A new list of seventy Jews to be deprived of citizenship was made public today by the Chief of Police here, as part of the general drive gradually to deprive German Jewry of its citizenship rights.

A Berlin court was attacked today for granting an eviction order to a Jewish landlord against his “Aryan” tenant who continually insulted the Jew. The attack appears in the Jugend und Recht, a German law organ, which takes violent issue with the court’s ruling. “This decision is against our racial ideas,” the paper states.

It was stated in well informed circles here today that non-“Aryans” will be accepted in the German army under the new conscription, but not Jews.

The non-“Aryans” acceptable have to prove a predominating percentage of “Aryans” in their ancestry. They will also have to renounce all advancement in rank from the very outset.

ATTACK JUDGES

The demand that not a single Jew be permitted to remain in the German judicial system, was voiced today at the conference of National German Lawyers in Hanover.

Dr. Frank, Minister of Justice, addressing the conference, stated that even now under the Nazi regime there are still many Jews engaged in the German courts under the exemption made for war veterans.

“It will be our great task completely to liberate the German people from these alien substances, and to create a truly German justice,” he said.
