Among the latest victims of the boycott is Dr. Zander, Under-Secretary of Finance for the Reich, who has been ordered to resign immediately.

The boycott has also infiltrated into the field of sports, the German Boxing Federation having forbidden Jewish boxers or referees to take part in or officiate in German championship contests.

Connected also with the boycott is the ban on Jewish jurors, whose names have been removed from the jury panels. It has also been announced that the trials of cases, which have had to be interrupted owing to the ejection of Jewish judges would be resumed by Christian judges next Monday.
