GREAT LEIPZIG FUR TRADE HIT BY JEWISH BAN Curb on Business Alarms Merchants: May Drive Traffic to London. Her# is Ihe seronrl of a series of artieles bv Milton Rrnnner, SKA Serv- ***'*• London correspondent, describing hi* observations during a ten-day trip through German*. Today he rabies to The Time* an account of hi* visit to Leipzig. BV MILTON BRONNER NLA Service Writer LONDON, April 18.—Leipzig, Germany, is one of the fur trade centers of the world. For centuries it has been the custom for the fur dealers to stand upon the sidewalks of a great street called the Bruchl, lined with fur warehouses and offices, ana tnere meet buyers and close their deals. This custom is ended by order of the Nazi leaders. The street must be kept clear. The fur trading must be done in the warehouses and offices. This is an example of the petty annoyances being inflicted on Jewish tradesmen—observed during a visit to German cities—and Leipzig, a city of 800,000, is concerned deeply. Millions Spent for Furs It claims to be the greatest fur market in all the world. The business is largely in the hands of German Jews. Buyers come from all quarters of the globe to purchase ra : furs, and 90 per cent of these buyers are Jews. They spend millions for furs. They fill the hotels and restaurants. Bur they are now staying away, not because of any deliberate boycott, but because of the fear of insult and mistreatment. London always has disputed Leipzig’s claim to being the greatest fur market, and Leipzig now fears that its former lucrative fur trade may be transferred there. The Jewish buyers know that they will not encounter anti-semitism in London, and should they shift their market one of Leipsig’s oldest ana most valuable industries would collapse. Great Trade Fair Held Leipzig also claims to have each year the greatest trade fairs in March and August. All leading German manufacturers, as well as foreign, send exhibits. Millions of dollars have been spent for erection of big buildings especially designed for the fair. There is a growing fear that the usual fair for next August may fail. .r\nd here again the fear of British rivalry arises, because of the British industries fairs at London and Birmingham, holding out to Jews a cheap market, because England is off the gold standard, whereas Germany is not. These business matters may or may not have had something to do with conditions as I saw them in Leipzig. Few Guards in Streets There were comparatively few Nazi guards on the streets. Not so many swastika barkers were being Haunted, but the petty annoyances and display of perjudices were not lacking. The Nazis would not permit Bruno Walter to conduct his usual season's concert. He has been lionized for the last four years when he conducted Wagner operas in London. Therefore, while antiSemitism has not been manifested so strongly in public here, there are many hints of under-cover deeds. During my visit the whole town seemed to be furtively talking about the reported beating of a prominent Jewish businessman. He was called to the door of his home, so the story went, on the pretext of delivery of a telegram. Seized by Nazi, he was said to have been beat badly and seriously injured. There were no arrests, nor was there any mention of such an incident in the Leipzig newspapers. Foreigns Are Safe Thanks to Hitler’s stringent orders. foreigners, I found, are as safe in Germany as anywhere. At the frontiers the customs and passpoi’t officers are courteous and helpful. The only precaution necessary is to declare the amount of money you have with you, and get a signed paper showing this amount, so you will not have trouble taking out your own money when you leave the country. The passports of all native Germans are closely examined, as each traveler must have a special police visa as a permit to leave the country. The police must be convinced that the applicant is not a fugitive, nor likely to spread world excitement in connection with stories concerning alleged atrocities. Germans also must show the money they have with them. Even before the Hitler regime, the government decreed that a native traveler could take only 300 marks from the country except under special circumstances. NEXT: Berlin under Hitlerism. KEEPING HIS NEW ~CAR State Treasurer Says Auto Was Bought Before McNutt Issued Order. William Storen, state treasurer, is keeping his new car and also the one recently purchased by him for Frank Finney, chief of the motor license division, he said today. Under the reorganization plan, toren got the license division, •hich formerly was under jurisdic•>n of Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of dte. Governor Paul V. McNutt issued an order there would be no new cars bought. Storen said’he made the purchase some time before the order was made.

CHICAGO FACES NEW POLITICAL SCANDAL AIRING Income Tax Returns Made by Ex-Junk Man May Lead to Sensation. 81l Unitnl Prrm CHICAGO, April 13. —Federal grand jury investigation of the in- ! come tax statements of Moe Rosen- i | berg, local Democratic political j power, opened today with indica- | tions the inquiry might develop into | a major Chicago political sensation, j Subpenas were served to bring records and witnesses before the j grand jury today in a study of j I Rosenberg's income tax returns for 1929 and 1930. United States District Attorney ! Dwight Green said he would present the matter to the jury person- ; ally. An exhaustive inquiry already has been made by government au- j Ihorities in the matter. There were suggestions the investigation might rival the trial of A1 Capone under similar circumstances. Rosenberg was a minor figure in Chicago political circles until his brother, Michael, a sanitary district trustee and Democratic ward committeeman, died. Until then he had been only an obscure junk man. Since then, Rosenberg has become head of a trust company which figured in investigations of receiverships, and a party dictator on the west side. Efforts by Rosenberg to make a settlement of the tax was reported to have been refused by internal revenue officials at Washington, D. C. Rosenberg is the fourth Chicago political figure to come under the scrutiny cf the law in regard to income tax payments.
