In a cable from Berlin, Otto D. Tolis-
chus, New York Times staff correspondent in
Germany, writes that despite the reassuring ;
statements addressed by high National So-
cialist leaders to the outside world, there is
increasing evidence that under the cover of
such statements a new anti-Semitic wave is sweeping,
through the National Socialist Party and is receiving ac-1
tive if underground support from National Socialist ad-;
ministrative authorities.
The administrative support, proceeding mainly from
the secret State police and associated organizations, so far

My dear Mr. Slomovitz:-
I am grateful to you for your
interesting letter of March fourth.
have no idea
as to the source of the story which you say came from
my old friend, Chase Osborn. All I know about the
origin of the Roosevelt family in thiii country is that
all branches bearing the name are apparently descended
from Claes Martenseen Van Roosevelt, who came from
Holland sometime before 1648 -- even the year is
uncertain. Where he came from in Holland I do not
know, nor do I know who his parents were. There was
a family of the same name on one of the Dutch Islands
and some of the same name living in Holland as lately
as thirty or forty years ago, but, frankly, I have
never had either the time or the inclination to try
to establish the line on the other side of the ocean
before they came over here, nearly thtee hundred years
ago.
In the dim distant past they may
have been Jews or Catholics or Protestants -- what
I am more interested in is whether thty were good
citizens and believers in God -- I hole they were
both.
has expressed itself in the follow-e--
ing administrative measures.
First, Jewish emigres return-
ing to Germany from other coun-
tries are being arrested and put
in "schooling camps," a new eu-
phemism for concentration camps.

there have been about 25 cases Finds Agitation Is Political,

Other Emigres Seised
At the same time the arrests tion seek to discredit the Federal,

for some returning non-Jewish are largely of a political eharaC-
emigres have suffered a similar
fate. Most of these emigres have
been expelled from France and
Holland, which have passed dras-
tic new regulations since the be-
ginning of the year to discourage
the employment of foreigners.,
.
Second, all propaganda urging
German Jews to remain in Ger-
-many, including advice to former
non-Zionist Jewish organizations
and to bewildered Jewish youths,
has been prohibited by the secret
police. Meetings in which such
advice was offered have been
broken up by the police, and even
some arrests have been reported.
For this reason the "Day of Jew-
ish Youth," which was to unite
all German-Jewish youth organi-
zations in Berlin March 10 and
11, has been indefinitely post-
poned.
Third, orders have gone out and
even been published in the press
by the less reticent Nazi adminis-
trators, instructing the police to

Old Folks Home Board
Opposes Interference
With Federation Plan
At a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Jewish
Old Folks Home held on Tues-
day, March 5, the following
resolution was unanimously
carried:
"Resolved, that the Jewish
Old Folks Home of Detroit re-
quest that all organizations of
the city refrain from making
collections of any kind in the
name of, or for the benefit of
the building fund of the Jew-
ish Old Folks Home, other
than in conjunction with the
plans for the drive for that
purpose formulated by the
Jewish Welfare Federation of
Detroit; the purpose of such
request being to prevent inter-
ference with the carefully
thought out plans for raising
of the building fund.
"It is further resolved, that
as much publicity as possible
be given to the adoption of
this resolution,"
Fred M. Butzel and' Henry Wineman on
Wednesday accepted the general chairman-
ship and pre-campaign solicitation chairman-
ship, respectively, of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign.
Announcement of the selection of these
two leaders to direct the drive was made by Kurt Peiser,
executive director of the Jewish Welfare Federation,
under whose auspices the drive is conducted here.
Mr. Peiser also announced that the ten-day period
of May 5 to 15 has been set aside for the drive.
The campaign budget, according to Mr. Peiser, will
