SCHMIDT Berlin. Aug. 11 "in Germany i.s a profession in Itself. Nazi authorities, on the one hand, have devised all possible pressures to encourage Jews to leave and on the other have raised a multitude of obstacles to emigration to be added to the difficulty of getting permission to enter a new country.

The net effect of the relch's obstacles is that a Jew usually gets out with about 7 per cent of his fortune left. Yet about 235.000 Jews have cmi- grated from the old reich alone 1933. Exact figures are hard to obtain and are complicated by additions to the reich and illegal migration. But reliable estimates for. the old reich are that 70,000 have gone to the United States on the regular immigration quota; 60,000 to Palestine; 30.000 to Prance; 30.000 legally and illegally to Holland, Belgium and Switzerland: 20,000 to England, more than half on temporary permits; 14,000 to the Argentine: 10.000 to Brazil; 25.000 to the rest of 8outh America; 7,000 to South Africa; 12,000 to Hhamchal, the one plucc can go without a visa.

The rest lire in every country on earth. Open to Mast American countries now admit only relatives or genuine farmers. Australia plans to take 15,000 in three years. Three or four thousand soon may begin an experiment In opening up virgin territory In Guiana. European countries arc closed with the partial exception of Britain.

Britain from the lir.st lias care- selected Its Immigrants and Him managed to en masse a women's clothing industry from Berlin to Manchester, and a Leipzig fur Industry to London. She has admitted scientists with special knowledge In armaments Industries and men who could new businesses, like the famous restaurateur Kempin.ski who now docs business on Regent street. At present, however, the only opportunities appear to be for Jewish girls who are admitted to alleviate the of servant girls and nurses. For most emigrants European countries are at best a transit point. A transit camp for 3.500 young Jewish men who must leave in six to twelve months Is now almost full at Richborough.

Kenl. England, while smaller camps exist in Holland and Belgium. Children Leave Weekly One hundred and i Jewish children leave Germany every week. Some 6.000 have gone to England, most to friends, relatives and schools. Another 1,500 have gone to Holland, 600 to Belgium and a few hundred to Prance and Sweden.

The actual process of leaving Germany may take months or years, as in 11 ic ease of ihs United States, whose quota has a waiting list up to three years. Some kinds of visas and passports have been and still f-J can be obtained, but German, Jewleli, and foreign authorities have larcly throttled the trade. AiMumlng that a Jew knowtt there IH somewhere he can he then inakcs hl0 "emigrants donation," a tax ranging from 1 per cent on total capital of $2,000 to 10 per cent on a million, collected by the Reich Union of Jews In Germany. ff In Berlin he to the recently organized central emigration bureau, where he he has paid all regular taxes. He pay.s another capital levy of 10 to 15 per cent called a "relch flight tax." If the police give their approval he now geh his passport with a stamped across It.

LOM Reaches 90 Per Cent His remaining money the Jew may transfer to a bank abroad by a procedure In which he averages a loss of more than 90 per cent. Property In furniture, linen, he may take only If It was bought before 1933 or is obviously necessary for daily life. Under no circumstances may be lake out valuable things like musical instruments, cameras, unless those are part of hijs profession. Nor may he take any gold, platinum, silver, or precious stones, with the exception of wedding rings, personal watches, and a limited amount of table wear. To be caught at the frontier with such objects would be doubly dangerous since Jews are supposed to have to the state months ago all but the excepted items.

Having packed the remainder of Iiis belongings under the eyes of a customs official the Jew faces only the hurdle of frontier customs inspection. Ruses Are Numberless The devices by which this final and decisive barrier is sometimes circumvented in order to get out cash or valuables are numberless. But one of the most ingenious was the ruse of a Jew who left in a car the chromium-plated bumpers of which concealed a fortune In solid gold. Some experts think the Naeis will never force all Jews from Germany. Others believe that those who do not leave will have died in another 15 years.

They point out that the excese of deaths over births is estimated to have cut the Jewish population by 30,000 persons in six years and that there are now in the old reich only 25.000 to 27,000 Jewish children under 15 whose emigration faces far fewer difficulties than that of older persons. The United States may possibly admit 20,000 children from the old reich, Austria and the protectorate. Finally, physicians estimate that the old reich Jewish birthrate, so low even before 1933 that Jewish families averaged children, now has virtually disappeared at 2 children per family. And 33 children per family are generally considered necessary to maintain a jopulation. ON FLUID MILK START STRUGGLE IMPROVED TRANSPORTATION BRINGS ON TIGHT FOR MARKETS BY GEORGE CULLEN Washington, Aug.

of a truckload of "bootleg" cream in Washington last spring focusscd public attention on a growing problem of the dairy Industry--the struggle of rival producers for the rich fluid milk rnar- kct.s of the populous metropolitan centers. The struysjle been intensified, say government dairy experts, by the rise In milk production and a consequent scramble by producers to dispose of their surplus in the most profitable markers. I The value of tiie fluid milk market was recognized by the supreme court in its recent decision in the New York milk case. "The market lor fluid milk for use as a lood beverage." the court, "is the most profitable to the producer. Consequently all producers strive for ii." Better Transport I Development ol lank cars and 1 tank trucks brought formerly inaccessible markets within reach of distant producers but they have in many instances found tiieir entry barred by state and municipal I health regulations.

I These laws, designed to guarantee I a sanitary milk supply, have in some cases, as was charged in Washington. become "Chinese walls" to keep out the product of outside producers and preserve the market for those within a specified milkshed. Most communities now have ordinances which permit the sale of milk their dealers only by farmers who have been licensed or approved by the municipal health authorities. These farmers usually are within easy access of municipal health inspectors. They comprise what is known as the city's "milk- there is less milk production in the fall and winter than in the and summer, municipal health authorities have expanded their mllksheds to insure adequate during "short" or low production period.

Aug. to an area of approximately 25.000 acres, the giant Sequoias of California remain a puzzle to naturalists because the trees are believed to be survivors of a species that once covered the greater part of the earth's surface.

The Sequoia, famed for its stout trunk and towering height, now is found only in highly localized sections of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Studies have shown, however, according to Supervisor J. E. Elliott of Sequoia national forest, that fossilized remains of the species are widely distributed over North America, Europe and Asia. Thrived In Greenland Fossil areas from Greenland to California indicate that these trees probably were dominant or principal species in ancient forests.

Strangely enough, they now are confined to small group in the Sierras from Placer county near the California-Oregon border to Tulare county in the central part of this state. The size of the Sequoia species is illustrated by Elliots report that of 27.000 living trees within Sequoia national forest, some 6.000 are mote than 10 feet In diameter. Noted Hardtama Freaks of nature are common in Sequoia groves. Living evidence ol the hardiness of the tree is found in one which narrowly missed extinction when lumbering activities were at their height. Sawed nearly clear off the stump, with only 12 to 14 inches of wood holding, and an undercut large enough for an average man to sit in comfortably, the tree has survived and continued to grow rfnce damaged In the 1880s or 90s.

In another grove is a tree completely aawed off but standing. One living tree has a room 13 feet square and feet high cut in base, while another, known as the wishbone tree, has been burned out at the base that It fonts a large arch. A road formerly went through the arch. NVwHMWw 9 Younartown, Aug. Richard ft.
