Captain of Aviation Krant has been disciplined because of anti-Semitic propaganda. Goering even order his arrest. However, Kraut was freed under pressure of the S. A. It is sobvious of course, that Goering does not object to anti-Semitic propaganda. The charge was a mere pretext to cover a retaliatory measure against an offinding Nazi cluqe.

Princes Catherine Radziwill reveals that Hitler has made a great effort to procure Marlene Dietrich for the Third Reich. Adolf Hetler has a very great effection for dietrich, at least so the Princess claims. She is his foremost film idol. His desire is to make her the summer, the Princess says, Hitler sent a special emissary to the Mediterranean coast in order to prevail on Marlene to return to Germany.

Marlene was bathing in the warm waters of the Mediterranean, when the tooth brush moustachioed messenger arrived. He clicked his heels before her and presented the compliments of the Chancellor. Germany awaited Madame with open arms, he said.

His diplomatic mission failed. Marlene did not say yes or no, and the emissary left. However, Hitler did not despair. He ordered a second emissary to proceed to Marlene, who amiably and graciouly dismissed the emissary, this time with an emphatic no.

Marlene recently announced that she will visit Europe soon, but she will spend her time in France.

Physicians, scientists, lawyers and writers who imagined that the elimanation of Jews from these professions in Germany would bring “Paradies on Earth” for them, have been sadly disillusioned. They were never worse off than at this time. One of the professional papers prints a pitiful article about their position. Of 50,000 physicians some 7,000 are without livelihood. About 9,000 do not obtain even a minimum of 160 marks monthly, while another 12,000 have an income of about 300 marks monthly. The paper expressly says that the transference of “Aryan” patients from Jewish physicians has not financially improved the status of the German physcians. The fees paid by the insurance departments are so low that the physicians must have at least twenty-five patients daily in order to exist. Costs of instruments, etc., have inceased, but fees have decreased. There are many insurance departments which pay only two marks for the first examination and one mark for further visits. Even those physicians with a large private practice are not in a good financial position. They are being paid very slowly and in long, drawn-out installments, if at all. On the other hand, new burdens are being imposed on the physicians in the nature of fees for federations, hpysicians’ sociemen and the elite guard.

Lawyers are in a similar position, despite the fact that the compiting Jewish element has been even more definitely climinated. The civil courts are no longer fully occupied, because going to court is not very popular in Germany. If it is not absolutely necessary, one does not foe to court. Fear is a major factor. Contracts, notaries, etc., have become so rare that the lawyers have not won much by the elimination of the Jews. The National Socialist Association of Lawyers figured out that lawyers in Germany have an averagte income of 230 marks a month, which means that 25 per cent are without income, and that in the larger cities there is a modest number who earn 1,000 or more, while the majority do not earn the minimum reqquired to ensure a livelihood.

Free-lance writers are in the same position. A large number cannot find publishers, and even if they do, the sale of books is so small that they receive starvation fees.

One theatrical writer whose play had a run in several theares, received a total of only 267 marks for his play. With few exceptions, 20,000 German writers look to their pens alone for their livelihood. They have no side lines.
