The exceptions for Jewish physicians and lawyers in Germany who were front-fighters have been altered and their activity restricted to Jewish patients and clients, the National Zeitung reported today from Berlin.

Liquidation of Jewish capital in Germany and Austria within two years is expected by well-informed circles, the dispatch said. Poor Jews will be compelled to emigrate, it was stated, however the authorities realize the difficulties regarding immigration restrictions of various countries.

According to the Zeitung, the decree for the registration of Jewish capital had been drafted at the time of the trial in December, 1936, arising out of the assassination of Wilhelm Gustloff, Swiss Nazi leader, but its promulgation was postponed because other means of financing the German four-year plan were hitherto sufficient.
