Nazi Machinations Responsible for
His Ouster, Professor Cumbell States

Noted German Jew, Now Attending Genetic Congress at
Cornell University, Makes Statement to the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

ITHACA.— (J. T. Al —The
machinations of the Nazis brought
about his dismissal from the Uni-
versity of Heidelberg, with which
he had been associated since 1923,
Emil J. Gumbel, German-Jewish
professor informed the correspon-
dent of the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency.

Professor Gumbel in now in the
United States attending the world
Genetic congress at Cornell Uni-
versity.
"I was ousted from the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg throligh the
machinations of the Nazis," Pro-
((riser Gumbel stated. "The Nazi
students meant to be dictators of
the universities in Germany. They
have strongly opposed me for years
because I have shown how they
have murdered innocent people. I
have enumerated in several of my
works all the Fascist murders. I
have given detailed facts and the
German minister of justice in 1924
gave an official answer which con-
firmed all my statements. So the
battle has been a very Iong one,
and they have tried since the gin-
Nog to get rid of me.
Hated foe Pacifism.
"They hate me because I am a
pacifist," he continued. "The im-
Portant fact is that the professors
at Heidelberg and the other univer-
sities du not oppose the Nazis as
they ought to do inlorder to save the
republic. They think they ought
not to oppose the crowd. I have
attacked them at all times and
have shown how In one town they
kill people in their beds; in a•-
other they murder them in the

street. That is the reason why I
wan ousted.
"The majority of the students at
the universities are not fully Nazis
but the Nazis play a most impor-
tant role because they are well
organized and they make promises
which ran never he fulfilled. Of
course, my dismissal has caused
great rejoicing in the Nazi press
because it Is rightly considered a
great victory against pacififists, so-
cialists and Jews. They will now
threaten other professors who are
affiliated with socialists, pacifists,
etc., and my case is a general case
of this movement.

Predicts Compromise.

"I do not think that the Nazis
will attain complete supremacy in
my Fatherland. But I do think
that the government will compro-
mise with them and tolerate some
of their ideas and fulfill them. You
know that the Nazis are simply the
old forces which formed the Kai-
sers regime. There is nothing new
in their ideas. They promise every-
thing to everybody and state that
when they attain power, they will
make 'heads roll.' They will con-
tinue to assassinate people—espe-
cially the Jews, because anti-Semi-
tism is popular In Germany.
"The anti-Semitic plank in their
program Is the only one they can
fully fulfill—the rest is impossible.
The Nazis tell the workers that if
elected, they will see that bread
will be cheaper. On the other hand,
they Inform the peasants that
bread will be dearer. They tell the

BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—The pre-
carious situation of a number of
undertakings of the Ort, World
Federation for Promoting Agri-
culture and Artisanship Among
the Jews of Eastern Europe, was
described in detail here by Dr.
David Lvovitch, member of the
executive off the Ort Federation,
whose central headquarters are in
Berlin, at a meeting with press
representatives.
Dr. Lvovitch appealed to Jew-
ish world public opinion to make
all possible efforts to prevent the
collapse of the system of the tech-
nical training schools maintained
by the Ort, and providing techni-
cal training to the Jewish youth
of the East European countries.
The means at the disposal of
the Ort are inadequate, he said,
to maintain this network of tech-
nical schools, and every day the
organization is besieged with com-
plaints from the various institu-
tions that they are unable to meet
their obligations to their teachers,
that they have not the necessary
material for their work, and that
they cannot renew their inventory.

Maintains 107 Schools.

Surveying the achievements of
the Ort up to the present, Dr.
Lvovitch said that by the end of
1931 it was said that by the end
of 1931 it was maintaining 107
training schools in various trades
—metallurgy, textiles, . clothing,
radio manufacture, electro-tethni-
cal. etc. These schools were only
partly intended for young people
training to be artisans. A large
number of these institutions were
providing technical continuation
training for qualifying adult Jew-
ish artisans to maintain their posi-
tions against the growng competi-
tion of non-Jewish artisans, and
in some places, as in Poland, of
legislative measures.
Many of the Ort institutions are
training adult unemployed, hun-
dreds of men and women of the
Jewish middle-class, to keep them
from starvation.
Burden of Deficits.
About 30,000 people, he went
on, have been brought into api-
culture and industry in Soviet
Russia through the medium of the
Opt. It has organized agricultural
co-operatives in Poland, in which
1,100 Jewish families are organ-
ized, and is also promoting Jew-
ish agriculture in is large part of
Bessarabia. There are 12,000
Jewish workers employed in 60
co-operatives and factories which
the Ort has established In Soviet
Russia, either on its own account
or in co-operation with other in-
stitutions, mostly consisting of
former declassed Jews. Six thou-

LAW SUIT STARTS
AGAINST M. COTY

His Agent in South Africa
Denies His Campaign
Is Anti-Semitic.

PARIS.—(J. T. A.)—Legal ac-
tion against Francois Coty, anti-
Semite perfume manufacturer, ac-
cused of fraud, opened here.
The court called upon experts to
testify regarding Coty's financial
operations especially in the United
States.
La Liberte describes Coty as an-
other Kreuger and accuses him of
fraud by falsifying balances.

Hi. Azent Defends Him.
JOHANNESBURG.—(J. T. A.)
—M. Emile Levy, Chevalier de la
Legion d'Honneur, who describes
himself as "the sole representative
of the Coty products in this coun-
try," has written to the Zionist
Record here that "the campaign en-
gaged in by M. Coty In his paper
is by no means an anti-Semitic
campaign."
"Criticism," he says, "is being
uttered against a certain group of
international financiers, who, M.
Coty feels, are • great deal to
blame for the present economic
situation throughout the world. The
fact that in this criticism are in-
cluded a few international Jewish
hankers, does not mean that M.
Coty is antagonistic to the Jewish
people. On the contrary, a great
number of people of the Jewish
prelsuasion are associated with him
in his enterprise. I would like
to quote as an example that Coty's
general manager in Paris is M.
Raymond Greilsamer, who has Just
been made a Chevalier of the Le-
eon of Honor of France and is
also connected with the Jewish
Conaiatory of Paris. i also happen
to know that quite • number of his
employees and distributors
throughout the world are of the
Jewish persuasion.
"In cenclusion.' he adds, "I
would like to add my personal
, opinion that if there were some
'Jews associated with the clique of
international b a n k e in, against
whom allegations bare been made
by M. Cety, the action of such
bankers should also be criticizsd
I by the large body of Jews through.

To Spanish Academy

PARIS.— (J. T, A.) — Dr.
Ariel Benzion, Zionist worker
and literateur, has been elected
correspondent member of the
Real Academia de Is Historia,
of Madrid in recognition of his
literary work and more par-
tuclarly because of his recent
book "The Zohar in Moslem and
Christian Spain."
The volume, which carries s
preface by Sir Denison Ross,
principal of the School of Ori-
ental Studies of the University
of London, is a study of the
Zohar from the historical point
of view and is at the same time
a philosophic and poetic contri-
bution to Jewish literature.
A Spanish edition of the vol-
ume scheduled to appear shortly

the Spanish philosopher, Miguel

NEW YORK.—(J. T. A.)—The

NEWARK, N. J.—(J. T. A.)—
in statements issued here, A Sig-
mund Kanengieser, Grand Master
of Brith Shalom, and William M.
Untermann, president of District
Grand Lodge No. 3, B'nai Frith,
both of this city, severely con-
demn the recent remarks of Byron
migration on Ellis Island, in which
Uhl, assistant commissioner of lin-
the latter linked immigrants with
crime and racketeering.
"As the head of one of the
great Jewish fraternal orders,"
said Mr. Kanengieser, "the bulk
of whose membership is comprised
of men and women born on for-
eign soil, I feel that Commissioner
Uhl's statements linking our im-
migrant masses with crime and
racketeering are totally without
foundation and should be combat-
ted effectively.

Points to Contributions.

"The Wickersham Commission
proved that in proportion to their
number, aliens commit less crimes
than native-born whites. This
should silence Mr. Uhl. Nor is it
necessary for me to cite those
manifold accomplishments of our
foreign-born to prove that they
have been and are among our
finest citizenry.
"We are most familiar, of
course, with our Jewish immigrant
masses, and we know how hard
they toiled and the privations they
suffered to develop themselves and
their families—not to become the
criminals and racketeers of today
—but the backbone in bueigess
and professionally of this nation.

a beckoning hand to all of them.

look down upon our Immigrant

FIVE-CENT KOSHER
KITCHEN ENDORSED
BY MAYOR MURPHY

Lauds Relief Effort at Din-
ner Attended by About
350 People.

MOVEMENT SUPPORTED
BY MANY SOCIETIES

Approximately $1000 Raised
To Auure Project's Con-
tinued Existence.

Mayor' Frank Murphy' Wednes-
day evening strongly endorsed the
Five-Cent Kosher Kitchen being
operated at 1991 West Euclid av-
enue, in his address before an
audience of 350 people at the
Shaarey Zedek, at a dinner spon-
sored by the Kosher Kitchen Or-
ganization.

Stating that he considered it •
pleasure to participate in this oc-
casion, Mayor Murphy lauded Mr.
and Mrs. Hyman Altman, origin-
ators of the kitchen idea.
"I want you to know," he
stated, "that your Mayor thor-
oughly endorses this movement
and would endorse similar move-
ments. You are doing • noble
work."
Mayor Murphy devoted the
greater portion of 'his address to
a discussion of 'existing conditions,
declaring that "the Indictment of
the present system of distribution

, The Best Charity."
"We have to witness sights at
present which our country has not
witnessed before," he stated, "but
n a way this presents to us the
greatest opportunity and privilege.
If there is a spark of service in
an there is no era like the present
to live in. If wo are narrow, big-
oted, Insensitive, we are in no po-
sition to serve. We can serve
only If we are able to put the corn-
mon good in everything. We are

in no position to serve If We are
afraid of being called radical or

erratic."

Referring to the claim that the
responsibility for relief should be
with the government, the Mayor
said that the city's resources are
exhausted, while those of the 'tate
and nation, and of private indi-
viduals are not. Ile pointed out
also that organized charity Is
similarly greatly handicapped and
that the answer lies in a great
co-operative effort—in a neighbor.
ly movement like the Kosher
Kitchen. "The best charity Is the
charity of the neighbor and of
the individual," he said.
Principle Involved.
Mayor Murphy's speech was in
part a comment upon the brief
remarks delivered by Philip Slomo-
vitz, editor of The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle, who was Introduced
just as the Mayor entered the
hall. Mr. Slomovitz reminded the
audience that there is no disputing
about charity, which must be
taken for granted. Referring to
the ancient Jewish tradition of
"Zedakah b'Seser," —"charity in
secret"—he said that the display
of people receiving public aid Is
a challenge to this principle, and
that it is deplorable that condi-
tions should force the organiza-
tions of such movements. The
lesson to be learned from this sit-
uation — which finds people In
want amidst an overabundance of
food—is that there Is something
radically wrong with the existing
system which makes such want
possible, the speaker said.
The program commenced with a
brief address by Mr. Altman who
stated that the response In the
community to the kitchen's ap-
peal showed the movement to be .
a success. Mr. Altman presented
