BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov, 25 — The
German ambassador to Washington,
Hans Dieckhoff, who has been called
to Berlin to report to Chancellor
Hitler on the “strange attitude” of the United States toward German
handling of the’ Jews, is in a posi-|
tion, fortunately, to give his gov-|i
ernment a frank and fourale picture, if that is what is| wanted. While this move roby was primarily in retalitation for the calling home of our ambassador, Hugh Wilson, it is fortunate that Dieckhoff is going home, because, whether a full - report is asked for, German officials inevitably wil lgather me indication of how much the handling of the Jewish question has cost Germany in American goodwill. Ambassador Dieckhoff knows America well. In the fs place, he is a career diplomat, d has been in the German diplomatic Service for nearly 30 years, so that by training he is an experienced judge of opinion and currents of feeling. It has been his business to detect them and report the Furthermore, he is a pleasant and charming person, who has enjoyed many years of popularity in Washington.
First to Hel)
_Dieckhoff lon gantedates the Hitler regime, of course, and he spent five years here, in the mass twen-
ties, as counsellor of embassy when American feeling was friendly toward Germany. That was not long after thre war, but even so American sentiment had swung around toward Germany. ~ Dieckhoff was here under Baron Maltzan, who was the second German post-war ambassador to the United States and who enjoyed enormous popularity. . He was something of a social lion in Washington and the German embassy was a brilliant center of activity. From those ‘years, durlng which Dieckhoff enjoyed the friendship of a wide range of American figures, he knows that the United States ~ was among the first of Germany’s wartime enemies to forgive and to extend a helping hand.: While -some of Germany's other former enemies were still grinding her under heel, the United States was extending not only sympathy but large financial help. Millions of dollars were loanen to Germany to help her get back on her feet. When the French marched into the Rohr, the United States made no effort tol conceal its disapproval of such tactics. Over a long period, the United States took the position that the best interests of the world ‘ in helping the new German democracy to recover,
Followed Luther
In time this attitude was adopted by some other nations, especially by Britain. In spite of our policy of political isolation, we joined in revising reparations downward and, ' through the Dawes and Young Plan loans, helped finance Germany. Ambassador Dieckhoff, of his versonal experience, knows that the United States, in the decade after the war, was a genuine friend of the new German democracy. It was not until some time after Hitler assumed power that our coolness developed. That during the time of Ambassador Hans Luther, predecessor of Dieckhoff as ambassador. Luther,

THREE INDICTED ON JOB SELLING CHARGE
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (U. P.) — Three former city officials, involved in a purported job selling scheme to circumvent civil service requirements, were under county Grand Jury indictment today. Those named yesterday in the true bills were Joseph Shaw, ' retired naval officer and brother-secretary of ex-Mayor Frank L. Shaw; William Cormack, a member of the old Civil Service Commission and one John Doe. Already three others had been charged with various offenses. Glenn Gravatt, former general manager of the Civil Service Commission and a key witness, was charged with 3altering public records through “marking up civil service examination papers. Lieut. Peter del Gado of the Police Department and Carlo Curtis, boxing promoter and alleged go-between, were indicted for perjury following their denials to the Grand Jury that they had aided in the sale of Police and Fire Department jobs.

Americans distrusted the Hitler regime because - they could not understand the persecution of the Jews, and that unfavorable American opinion would not disappear while this persecution continued. It was as evident then as it is now that Americans will be satisfied with no explanations. We used to feel the same way about the Turks when they persecuted the Armenjans, and most of us.didn’t know any Armenians at all. To a German this attitude may or may not make any sense, tut it is a big fact in the way of Hitler being accepted as a leader that anybody wants to do business with. Ambassador Dieckhoff is too understanding and too informed an observer of the United States not to know this. Hitler sould learn a : Jot from bhim.,
