Rhineland Reoccupation Overshadows Jewish News

Reoccupy Zone (Picture at right) PARIS (Spl.)—A showdown between France and Germany was imminent as France, exasperated by the gradual scrapping of the Versailles treaty which, finally led to the reoccupation of the “demilitarized” Rhineland last week, decided that even the final move of the Nazi regime was but a step to further advances. Germany’s next request, it is felt here, will be a demand for the return of her colonies, taken away from her after the World War. Hitler’s move into the Rhineland was one of the boldest coups of post-war history. While he ad- dressed a specially convoked Reichstag Nazi troops, armed with antiaircraft weapons and small artillery advanced into the zone which the Versailles treaty had ordered forbidden “forever.” Germany will vote on approval of Hitler’s regime and his foreign policy in a plebiscite set for March 29. It is considered doubtful by calm observers that any drastic action will be taken by the League of Nations or by France.

ONLY POLISH RIOTS BRING ATTENTION

LONDON (Sp.)—Activity on four Jewish fronts—Germany, Poland, England and Palestine— dropped from the news as Germany’s reoccupation of the “demilitarized” Rhineland took the center of the world’s attention. Jewish interest continued to make news only in Poland where two Jews were killed early this week in a riot, but in Germany, France and England, the Jewish problem was forgotten in a string of occurrences which may throw the world into warfare and once again pit Jew against Jew in a useless struggle. !n Germany a government statement was issued declaring that Jews may not vote in the plebiscite set for March 29 to win approval for the Hitler regime. Jews were warned to stay away from the polls as the propaganda bureau began to send speakers to all parts of the country, and laid plans for a gigantic pro Hitler campaign to convince the world that the nation was behind the Nazis.

Boycott Orchestra (Picture at left) NEW YORK (JTA)—The NonSectarian Anti-Nazi League, of which Samoel Untermyer is president issued an announcement threatening a boycott of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra unless its new musical director, Wilhelm Furtwaengler, renounces his allegiance to the Hitler Government. Meanwhile a statement signed by Felix Warburg and seven other members of the executive committee of the Society declared that there was “no foundation whatever’’ for the “impression” that the appointment of Furtwaengler has “a national or racial signifi cance.” At the same time the committee released a cablegram from Furtwaengler from Cario, Egypt, in which he said ‘ I am not chief of Berlin Opera but conduct as guest. My job is only music.” A committee to fight Furtwaengler's appointment has been organ-

Not In Movies (Picture at right) HOLLYWOOD (Spl.)—Not every star that comes to Hollywood breaks into the movies, Betty Lou Gerson, Southern Jewish miss, and star of the First Nighter Series on the NBC chain every Friday night, can testify. Miss Gerson, who is a dark-eyed beauty, has come to this movie capital to continue in her radio series, because her leading man, Don Ameche, has been signed for his first motion picture. So until the picture is completed Miss Gerson will be a resident of this city, and the program will be broadcast from here every Friday night.

ized, it was announced. Included in the group are George Gordon Battle, Margaret I. Lamont, William G. Schram. William Benton Chamberlain II. Mrs. Henry Goldman, Francis Gorman, Dr. Alvin Johnson, Dr. Frank Kingdon and Dr. Walter B. Cannon.

From Poland the news was more disquieting. The slaying of the two Jews in the district of Radom culminated a riot which may take the lives of four more injured. The Jewish community hastily organized a motor fleet to transfer the wounded to the Jewish Hospital. The English problem broke into Parliament from two widely divergent sides as Parliament heard a lengthy discussion of the proposed legislative council for Palestine, which Jews are opposing, and as Sir John Simon promised the Jews of Whitecastle protection from. Mosely’s Black Shirts.

SELZNICK NAMED HOLLYWOOD (Spl.)—David O. Selznick, Jewish producer, has been awarded the January Blue Ribbon of the National Screen Council, it was announced here. Composed of movie editors of leading newspapers throughout the country, motion picture chairmen of State Federation of Women's Clus and State Chaptera of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, the Screen Council makes the award monthly in behalf of cleaner movies.
