THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE April 14, 193' 6 THE CENTER Published By Board of Editors of the Jewish 1025 North Milwaukee Street, Milwaukee NEWS Center University Exclusions Continue In Germany Berlin. (J.T.A.) No Jew in Bavaria will be allowed admission to the medical school of any University in that province, according to an announcement made by the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Dr. Stutzel. At Leipzig University, the period during which no Jewish student may be admitted has been fixed for the next five years. In the province of Baden and in the city of Kiel, all Jewish professors and lecturers have been dismissed and in the Government hospitals all Jews, except those assistants whose immediate discharge might imperil the health of patients.

GEORGE M. PEIZER, Executive Director FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1933 American Jewish Congress Puts Off Meeting to May 13 New York. (J.T.A.) The problems affecting American as well as European Jewry, with particular emphasis on the unprecedented spread of anti-Semitism in Central Europe, will be discussed at the eleventh annual convention of the American Jewish Congress, which will be held in New York City, May 13-15, instead of April 30 in Washington, it was announced by Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the American Jewish Congress. This change in date and place of the convention, Mr.

Deutsch stated, has been affected at the advice of the various Jewish communities throughout the country and branches of the American Jewish Congress, which demanded more time in order to be properly represented at this most important gathering in the history of the American Jewish Congress. Spaniards Welcome Einstein Appointment Madrid. (J.T.A.) The acceptance by Dr. Albert Einstein of the Spanish government's invitation to him to occupy the chair of the research professorship of science at Madrid University, has been received joyfully by the heads of the Spanish Government, chiefly by Fernando de Los Rios, Minister of Public Instruction. In a statement to the press, Professor de Los Rios, pointed out the only purpose of the invitation was to enrich the University with so magnificent a world figure as Professor Einstein.

This acceptance does not cancel Professor Einstein's engagement, beginning October 1, as a member of the faculty of the School of Mathematics of the New Institute of Advanced Study, affiliated with Princeton University. With Princeton and Madrid thus competing for the services of Professor Einstein, it can easily be seen how venomous and absurd are the statements of the Nazi press to the effect that Einstein's achievements have won recognition only in Jewish circles. TRIANGLE DYE WORKS ANNOUNCES LOW PRICES A substantial increase in pre-East-er business is reported by Mr. Man-del, manager of the Triangle Dye Works, with stores at 2234 N. Far-well avenue and 200 E.

Center street. The new prices established for the spring business are so attractive that a veritable deluge of spring cleaning business has resulted from this announcement. The Triangle Dye Works, has a very efficient delivery system, to call and deliver in addition to the two retail outlets above mentioned. It specializes in the cleaning and pressing of dresses, ladies' coats, men's suits and coats as well as carpets, rugs, draperies, etc. It has also announced a special price on cleaning and blocking men's hats.

All hats cleaned and blocked are returned in individual boxes after being put through the circle-izing process which is the newest method of hat renovating. The Triangle Dye Works invites a visit to carefully scrutinize the fine quality of their work and at prices that mean a distinct saving to their customers. Home Anti-Nazi Protests in France Paris. J.T.A. Edouard Herriot, former Premier of France, addressed a mass meeting in Lyons in protest against the withdrawal of human rights from the Jews in Germany.

At a meeting here addressed by Leon Bl um, there was organized a League to Combat Anti-Semitism. M. Blum, in a rousing address, associated himself in the protest against the maltreatment of Jews as one who himself had been born a Jew and had never forgotten that he was a Jew.

(J.T.A.) In the courts of Altona, Dr. Jonas and Rudolf Warburg are the only two Jewish lawyers who will in future be admitted to practice, according to a report in the Boersen Courier. A sign that the Nazis may be calming down was seen in a decree of Minister of Justice Kerrl that Jewish notaries and lawyers may now again apply for admission to the courts, since special cases require special treatment. Applicants, in their written applications, must declare their loyalty to the present government. It is calculated that 20,000 non-Jewish employees were dismisssed from the offices of Jewish lawyers who are unable to continue their practice.

1. and DASHES If anyone is in need of special shelves or other cabinet or carpenter work, surely our friend Berke will bring his triangle, rule, and such-like engineering kit to your service. No, we do not guarantee that the aforesaid shelf will fit, but it will be done strictly according to the rules; and fit or misfit, rules must be obeyed. Camp Sidney Cohen "addicts" are just incurable. In the midst of our last snow storm the phone rang and a small voice piped "When do we sign up for camp?" Only a dyed-in-the-wool camper would get a yen for camp on such a day.

Hikers a prize ought to be offered for the most ingenious matzos sandwich brought on your Sunday hike. Another ought to go to the lunch-bringer who finds one sheet of matzos whole on opening his box. Neither Nate, Bessie, nor Milton (any of them) need expect that any of our money will be wagered on them for the latter event. We know those lively crickets and their antics too well.
