The Frankfurter Zeitung, last of the great liberal German newspapers, today passed out of the hands of Simon-Sonnemann family, publishers of the paper since it was founded by Leopold Sonnemann.
Dr. Heinrich Simon, publisher of the paper for the last twenty-eight years, Kurt Simon and Frau Therese Simon Sonnemann, daughter of the founder, withdrew from the ownership and management of the paper.
They announced that the paper would be conducted as heretofore and that its independence would be limited only by the law governing newspapers.
