A strongly worded complaint has been lodged with Adolph Hitler against Julius Streicher, notorious Nazi Jew-baiter, for his public demands that no medical inventions by Jews be used in Germany, it was learned here today.
The complaint is signed by the Health Commissar of the Reich and by health commissars of five German states. The health officials point out in their protest that while Streicher may be correct in fighting the Jews politically, his theories about not using serums and other discoveries made by Jews in the field of medicine are dangerous to the well-being of the German nation.
Officials of the Health Department in their memorandum to Hitler asked that Streicher should be given to understand by the Fuehrer that his invasion into the field of medicine is not well taken and that his anti-Semitic preachings should be confined to the political field only.
