There are no anti-Semitic outrages in Germany, “aside from a few floggings that might have resulted in a death or two,” according to J.W. Richard Lindemann, instructor in English at the University of Buffalo, in an article in the Buffalo Evening News. Lindemann has spent the last four summers touring Germany.

His article paints Hitler as “universally and sincerely admired all over Germany.” Local Jewry is indignant over the appearance of this article, and the author is under the investigation of the B’nai B’rith anti-defamation committee, headed by Emil Rubenstein. It is expected that the National Student League at the university and the International Labor Defense will demand Lindemann’s dismissal.
