity of envoy of the Goi- man government and agent of the Na/i l)arty. Pointing to the! tcstimonj of Frnst Borkcnlioff, a Storm Troop leader now on a visit to this covliitry, who ad- milted that he Was under i'/istructions to report to the German ambassador, to a ]jarty branch or a German consul im¬ mediately upon his arrival, Mr. McCor- m.ick said this proved that Luther and other German diplomatic officials in this country served both their government and the Nazi party.. IJerkenhofFef was an unwilling .witness who was broug-iit lie fore the Committee when papers he lost were found and turned over to the Com mittee. i
Mr. VfcCormack pointed out that the CoJiimittce's hearings had demonstrated to the country the uu-American nature of tlie Nazi movement, which" was vio latiug iutciniuional law by "attempting to inculcate the [)olicy of its government within the confines of a friendly nation. He intimated that the Conmiittee might recommend legislation to restrict the con duct of aliens aiid to curb the activities of groups agitating for the overthrowing of the goveriinient by force and violence. The, closing session of the hearing was marked by a sensational outburst'of jeer¬ ing, booing, hissing a'nd other <lisru|ttive noises by a Ijirge crowd of Nazis who liacked (lie committee room. Mr. Mc- f'ormack characterized tlile cries of "Meil Hitler," the cutting of radio connections and other disorderly actions by the Nazi partisiins as "showing more clearly than aiiylhiug else the alicnncss of this mov ment." .'Xii attempt by tbe Nazis to clash with a group of jewi.sh spectators was blocked by secret service agents- and police.
¦Ihc outbreak was caused by the testi¬ mony of Kurt Georg Ludecke, one ot Hitler's first di.sci[iles and the original Nazi leader in America, who described liimseif as "a disillusioned and embittered ex-Nazi." Lncdeckc said that.be had been ill a Nazi concentration camp for nine months because of his insistence that a Genuau-dirccted Nazi iiiovcment in this j country would never amount to anything. He gave many illuminating details regard¬ ing friction and controversy between Hit¬ ler, Griebbels and Hanfstaeugl over the organization of Nazi propaganda in the United States. Luedeeke revealed that he was responsible for the order dissolv¬ ing the Nazi party units in this country, but immediately after that order the Friends of the New Germany was or¬ ganized by "practically tbe same people who had been active in tile old move- meut." Mow young German-American hoys were taught to salute the American KUig with a Nazi salute was explained hy Hugo Haas, leader of the Nazi youth movement and commander of the boys' camp maintained by the Nazis at Griggs- lown, New Jersey. Ludwig Werner told luAv he bad been expelled from the Nazi rank ^because he refused to obey orders umiuestioningly.
The most sensational testimony was of¬ fered by Friedrich Kruppa, an ex-Nazi formerly high up in Nazi circles. Krui)[}a told how Nazi agents kidnapped Heinz Spaiiknoebel while the Federal govern- meiU was looking'-for bim, gave details of the widespread Nazi es[>ionage sys¬ tem maiutaintid here to keep tabs on the doings of Germans with relatives abroad, who suffered for what their kinsmen did or saifl here, and e.xidaincd how the Nazi regime subsidized Hitlerite pa(iers in the United States. He also told of how Nazi ()ro[)agHnda is smuggled in and distributed by the Friends of the New Germany, of Nazi cells maintained on all German ships and the use of Ger¬ man uniforms and drill manuals hy storm troojwrs training in. New Jersey mider the swastika.
Public hearings of the Comniittee will be resumed in Washington in December. An executive session will be hekl in Chi¬ cago next month.

Final Rehearsals are Held for Hillel Fall Production Which Plays Nov. 1-3
Final rehearsals are being held this week for Hillel Players' fall production, "Six Characters in Search of an Au¬ thor," a three act play by Luigi Piran¬ dello, which wiir be produced this com¬ ing Thursday and Saturday evenings, November 1 and 3, at University chapel on the campus.
The play is a psychological ironical satire on the commercial drama. The forces of idealism and reality battle once again throughout the three acts. The play depends not upon the lines to put it across, but upon the characterizations of the actors. Thus;' It can be readily seen that Hillel's reputation will be in¬ creased highly if the (day is successful. It taxes them to cai)acity more thiln any other opus has ever done.
O. S. Loud, instructor at University high school in coaching the jiroductioii. Mr. Loud has had considerable experi¬ ence with character plays since- he has been    connected    with    the    professional
;ie and is an' e,\i>crienced character actor.
Esther Levinson, popular Coinmbus girl, whnli^-'' appearetl before the foot¬ lights a number of times for Hillel, is again cast in this production. Seyril Schochen, Richard Bhiesteiii, Marty Ru¬ bin, an old favorite; Ruth Goldstein, Maurice Portman, and Marvin Horwitz have the leading parts in the production.
Tickets are being sold for 35c per [)erson.
