Two thousand persons attended a meeting in Orchestra Hall last night to protest Nazi persecution. The rally, sponsored by the Chicago Committee against Nazi Outrages, adopted resolutions urging support of the anti-Nazi boycott, approving the calling home of the Ambassador to Germany and urging American assistance to refugees. Speakers included Prof. Paul H. Douglas of University of Chicago, Rabbi Louis Mann, Martin Hall, vice-president of the German-American League for Culture; the Rev. Theodore Hume of the Chicago Church Federation, and Municipal Judge John Gutknecht.
