Henceforth every employee in the public institutions subordinate to the municipalities of Prussia will have to prove not only his own Aryanism but that of his wife, if he is to retain his place, according to an order promulgated yesterday by the Prussian Minister of the Interior, Dr. Wilhelm Frick.

Even the perfect Aryan whose wife is only a 25 percent Jewess is to be summarily dismissed, unless he legally disassociates himself from her.

In doubtful cases, the matter will be referred for final decision to the racial expert by the office of the Ministry of the Interior.
