Although a counter – boycott meeting to be held May 17 in Madison Square Garden was announced by Reinhold Walter, president of the Friends of the New Germany, at Wednesday’s meeting of the organization in the Yorkville Casino, no further information about the proposed gathering was forthcoming yesterday.
A telephone call to Madison Square Garden brought the reply that no bookings have been made for that date. At the office of the Deutsche Zeitung, leading pro-Nazi organ, editors said that all they knew was what was announced at the Casino meeting.
The Friends of New Germany office informed the Jewish Daily Bulletin that the details, if any, will not be revealed to the general press until after their publication in the Deutsche Zeitung.
Plans were also announced at the Wednesday meeting for a department store here that would specialize in selling only German goods, and yesterday it was intimated from sources close to the DAWA (German-American Protective Alliance) that there is a possibility of establishment of a number of stores making accessible practically all kinds of Germanmade merchandise the local Hitlerites may desire.
