THE WEEK IN REVIEW (copy.. By MILTON BROWN 1934. Jewieb Telegraphic Agency. Inn) GERMANY: The all German Jewish Repro- sentative Body submitted a lengthy memorandum to every member of the Nazi cabinet including Adolf Hitler describing in detail anti- Jewish propaganda in the press and in public speeches, the anti- Jewish boycott and discriminations and the ruin that has overtaken German Jewry. The memorandum asked the Nazi government to clar- ify the status of the Jews under the present regime and that the government punish provincial Nazi chiefs who were ignoring the order of the government not to discrim- inate against the Jews. A definite splint has taken place between the Reich government and the provincial Nazi chiefs over the question of toleration for the Jews More than a thousand volunteer actors are expected to participate in the first rehearsal for the pa- geant "The Romance of a People" at Central High School Auditor- ium next Wednesday evening, Feb. 7, beginning at 7:30 o'clock.

Great encouragement was given the preliminary pageant commit- tee at a luncheon on Wednesday at Hotel Stotler, which was at- tended by editors and spokesmen for the editors of the three metro- politan dailies — Detroit Free Press, Detroit News and Detroit _ Times. The pledge of co-opera- 'ion oirthe part of these papers was repeated at this lunch- eon which was presided over by Mr. Weisgal.

HONOR ROSENWALD MEMORY ON SUNDAY 1 I orders to provincial Nazi leaders to ignore the orders of the govern- ment and to carry on their boy- cott of Jewish business ... Efforts made by Jewish organizations to train Jewish youth in new profes- sions and trades suffered a severe setback when provincial Nazi lead- ers acting on orders from Munich forbade artisans including Jews to accept Jewish apprentices or to em- ploy Jews. The artisans chamber, in which the government has little influence, is carrying on a cam- paign against the Jews and de- liberately ignoring the orders of the government not to discriminate against the Jews in this field . . . Even in the ranks of the Nazi lead- ers there is a disagreement on the treatment of the Jews, Wilhelm Rube, former leader of the Nazi faction in the Prussian Diet, sharp- ly attacked Minister of Economics Schmitt and declared that the Jews must be completely eliminated from German life and reduced to the sta- tus of aliens. lie declared that the rank and file of the Nazi party would be satisfied with nothing less . .

Panic reigns among the Jews in the western provinces of Austria. Thousands of Jewish families in this region are packing their be- longings and making plans for a hasty departure in the belief that the victory of the Austrian Nazis is only a question of a short time. Many of the Jews are flooding their relatives in Vienna with inquiries as to whether the capital offers a refuge from the Nazis, - but little' hope is held out .to them as condi- tions in Vienna are bad, and the Dollfuss regime shows few signs of improving in stability.

FRANKI LN More than 400 fathers and sons are expected to gather at the an- nual father and son observance to be sponsored by the Men's Club of Congregation Shaarey Zedek, on Thursday evening, Feb. 8, at 6 o'clock. A committee consisting of Hee- man A. August, chairman, Frank Wetaman, Moe Prince and Saul Saulson has arranged a program consisting of short films to enter- tain the young and old alike, magic stunts by a well known profes- sional entertainer, and a surprise act, the details of which will not be divulged until the evening of the banquet. Following a welcome address by Arthur S. Purdy, president of the Men's Club, there will be only two talks, one by a father and one by a son. Dr. Samuel J. Eder has been chosen to represent the fathers, and his son, Gerald J. Eder, who has displayed his ver• satility as a youthful entertainer, will respond on behalf of the sons. It is planned to start the festivi- ties promptly at 6 o'clock, in order to permit • closing of the affair at an early hour. There will be a special period for "socializing" between the various fathers and sons, as well as games, songs and contests, all looking towards a development of comradeship be- tween the old and the young. Special prizes are to be given for the oldest father, the youngest son, and the largest family group present. A specially catered meal Is being arranged. To do away with disappointments such as were suffered last year by many who came late, the committee requests that all reservations be made prior to the data of the banquet by telephoning the office of the con- gregation, Garfield 6200.

Palestine Campaign Nears Climax; Banquet for ' Sprintzak Feb. 18. "With our reception banquet in honor of Joseph Sprintzak, Pales- tine labor leader, only two weeks off, we are satisfied that the Gewerkshaften campaign will have a real victory to record in Detroit this year," declared A. I. Lipson, vice-president of the Detroit drive for the Organized Jewish Work- ers in Palestine. Mr. Lipson, who is president of the Domestic Linen Supply Co , himself has had an interesting career which was closely bound up with labor Pal- estine. Before the World War, following the historic Second Ali- yah during which the foundations of the modern Palestine labor movement were laid, Mr. Lipson was a worker in Palestine, lived and toiled in the various workers' communities of that day. Many of the contemporary Palestine labor leaders were among his associates. The campaign's success in De- troit this year has been unequalled. Aside from the unprecedented achievements of the preliminary drive for funds, the active partici- pation of many Jewish organiza- tions which in former years had remained totally passive is one of the significant aspects of the present drive. "It amply demonstrates that the Jewish masses have not remained blind to the sinister warnings which the events of the past year in Germany and elsewhere have sounded for the Jewish people," said Joseph Haggai, prominent member of the drive. "On the other hand, it represents a deci- sive and unequivocal repudiation of those elements in Zionism who have recently attempted to inject a spirit of reaction into constroe- tive Zionist efforts in Palestine and make political capital at the expense of those who are most directly setting up the foundations of the Jewish Homeland — the An opon meeting of the Zionist Organization of Detroit is sched- uled for Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 8:30 p. m., at Webster Hall.
