A majority of Jewish organizations in Germany have been suspended for a fortnight and are not expected to resume activities until Feb. 1, the New York Times reported today from Berlin. Among the organizations are the Jewish League of World War Veterans, Jewish sports groups, Jewish cultural groups and various occupational schools organized to help Jews prepare for emigration.
The Secret Police, who issued the suspension orders, refused to explain their action, the Times dispatch said, and no evidence has been discovered to account for suspension of so many undertakings.
On. Jan. 10 the Times reported from Berlin that the Secret Police, without explanation, suspended a Jewish school for prospective emigrants, supported by the Jewish central charities organization, for eight days and forbade the organization to announce the school had been closed by Secret Police orders. It was stated at the time that the school might be suppressed.
