The Jewish Cultural League, “ghetto” organization founded under Nazi direction, was faced today with the problem of accepting into membership baptized full-blooded and three-quarter Jews.

Hans Hinkel, Nazi commissioner for Jewish cultural affairs, has ordered all Jews in those categories expelled from the St. Paul’s Union of “Non-Aryan” Christians. The order specifies they are to join the Jewish Cultural League, which hitherto has comprised only full-blooded Jews. St. Paul’s Union, it was decreed, henceforth may have only baptized half-Jews or quarter-Jews as members.
