Alarmed by the rapid and steady decline in the daily circulation of Nazi party papers, leaders today launched a one-week drive to spur interest in their leading newspapers.
That the Nazis have cause to worry is revealed by their own official figures, showing that the circulation of the Voelkischer Beobachter, No. 1 Nazi paper, has dropped from 359,766 to 336,537 since September, 1934. The Angriff, mouthpiece of Propaganda Minister Goebbels, has only 53,000 out of its former 100,000 readers left. In the last two months the paper lost 13,000 readers.
Adolphe Phillipe D’Ennery, Franco-Jewish dramatist, adopted many of Jules Verne’s writings to the stage.
