The Reich Commissioner for Broadcasts, Scholtz, has issued instructions to radio stations in the provinces not to permit Alfred Kerr, prominent Jewish radio announcer, who was recently dismissed from the Berlin radio station, to deliver addresses.

This disclosure is made by Kerr in an article which appeared in the “Berliner Tageblatt” yesterday. The provincial stations, Herr Kerr says, have acted upon the instructions received and have withdrawn their invitations to him for broadcasts.

Kerr asserts that this boycott of a writer, because he is a Jew, is unconstitutional.
