High indignation has been aroused by the anti-Semitic attack against the “Berliner Tageblatt” and the “Welt Buehne” broadcast from the Berlin radio station on Saturday night.
Thousands telephoned protests to the director of the station, Duske. Duske stated that he had not seen the manuscript used and that the assistant director Mariaux is responsible.
It is expected that Mariaux will be dismissed because of this occurrence.
The anti-Semitic address was delivered by Karl Martin Koehn, editorin-chief of a humorous Nazi paper, Brenessel. The Nazi had been engaged to substitute for the dismissed Jewish announcer, Alfred Kerrs.
