Overtures by the Nazis to establish contact with the Jews have been made, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned yesterday.
A prominent Berlin Jew informed leaders of the Jewish Community that “Gregor Strasser asked me to explain to Jewish leaders that the Nazi leaders will guarantee the security of the Jewish population provided the Jews fully abandon their negative attitude toward the Nazis and that the Mosse press and the Ullstein press discontinue their policy of running down the Nazis. Strasser hopes this will facilitate the Nazi movement’s efforts to secure power and gain confidence abroad.”
The leaders of the Jewish Community have refused to reply to the advances of the Nazi chieftain, and have forbidden the mediator to continue his negotiations with the Nazis.
Strasser, one of the leaders of the National Socialist Party, has in the past been known for the virulence of his anti-Semitic utterances.

A meeting in Cologne yesterday of the Jewish Women’s League was attacked last night by Nazi students as Rabbi Rosenthal was delivering an address. The Nazis ran through the auditorium shouting “Judea Perish!”
An elderly feminine member of the audience was injured as were several ushers who protected the Jews. The windows of the auditorium were broken. One Nazi was arrested.
