INAUGURATES NEW HOLY YEAR Pope Pius XI Inaugurates Extraordinary Holy Year Os 1933 Today Vatican Cfty, Apr. 1. —(U.R) —With al’ the medieval splendor traditional to the church. Pope Pius XI today inaugurated the "extraordiniry holy year of 1933” in the most < (dorflil fate eant since his coronation 11 years ago. For the first time in history the holy year, its beginning symbolized by breaking through the sealed holy door to St. Peters basilica. commemorates the death of Christ rather than his birth, which has hitherto Iteen marked for times each century, by special year-long oltservances. Today's ritual, carried out with a dtep'-ay of richness only exceeded when a pontiff is raised to the throne, began with a magnificent procession to the .holy door, which hid been blocked by solid masonry since the holy year of 1925. Every cardinal in Home, a hundred bishops and scores of archbishops and patriarchs, with violet robes relieved by rich laces, and peweled mitres on their heads, surrounded the pope during the solemn and impressive pageant. Lining the route of the brief procession. and acting as a spectacu lar bodyguard, were the papal guards in full dress uniform In accordance with lenten customs. the predominant color of the prelates’ robes was violet. The potiff werb a precious mitre. The climax of the ceremony cante when the pope arrived before the sealed holy door, at the right entrance to the basilica, and was tendered a golden hammer by a servant. He knocked once on the masonry, crying aloud. "Aperite tnlhi portas justitiae," (Open the door of justice to me)" After a moment of silence, the pope struck the door with the golden mallet twice, reciting in Latin, •"1 will enter into thy house, 0, ixird!’’ Again there was an impressive silence, an I for the third time the pontiff knocked, this time with the ritualistic phrase. “Open the doors to me because God is with us. He who made virtue in Israel.'' At this signal, the masonry of the long-closed door tell, and prelates sprinkled the threshold with holy water, while specially appointed workeis cleared away the portal and took away the debris. The pope, descending from his portable throne, took a cross in his right hand and a candle in his left, and passed through the door, declaring it open for the year.

BOYCOTT GOES INTO EFFECT IN GERMANY Nazi Boycott of Jewish Industry Reported Complete In Berlin CITY ORDERLY IN FIRST HOURS Berlin, April 1 <U.R) The Nazi boycott of Jewish industry and commerce was reported 100 per cent complete in Berne at noon today. Two hours after the edict clamping down a closure on all nlaces of business owned by Jews went into effect, the stoppage of all trade with prescribed elements of the population had been completed in manv other cities as well as in Berlin. In many quarters of Berlin, a "holiday" seemed to be in progress. Tlie boycot: was orderly during tlie first hours. Reports from out- ' lying cities indicated there was little more excitement than on an ordinary election day. In Berlin. iron-clad discipline was enforced among the brownshirted Nazis who closed Jewish stores and stood guard to prevent customers from en'ering. Tlie guards, stationed in twos and threes as pickets, carried placards inviting Germans Io "defend yourselves against Jewish atrocity propaganda.” Many of Berlin's larger s ores posted signs in black and red, informing tourists of the boycott and explaining tlie situation in English. Posters were attached to large display windows explaininir the boycott. Numbers of furriers' shops, restaurants. cases ami other commercial houses, anticipating tlie boy(O't. remained completely closed. Among them were the well known department stores. Herman Tietz and The Kaufhaus Des Westens. Nazi pickets pasted big black and yellow signs on the closed shops, but withdrew their picke’s when it was seen that they would remain locked. The noted shop of Werthem's was open through the morsinq. but its ais'es were almost empty. The boycott was less severe than had been atilieipaled. however. for a United Press correspondent was able to enter at least nine stores known to be owned by Jews, without molestation from pickets.
