BUDAPEST (WNS)-^IIunKary officially embarked on a program of anti-Scmitism when Premier Kolomon Daranyi laid before the lower house of Parliament a" sweep¬ ing anti-Jewish omnibus bill which will limit drastically Jewiah par¬ ticipation in Hungary's cultural, economic and social life by set¬ ting ur an all-embracing numerus clausus limiting Jewiah employ^ ment in the professions, commerce and industry to 20. percent. De¬ scribing the measure as aiming nt "more efficient' protection .of the social and economic balance," Pre¬ mier Daranyi aaid .that it was as far as .hia government would go in restrictions against the .Jews. Introduced a day aftor its details had been outlined by Minister of Justice Ladislaus Mikecz at a con¬ ference of the government Nation¬ al Union Party, thebill was refer¬ red to.a commission for study. It is expected to take several weeka before it is reported to the charfiber for debate. Ultimately, passage of the biU- is regarded as certain since thb/government has been under'heavy pressure for months from rightist and Nazi groupa which have been demand¬ ing even more rigorous curbs on the Jews, ,
The bill: sets up the follo^ving rea'trictions: ' l-Estahliahes. new guilds, for .'the theater, movies and preaa in .which only'20 percent of the. membera may be Jews; 2- limits to 20 percent the anioiint of wages and salaries that may be paid to; jews by any buaineas or banking enterprise and forbids any such enterprise tb. 'employ ,more than 20 percent ilews; 3-neW Jew¬ ish admiaaiona to the legal, medi¬ cal and engineering chambers' are limited to 5'percent becauae Jews
are aaid to constitute more than HO percent oi; the proportion in those professions; 4-fbrhids .Tews to hold any public office; 5-pro- videa for the revision of citizen¬ ships Granted to Jews after July 1, 1D14; 6-dofines a Jew as anyone who professed thb Jewiah religion prior to Aug. 1, 1910, thua affect¬ ing all Jews who embraced Chria¬ tianity in the last ID years; 7-for- bids any commercial .or industrial enterprise employing less than. 10 people firom. discharging a Chris¬ tian worker unless, he is -replaced by another Christian;' 8-provideB for revision of permits held .by Jews for publication of ^papers.
Exempt from the proviaions of the bill aro war veterana, war pensionera and Jews wounded or diaablcd in tho war. The reatric- tions are to become effective in trade, and industry witiun fiVe years, in the theater, movies and journalism in 'one year-. Earlier reports that the government in- tend,ed to revise ownership of real estate acquired sinco 1919 wero not .confirmed. ..But in response to a demand, by, the Hungarian Agricultural Chamber the minis¬ try of agriculture, issued a decree, forbidding the practice of shechita throughout the country. Govern¬ ment spokesmen.' indicated'. that these measures, when passed by Parliainent, will be carried out gradually in order not to ..upSet the country's economy. '
Immediate action on the bill by Parliament was postponed, it is: believed^ because the govern¬ ment is seeking meana of circum¬ venting the constitutional guaran¬ tees of equality for all .citizens and also of getting around the minority rights guarantees in the peace treaties.   ;

VIFINNA (WNS)—-Barred from participating in the anschluss ple- l>i3cito which resulted in a moro tlian 9D percent affirmative vote, Austria's Jews waited with nndis- BMiacd anxiety tho imihediate fut¬ ure. It was. predicted that all of the .ipocific anti-Jewish measures Hint were held in nboyanco until al;tGr tho plebiscite would now be formally applied. During tho voting and after the results were announced Jews remained within ilooi-.i, fearing to provoke the joy¬ ous crowds that .thronged' the strceta. ...
_ On tho. day before the plebis¬ cite, however, Nazi audiam toward tho Jewa reached new. heights when scores of Jews.were dragged from their homes and forced to kneel before Nazi storm troopers and to pcrformall sorts of menial tasks under the watchful.eyes of servant: girls formerly employed in Jewish households. While the majoritir of Jews hid in terror in cellars or behind liarricaded doors, those who ventured out were im¬ mediately conscripted for street cleaning. Tho Nazis alao amuae'd themselvca by. forcing'JeWs to cldiin' boots. Many cafes posted signs reading "come and-get your shoes cleaned free by Jews." Sevr eral Jews were forced to march through tlie streets carrying signs arouhd their necks i-eading: "We are criminals, vote yea. We are the boat lavatory cleanera. Wb clean shoes. After tho plebiacite we will leave Austria."
Rumors that circulars threaten¬ ing Hitler's lifo. had been dlstri- hutcd in various streets further alarmed the JewS and many sought to flee across the bbrder. The ter¬ ror broiight a renewal of .the Sui¬ cido 'epidemic,   28' Jewish  bodies

NEW YORK (WNS)—Convoca-' tion of a temporary National Con¬ ference of the Jews of America under .tbo joint auspices of the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress and tho B'nai Brith. for tho purpose of drafting a .specific program of a*;- tion to deal with the' probiema fac¬ ing American Jewry is propoaed ih hn editorial in. thia week's Eccon- Btructionist, organ of the Society for tho Advancement of Judaiam. Tho Reconatructioniat auggeats thaf; tho three organizations volun¬ tarily subordinate themselves to the authority of the .proposed con¬ ference.. Ifc is also suggested that into this conference there be -in¬ vited representatives of other national - - Jowish organizations "such as tbo various rabbinical councils, synagogue federations, social aervico councils, Jewiah labor groups, Zionist and Yiddi shiat associations." Admitting that such a conference -would be' self- constituted "and without a direct mandato from American Jewry," the editorial declares that "if the base of .inception possess a meas¬ ure of moral authority such as .no agency existing at present could claim" and would, by its -\fery existence, "inhibit .irresponsible Utterance by individual groups." Pending the establishfnenfc bf a permanent structure,, the Recon- structionist proposes that the con¬
ferenco address itaelf to tho fol¬ lowing four-j^oint program: 1-"E5- tablisbmcnt of n centralized agency tb resist tho propaganda of onti- Semitiam that threatens eo serious¬ ly the welfare of the Jows of this country"; 2-"E3tablishmcnt of aome instrument to educate tho American peoplo to a proper un¬ derstanding and evaluation of the Jewish group"; 3-"EStdbUshmbnt of an agency to deal systematic¬ ally with the problem of tlio econo¬ mic maladjustmont of the Jewish grobp and that bt economic ex- clii3ion"r. 4-"Eatabll8hmont of a uninficd agency oh behalf,of the persecuted Jewries of'Europe."
The BeconstructionlBt also urges that once the conference Is con¬ stituted it speed the organization of the Jews of each community "into- demociratic, authorativ* units" deriving "their sanction from all members of those com¬ munities" and thus empowering them alone to spealc with justice in their behalf. "Onca a. large part of the Jowish communities of America have been ao organized," the editorial soys, "their repre¬ sentatives can constitute tho per¬ manent National Conference of tha Jews of America.- So integration and centralization of Jev/ish effort shall have been attained. And tho • Jews of this country shall havo created a proper instrument for dealing -with their apecial problems.

Piiest tauils Nazi   . Solution Of Jewish Problem      .
VIENNA (WNS) — Hitler's solution of the^ Jewish question in Austria was endorsed by Pastor Brecklo   of   Trinity   Church,   a Catholic leader formerly regarded as friendly toward the Jews,, in an article appearing in Catholic Ac¬ tion,   The first open attack on the Jews . by   a' Catholic   cliurchman since the annexation  of Austria, was widely reprinted in the Nazi press.     In   his   article    Pastor Brecklo said that ''when Der Fueh¬ rer refuses to permit mixture -with a, once select peopje, it is not a hardship ho .is * imposing,  but a holy  work.   . Many  friends have aaked me h'ow I, as a paator and a believer in Christian loye, can approve tha expulsion of the jews. To them I have replied that re¬ placement of Jews has always heen according to the will of our God. Nobody called  th© Jews  to the countriea of Eurojpei.   They came as  uninvited  gueats  and  pushed themselves so si^rongly to the fore¬ front of all public professions, not always by excejlc.nt performances, that tha least one can say is there came to exist a disproportion. The situation- demanded a change and whilo no one dared to attack the delicate .matter thb: Jewish ques¬ tion remained' unsolved, : Now -the Fuehrer ia solving the matter radi¬ cally   and   extensively  but   in   a free and humane way for both parties,: as well for the Aryans as for tho Jews."

Referring to ,the new Jewiah tragedy in Auatria, Locker-Lamp¬ son alluded to the terriblo condi¬ tions facing Prof. Freud and other distinguished figures in Austrian Jewry.-; He protestedi against what he called the .Government's "lack of grit in fulfilling its pledge to the -Jewish people in Palestine" ahd against Britain "receiving or¬ ders from Mussolini" as' to what ought to bo done; in Paleatine He-quoted from a correspondent of the Times -who,stated that an Arab could be hired 'to kill a Jew for five pounds. "Where does that money Come from?" Commander Locker-Lampaon demanded,. Hia proposal (Was 'that persecuted Jews outside- Palestine receive Palea- tiniaii citizenship by paying an annual fee to the Palestine Gov¬ emment, thereby helping to finance Palestine, Opposition to the pro- posal -was voiced by Brig. Gen. H- Clifton Brown, conservative, who aaaertcd that the proposal was- calculated to cauae more Britiah victims in Palestine. 'While he was sorry i for persecuted Jews, the proposal was likely" io Inflame tho Arabfi and do nothing to improve the Jewiah position, he declared.
