Now that Goebbel.s is practically out of the Nazi propaganda ministry, Hitler's ambassadress of KuUur, Leni Riefenstahl, is preparing to return to Kaziland . . . What sort of reception she'll get after her unsuccessful American tour is something we ivon't venture to foretell, but if Hitler takes our advice he'll listen carefully to what she has to say about American opinion on .Nazidom .'. .

The late B. Charney ¦Vladeck, for his long and devot¬ ed support of the program of sium clearance and public hous¬ ing finally enacted in New York City; Stanley M, Isaacs, Borough President of Manhattan, for risking his political career to de¬ fend the right of a Communist to hpld public office; and Clifford Odets, for a serle.') of increasing¬ ly powerful plays, of which the current "Rocket to the Moon" is perhap.s the best, are the Jew¬ ish names on the 1S)31) Ilonor Roll.

LONDON (WNS) — The an¬ nouncement that Princess Ste¬ fanle Hohenlohe will sail for New York on Jan. 28, caused German emigre circles here to wax ironic about . Chancellor Adolt Hitler's ability to forgot his hatred ot Jews long enough to use them when he deemed it necessary in the interests of Germany. The Jewish-born prin¬ cess has gained considerable notoriety tor her work iri smooth¬ ing diplomatic paths for .Toachim von Hibhentrop when he was Nazi Ambassador to Londonahd for Captain Fritz Weidemann In his London activities on Czecho¬ slovakia and the fact that she is coming to America at the same time that Capt. Weidemann. Hit ler's chief trouble shooter, has been assigned as German Con- .sul at San Francisco, Is con¬ sidered of particular significance In view of the pre.sent strained state of German-American rela tions. It has been definitely testablished that the princess' Jewish ancestry Is jiuthenttc. She was born -10 years ago in the .lewish "second district" ot Vienna. In 1014 sho married Prince Frederic Francois Augus- tln Marie Hohenlohe-Walden- borg SchllUngstuerst, and of this union a son was born. The mar¬ riage lasted six years during which time she built up her in¬ fluence in diplomatic circles. Be¬ fore moving to London, the princess had already acquired considerable influence in Ger¬ man and Hungarian diplomatic quarters. In London, the Prin¬ cess soon hud connections with the so-called Cliveden ,set of Lady Astor and used the connections in the interests of the German
ed virith the Rublee negotiations on emigration, since a transfer scheme ot wider scope and more profitable to the Heich is under discussion. Dr. Helmut Wohltatk, who has been authorized to cbn- tinue negotiations In place of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, was the go-between In the Altreu deal¬ ings. (The Altreu financed emi¬ gration of poor Jews under an arrangement whereby the gov¬ ernment granted 1,500,000 marte in foreign ejschange for 3,0{10iL ooo marka pollectedj - .'    '- ¦.,.-'
