MUNICH, (JTA) — American
military investigators and Ger-
man police raided a house in the
camp for displaced Jews in
Fuerth, a suburb of Nuremberg,
looking for a Christian child who
disappeared from his home.
The disappearance of the child
led to the spreading of rumors
among the German population
that he was kidnapped' by Jews
and slain "for ritual purposes."
A German • boy told German
police and U. S. Army officers
proceeded to search the house,
but found nothing to support the
boy's allegation.

AS A RESULT Of MARSHALL'S MAGNIFICENT ORATORY, CON
GRESS ABROGATED ITS COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH RUSSIA IN
1911 BECAUSE OF THAT COUNTRY'S REFUSAL TO GRANT •
TRAVEL VISAS TO AMERICAN JEWS, ROMAN CATHOLIC AND
PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES.
