Among the six cases of attacks on American citizens in Germany, five are Jews. In addition to the three already reported, assaults were made on two other American Jews, Max Schussler and Leon Jaffe.

The American Consul-General here has lodged a vigorous protest with Rear-Admiral Magnus von Levetzow, the new Nazi Police President. It is understood that the American authorities received assurances from Levetzow that the police would do everything in their power to apprehend the persons implicated in the assaults, and to prevent any recurrence.

Similar protests have also been lodged by the diplomatic representatives of other foreigners, among them several Jews who have suffered violence during the past few days.
