Three former Rumanian policemen and a Jew have been arrested in Rumania on charges of assisting Jews to escape from the ghettos which the government has set up in Kishinev and Czernowitz, it was learned here today. The four arrested men are accused of bringing the Jews from the ghettos to Bucharest.

The German minority in Rumania, meanwhile, evidently emboldened by the fact that Rumania has openly allied itself with Germany, is interfering in internal matters which previously were within the province of the Rumanian government, according to reports reaching here today. The latest example is that of the Volksgruppe Research Institute which has started an investigation of “Jewish influence on the church” with the object of “removing such influence from the dogma and life of the churches and restoring the relations between the churches and the people.”
