LONI')0N (WNS)—A joint An¬ glo-American plan fni finding new homes in. Africa and North nnd South America for German-Jewiah refugees hna been worked, out hy United States Ambassador Joseph Kennedy who h reportecj to be urging its adoption upon the Brit^ 'ish Govcinment. News of the plan, which is being given most serious consideration by the British Gov- cmraent, became known simultane¬ ously with the disclosure that a week before the renewed anti-'Jew- iRh terror in Germany whicli horri¬ fied the world, the United States, France and Great Britain jointly asked the Reich government to discuss the orderly emigration of refugena, but Germany has not replied, it was disclosed here thi'-, we?k. The three powers, through their Berlin embassies, suggested to Germany that she receive George Rublee, director oi the Intergovernmental Refugee Aid Committer, for negotiations on a- plan by which the refugees would be permitted to talce part of their capital with them so that othe- countries wpuld he ready to admit them. Rublee was prepared to leave for Berlin at a moment's' notice, having expected a favor¬ able reply. The terrorist campaign is now believed to have ended all hope for ^uch negotiations.
The new scheme for' bringing I'olief to the Gorman Jtws in ex¬ pected to ba Inid beforo "^^resident Roosevelt by Hugh Wil.qon, United States Amba.^saf!or to Germany, who sailed for America on Wednesday, after having been recalled in an unprecedented dip¬ lomatic move widely interpreted as the United States' gesture of pro¬ test  against  Nazi  tcrrori'im
Meanwhile, the British press he- Tan io discuss possible plans for United Angl-'American 'action. At the same time the Council for German Jewry held a special meet¬ ing at which a general appeal for new campaign funds, commensu-r rale with the ovcrw;helming trag- pdyt waa is&ued: This appeal, which is to raise money for the aid of the German Jews and which is not confined to the Jewish public, was issued with the participation of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
BERLIN (WNS)—Enraged by the recall of the American ambas¬ sador and the mounting wave of protests In tho United States and Great Britain, the Nazi press laun¬ ched a bitter attack on both coun¬ tries. The Zwoelfuhrblatt warned that the "apostles of humanitar- ianiam and^tho purposeful politi¬ cians of' Washington hammer and curse with aucTi effect that it might soon be too much for us. This Washington should be told! Or has one faijed correctly to under¬ stand Dr. Goebbels' words that any new campaign will be a bad service to the Jews of Germany ?
If ao, then it should hp repented a."? a warning which should not be taken lightly hecause it la meant damn seriously." With regard to protests in Enptland, the paper said "we nre accustomed to such impprtinances which emanate chiefly from Anglo-Saxon coun¬ tries, which defend freedom of ex¬ pression even when it becomes law¬ lessness," The Schwarze Korps, organ of the S. S. Guards, "prom¬ ised that "we shall use Jewish hostages s.vstematicnUy no matter how shocking some people may find it. Woe to the Jews if another helper is paid or incited by them and raises hia murdeious hand against a German. Not one will answer for a murdered or wound¬ ed German, but all." The same paper alao denounced Aryan Ger¬ mans who protested against the atrocities, saying what they "de¬ serve Is a good punch on the nose. We must tell them that the hour in which 'we will muzr.lc you' has come. We know that beyond thp hypocritical mask of your good will, mildnpsa and phrase-ridden humanitarianism nothing is hid¬ den except the bestial cruelty of anemic cowards^."
The Voelklschsr Beobachter de¬ nounced British criticism and ac¬ cused England of atrocities in Palestine and India. ''British his¬ tory is an example of sanguinary terrorism," the paper said, asking "where were the English cham¬ pions of humanitarianism when Jewish terrorism drove hundreds of thousands of Germans from jobs and caused tens of thousands of- suicides and brought the Reich to the rim of the abyss of ruination?" Diplomatic Political Correspon¬ dence, oi'gan of the Foreign Office, said "before other nations start criticizing the measures taken against German Jews they- would do well to look up the pages of their own hirtory and ei^amine whether .they have any reason to pass Pharisaic judgment^^upon these thin'gB*'
A great wav6 of Jewish suicides began sweeping over the Reich as the Jewish community struggled with the problem of raising the $400,000,000 fine levied upon it Hundreds of Jews from the prov¬ ince are pouring into Berlin bring¬ ing news of even worse atrocities in outlying towns. The number of Jews arrested last week is now set at over 50,000, and moat of them are expected to be kept In concen¬ tration camps unless they can ar¬ range to emigrate. All consulates in Berlin, especially the American, are being besieged by panic- stricken Jews seeking tp obtain visas although they have been told the quota ia exhausted. The United States Coi)suIate Is also being swamped by thousands of tele¬ grams from Jews abroad seeking news of relatives and friends.

Britam Bars Mdti From Negotiations
LONDON (WNS)—Because of hia record of many years, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, now in Lebanon, is iinacceptable to the British Government as one of the Arab representatives to take part in the imminent Arab-Jewish con- feroncea on Palestine, Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald told the House of Commons in the course of a statement amplifying last week's government statement of policy. Replying to a series of <luestions regarding the London meetings, MacDonald made the following points:
1—The Colonial Office is com¬ municating with the governments of Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Ye¬ men and Transjordania, but not Syiia and Lebanon, because the latter are controlled by th& French Government which will be kept fully informed; 2—In view of the invitation to the Arabs to come to London, the government' expects tho Arab rebellious activities to cease apd "if they do not end, the government must continue all measures necessary to end the dis¬ orders; 3—-the discussions will be informal, no) program being sub¬ mitted for the purpose of a vote, the possibility being that out of the talka between repiebentativcs of the Arabs, of the neighboxing countries, of tlie government and of tho Jew^ "there may develop a round-table confeience between the Jews and the Arabs"; 4—The United States will ba kept fully infnjTfiPd  of Britain's intftntlnns.

General Comdi Of Big Four Group Issues Statement
NEW YORK: Rpprp^iontatives of the Amciican Jewish Commit¬ tee, the American Jewish Con¬ gress, the B'nai B'rith and the Jewish Labor Committee, meeting ns the General Council last Sun¬ day to coniifler developments in Ger.many, issued the following joint statement:
"The world in aghast at the latest news which has come from Germany. In the hour of their op- pres'iion we ofter our fellow Jews in Germany the assurance of our deepest , sympathy and under¬ standing'.
"In the midst of our grief, we derive a measure of solace from the fact that the world has come to TealiKG that this barbarism di¬ rected against the Jews ia violence against the whole of humanity. This reaction of the entire' world is a recognition that we arc here confronted with an issue which goes far beyond the persecution, nnd torture of a particular minor¬ ity, and that today it is civiliza¬ tion itself which is under attack. All Americans—Protestants, Cath¬ olics and Jews alike—have reacted to these hideous accounts from abroad as- to a national calamity.
"The sympathy expressed by the Dean of Westminster at Armistice Day Services manifests the depth of feeling of the British people, and is symbolic of the sentiment felt and expressed everywhere. This nniversal sense of aoi'row and outrage will continue to make it-^clf felt. Intimidation cannot prevent right-thinking men throughout the world from seek¬ ing equal justice for them to whom it is denied.
"The Jew, throughout ages of persecution, ha-; maintained his faith in the God of all mankind. This faith in the sovereignty of eternal justice and the ultimate triumph of eternal truth stands as tha common heritage of man. It is om' hdpe that, true io this hori- tagOjjthe-peciiJle of ^his'artJl otlf^T countnes, having expressed their sense of moral outrage, will join in a deteiminc,d effort, not alone to save the victims of oppression in lands across the sea, but to preserve the institutions of de¬ mocracy and the security of our civilization." ,'

WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS)— In a diplomatic Rcsturo impreccd- cnipd Bincc the World War and prcnerally reRardod n.q the nearest thing to an official rebuke to Ger¬ many for its renewed anti-Jewish terrorism, the State Department in'^tvucted Hugh S. Wilson, Ambassador to Germany, to retui-n home at once for "report and con¬ sultation." While the instructions to Ambassador are technically not an official recall their effect is tantamount to that and informed government circles let it be known that it was intended to prive that effect. Feeling in official quarters is 80 strong that it Is not beyond poaaibility that Wilson's recall may bo followed by the breaking off of diplomatic relations with Germany. Officially the t)Urpose of Wilson'R Leturn ia to leport on the damage done to property of American Jews and to give the State Depart¬ ment a first hand picture of the situation. Actually his return will be a direct diplomatic alap in the face to Germany.

Recommends Topper For
Director 01 Commerce
Appointment of Isadore Topper, Columbus attbrney, as hia succes¬ sor when John Bncker becomes govejnor, was suggested last Mon¬ day by Director of Commerce Alfred A. Benesch,
Bcneiich made the sugfecstion in a letter to BiicUcr iu which he said: "I aiu very anxious that the precedent Governor Pavey estah- lishcd by appomting a Jew to his cabinet be followed."
Topper beivcd as aasihtant to Brkker when the governor-elect was attorney general. He lives at Um Foroat St.
causa of its.lntej^al policies is &n unheard of step in diplomatic pro¬ cedure, but Mr. Roosevelt thrust aside precedent and to nn amazed, group of correspondents, who jammed the oval room of the White House for his Tuesday press conference, he declared:
"The news of tho past few days from Germany has deeply shocked public opinion in the United States. Such news from any part of the world would inevitably pro¬ duce a similar profound reaction among American people in every part of the nation,
"I myself could scarcely believe that such things could occur in a twentieth century civdizatton.
"With a view to gaining a first¬ hand picture of the situation in Germany "I asked the secretary of state to order our ambjtasador in Berlin to return at once for re¬ port and consultation."
Meanwhile, Matthew Well, vice- president of the American Federa¬ tion of Labor, announced plana for forming a new national organiza¬ tion to aid and defend persecuted minorities abroad. The new move¬ ment, he said, will be of auch scope and influence as to enable it to provide relief and help in re¬ settling persecuted peoples "if and whore possible." /
NEW YOEK (WNS)^An out¬ raged American people continued this week to protest bitterly against Germany's anti-Jewiah terror. leading the assault were such notables as Secretary of th^ Interior Harold L. Ickes; Father Uobert I. Gannon, president of Fordham University; Bishop Ed' win H. Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal Church; United States Senator William H. King of Utah former Pi'esident Herbert Hoover and Alfred M. Landon, who spoke over a nationwide radio broadcast. Senator King called for a sever ancc of diplomatic relations with Germany by all civilized nations Secretary Ickes declared "America would cease to be true to her highest and best traditions were she Uj stand tongue-tied at a time of auch violationa of the laws ol humanity, auch brutal, unprovoked and un-Christian acta as we aro witnessing today in various parts of tbe world." Father Gannon re- fen ed to events in Germany aa "« baibarism thaf haa apfctasi^ed fiom Christianity and thus has learned to burn and lout and slay with a malice unknown to more simple savages.. We shall and should burn with rcBcntnient as .Vmericans before this spectacle ol tyianny." Mr. Hoover asserted that "American!, have ijioj-e than a ui"al rip-ht pnmnt? nattnon of tl*i«
world to make this protest," add¬ ing "our condemnation" of the leaders of Germany "should be without reserve" for thay are bringing to Germany "moral isola¬ tion from the entire world." Mr. Landon declared "we are prop<irly agonizing for the Jews ot Cen.-ral Europe, Tonight let ua agonize for the Gentiles of the world who will be in the end destroyed by their own \«olence."
ProiostR were also voiced by John E. Manlcy, general secretary of the International committee *( the Y, M. C. A.; Professor Arthur H. Compton, Nobel Prize winner; nnd Raymond Leslie Buell, treai- dcnt of tho Foreign Policy Associa¬ tion. Meanwhile, the National Con¬ ference of Jews and Chriatiajla called on leaders in IIBO American communities to become *'more militant," in opposition to "every deviflive faction that tonda to propagate hers tho doctrines that are creating havoc in other lands" and announced that a proposal to form a "united front of Protes¬ tants, Catholics and Jews in this country against religious and race hatred will be presented to the executive committee of the Con¬ ference when It meets in New York on Nov. 28th." The J6int Bo.vcott Council set aside the week of Nov. 27th to Dec. 4th as "anti- Nazi week" during which time special measurea will be taken to intensify the anti-Nazi boycott. Sylvia W. Eazey, executive sec¬ retary of the Descendants of tho American Revolution, telegraphed President Roosevelt "in behalf of direct descendants of those who came to this country to escape political and religious oppression," urging that if moral appeals did no good the United States should put an embargo on German goods.
PITTSBURGH (WNS)—AssaU- ing the German government as & "mad, bloodthirsty wolf" and the ''ati'ocitics, indignities and bratili- iiinr W!ine-irerpijtfineff«^g»*?*^ nian'Jowft as "one of tlie moat ap- ' palling events in history," Johh L. Lewis, chairman of the C. I. 0., told the organization's constitu¬ tional convention that he had every confidence "that our government and our State Department will make emphatic representations to tho German goverpmeht protjatingr tho actions of that govjs^rjiient in permitting these atrocities to he inflicted on tho Jewish people. , I say to th? government of tho United States, if and -ivhcn' it takes that action, the 20iOOO,000 mem¬ bers of tho C. I. 0. and their de¬ pendents will support the govern¬ ment and uphold its hands."
OSLO, (WNS)—All of Noi-way'e churches were this week ordered to say special prayers on behalf of the Jews in 'Germany. ¦ BUENOS AIRES (WNS)—La Prensa, Argentine's most impor¬ tant newspaper, declared that Ger¬ many's new anti-Jewish terror give* "tho impression oi a move backward to the eras of implacabla persecution." The paper warns that "if an entire race is declared the enemy today, tomorrow it niay be a religion."

Aaaeiting that the "Christian world is on trial" in the case of Grynzspan, Miss Thompson lointed out that Jaws could not de- t'ond him because Germany has wamed that if any Jews anywhere protest at what Is happening, fur- Iher oppressive maaaurea will ba taken." Three hours after ahe went off the air she had received nearly 2,000 tetagramB pledgm^ aid.
