Prevent Dismissed Jews from Opening Shops; Extend Numerus Clausus

Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, Minister of Economics and Agriculture in the Hitler cabinet, today ordered the resignation of Kurt Sobernheim, well-known German-Jewish banker, from the suprevisory council of the Zentral-bodenkreditanstalt, private commercial bank.

By cabinet decree, a numerus clausus has been initiated against Jewish tax advisers, similar to that in operation in the civil service. Permits to practice, even those granted since the advent of the Hitler Government, were ordered to be withdrawn from all Jewish tax advisers.

A scheme to prevent dismissed Jewish employees from finding any other occupation has been conceived by the Nazis who today declared a six months’ ban on the opening of new retail establishments “in the interests and protection of retail trade.” This actually means that dismissed Jewish officials and others of the intellectual classes for whom the only possibility of a livelihood existed in their opening of small businesses, now are prevented from following this intention and are compelled to consume their savings with the danger that they will be completely destitute within a very short period.

PHOTOGRAPH STUDENTS

A small number of students who disobeyed the Nazi order to quit lectures given by Professor Wolff at the University of Berlin, were photographed in his classroom so that a record of such “rebellions” might be preserved, today’s issue of the Voelkischer Beobachter, chief Nazi organ, reports. The paper describes the circumstances under which the students marched out of Professor Wolff’s lecture-room, compelling Professor Wolff to interrupt his lecture and hurriedly depart from the hall.

Professor Wolff is one of the three Jewish professors still left at the university under the official civil service regulations. But despite this, he is nevertheless boycotted by the Nazi students.
