THE BAKERSPIELD CALIFORNIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1938 13 Climactic Phase of Nazi War to Eliminate Jews Examined By EOWAKD W. BEATT1E, JR. United Prcss.Staff Correspondent JDERLIN, Dec. climactic phase of a Nazi campaign to eliminate Jews from German life is one month old. "What arc tho results? What is the condition of Jews still in tho Reich? observers seeking answers to those questions start with the death on November 9 of Ernst vom Ruth, German diplomat who was assassinated in Paris by a young Polish Jews, Herschcl Grynszpan, whose parents had boon driven from their home at Hanover.

clays of looting and organized destruction of Jewish property by bands rot the stage for an of- fTcial campaign of oppression designed to drive Jews from Germany. Today, a few Jewish shops have reopened in an effort to find an officially approved buyer for their stocks before they are forced to close their doors finally three weeks from today. Many other Jewish shops have boon "aryanizcd" or are doing a lit- tlo business by virtue of tho that they have signs In their windows announcing: to Aryans subject to approval of the Several thousand of (he arrested (luring (lie first week of (lie campaign Imvc been released from I'onciMilratioii cuiiiiis and arc permit ted to return to thoir with a warning to leave Germany as quickly as pos- Jiililo. There are few arrests these days. Ofcaslonnlly tho wife of a.

Jew who "disappeared" during the first days tho anti-Semitic campaign answers the front door boll and find a man standing there. Ho hands hor a small package and says: "These are tlio ashes of your husband. There will bo three marks charge, please." That scene has occurred a number of times, but in general there aro few deaths due to mistreatment of Jews so fur as can be learned. Thn wave of suicides which occurred oarly In the anti-Semitic drive has died down. Physically Jews arc not now sub- to the.

constant terror which gripped them a month URO. They aro not in physical danger now if The Holiday Season Is Show Going Every Show a Good One they stay away from the places they have been told to avoid, including principal streets and buildings of Berlin. But the series of decrees during the last month and those which are certain to come in the next few weeks is "Ghettoizing" them as surely as did the massive Cains which 150 years ago were stretched each night across streets leading into the Jewish quarter of Frankfort-On-Main. The object of the campaign is not to herd them into Ghettos. Nazi spokesmen admit that tho campaign is designed to create such consternation abroad that foreign nations will be forced to provide a refuge for mass emigration of 600,000 Jews still in the Reich.

The Nazis believe this can bo achieved within two years. Meanwhile, Nazi officials say that the Jews will not starve. One party spokesman estimated that Jews without other means of support will receive a monthly relief dole of 30 marks, or about 40 cents a clay. Leaving cost of rent aside, they will have one mark a day for food and clothing. A loaf of gray bread costs 42 pfennigs out the 100 pfennigs in a mark.

One egg costs 1- or 18 pfennigs. The cheapest cut of beef costs about SO pfennigs a pound. Butter costs mark 60 pfennigs a pound. POSTERS SHOW BRITISH ARAB TERRORISM BERLIN, Dec. 12.

(A, illustrated posters on bulletin boards of Nazi precinct headquarters are depleting British soldiers firing on Arabs and destroying Arab villages. Headers were informed that "world conscience is asleep when England's soldiers mow down Arabs with their guns, but it Is awake when a few windows of Jewish junk shops and synagogues arc smashed in Germany." The posters close with a warning that "the more insolent attempts of meddlers at interfering with internal German problems become, the more radically we will solve these problems." Celebration Held by Delano Church (Continued From Page Seven) fact that she and her sister, Mrs. A. E. Brooks, were the oldest inhabitants in point of time, coming here as girls in 1884.

Mrs. E. Curtis Long Beach, kept the audience in a gale of laughter as she recounted her impressions when she arrived 31 years ago. She told of many amusing incidents as a member of tho church choir of 31 years ago. Duct Mrs.

Celia Ketchum, now of For- tcrville, was present. Mrs. Kotchum and Mrs. A. E.

Brooks entertained wHh a duet which they sang many years ago, "Whispering Hope," and were accompanied at the piano by Miss Janet Struthcrs, who has served the church as pianist for 24 years. Mrs. Brooks also spoke of the early days. Mrs. Charles W.

Evans of San Francisco who served the pioneer church as organist and period of 25 years thereafter, told of the beginning of the church following tho arrival of a group of traveling Methodists who pitched a tent and held services until the rain drove them out, then continued following tho rain. She loaned them her organ and played for the meetings. The choir of 20 years ago was present and sang, "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder." The personnel included Mesdames Celia Ketchum, Porterville, Nellie Bulock, A. E. Brooks, Irving H.

Burroughs, lUcFarland, E. Curtis Clark, Long Beach, Charles Evans, San Francisco, Miss Lyda Griswold and Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Coddington.

The Reverend Harry Branton, of Pasadena, builder of the modern church plant, spoke of his experiences as builder of the church, and expressed appreciation of the part played by the late Dr. John A. Copeland in making possible the church. The W. C.

Bolkin of Temple City, who followed the Reverend Mr. Branton and cledi- cated the church, spoke of his pastorate. Chatter From Hollywood in "BRAVE LITTLE TAILOR" From the Comic Sheets to Screen!

TTOLLYWOOD, Dec. easier to find a yachtsman than a cowboy on the set of "The Oklahoma Kid," and there is some talk of changing the picture's title to "Sailors on Horseback." Jimmy Cagney, the Kid himself, never before had been on the hurricane deck of a cayuse, but he owns and sails a 65-foot boat, Martha, which usually is stabled at Newport Harbor. And the star's director, Lloyd Bacon, not only is a lieutenant-commander in the U. S. navy, reserve, but also has a 52-foot motor sailer, Cielito II.

Dick Mayberry, Bacon's assistant, spends his spare tirtie galloping over the waves in a 30-foot auxiliary ketch, Celar. Donald Crisu, in the featured role of an elderly judge who finally shows the Kid the error of his outlaw ways, is Hollywood's foremost yachtsman, has owned three large crafts, is buying another, and holds his own master's papers. Border Ruffian Is Sailor ARD BOND, one of the border ruffians who dies in front oC Cagney's guns, is a regular member of the crew of Director John Ford's 100-foot power yacht. Ford, by the way, now is directing "Stage Coach," another western with several nautical cowboys in the cast. Of course Errol Flynn is famous as a deep-water wanderer, and his book of maritime adventure, "Beam End," still sells an occasional copy.

He owns the 75-foot ketch, Sirocco, in which he frequently plays hookey from his studio duties, but right now he's sailing a stormy role in the frontier thriller, "Dodge City," as the rootin'-tootin' sheriff. Victor Jory is a homicidal gun fighter in "Dodgr: City," but the only things he ever actually killed were fish. He cruises and trolls the gampy waters off the coast of lower California. Another salty member of the company is Cliff Lyons, a stunt rider who doubles for Flynn when there's any dangerous feat to be done. But Lyons is just as much at home along the Kan Pedro water front as in a San Fernando horse corral, for he owns the 45-foot schooner Los Amigos.

Buck Jones Goes to Sea HE newly spurred cowboys are not the only ones who divide their time between sea and sagebrush. Buck Jones is just as handy with a hawser as with a lass-rope. And maybe handier. In 1936 he sailed as a crew member aboard his own schooner, Sartartie, in the race to Honolulu. On quiet cruises, he skippers the craft himself.

Leo Carrillo, descendant of California dons and a horseman in I scores of westerns, owns and sails the Thetis. Warner Baxter rode to fame as the "Cisco Kid" and will play the same role in a remake of I the picture. But he's also the master of the big cabin cruiser Warwin, which he saw on Lake Erie and had brought around to the Pacific. Tho name is a combination of his own and that of his wife, Winifred Bryson. Riders of Deep Blue Sea O'BRIEN has done so well in westerns that he went cast and bought a Gloucester fisherman which he expects to enter in California sailing races.

Tom Mix and Ken Maynard used to be two of the most active yachtsmen, but the sailing and circus seasons are in conflict, so they have devoted recent summers to traveling wilh shows. Maynard still owns his yacht, the Nymph. Dick Powell isn't top-hand material for anybody's ranch, but he did play in "Cowboy From Brooklyn," and then as a steeplechase rider in "Going Places." But he prefers to go places in a 02-foot Eroica, a shiny contraption of mahogany and teak, which formerly was owned by Jascha Heifetz, the fiddler. A famous seagoing westerner is Zano Grey, most of whoso stories have been made" into movies. He has had a succession of j'achts, most them named Fisherman, and he now is sailing the Fisherman III as ho writes about the cattle rustlers in Skull Gulch.

Sally Rand Cancels Dance but Offers 50 Per Cent Refund CACRASIENTO, Dec. 12. (U. A lot of people were disappointed today because Sally Rand canceled her bubble dance last night but they couldn't exactly complain when she refunded half their admission price.

The box office manager reported sadly that 30 per cent of those present accepted the refund offer.
