The Juedische Rundschau sees hopes of a return of a number of businesses to the hands of their former Jewish owners in an announcement of Commissar of Industry Wagener, threatening punishment of self-appointed commissars. The paper hopes that as a result of this announcement, many of the suspectedly self-appointed commissars who have taken over Jewish firms without authorization and dismissed Jewish employees, will vanish.
Even Jewish attorneys who have been readmitted to practice have been turned into second-class lawyers, the Rundschau declares. It publishes the ten points outlined in a circular issued by the Duesseldorf bar association in which Jewish lawyers are forbidden to be members or participate in arbitration and in which the courts are asked to order the dissolution of partnerships between Jewish attorneys and non-Jews.
The Rundschau considers particularly inhuman the order expelling Jewish employes and prohibiting dismissd Jewish lawyers from acting even as clerks in law offices.
“What does the lawyers’ association expect to happen to the many aged Jewish attorneys who are not even permitted to occupy an ordinary clerical post and are exposed to starvation?” the paper asks.
