Berlin, April 3.—(AP)—Without offering any explanation, the government announced today that beginning at midnight no one will be allowed to leave German soil without special permission of the police stamped on his passport.

For several days reports have told of an exodus of Jews in considerable number to neighboring countries. At Koenigsberg today the authorities ordered all passports withdrawn from Jews living in east Prussia.

The newspaper Taegliche Rundschau reported this afternoon that a train had been halted by police near Dresden to prevent "an exodus of Jews to Czechoslovakia." Considerable sums of money were confiscated, the newspaper said, but Jewish passengers were permitted to return to their homes in Germany.

No Boycott Resumption.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler's National Socialist party apparently was satisfied today that it has dealt a stunning, if not a knockout, blow to what it regards as an international Jewish menace.

A resumption of Saturday's nationwide boycott which paralyzed all Jewish commercial activity was considered unlikely. Its announced purpose, to force an end to the spread stories of anti-Jewish atrocities in Germany, was believed achieved.

The Nazi also had reason to be satisfied with the permanent effects of the great organized demonstration. The boycott was kept alive unofficially yesterday in several towns in lower Silesia. There have been hundreds of Jews discharged from and many more permanently eliminated from medical and legal practice, from teaching schools and from newspaper staffs.

(Reports from Switzerland said 200 Jews and Socialist exiles were arriving daily from Germany and trains entering Denmark from Germany were crowded with Jewish refugees. Thousands more have been reported arriving in Vienna, Warsaw and other cities.)

Ready To Resume Boycott.
The Nazi leaders have made clear that the machinery is all set up to resume the boycott on quick notice, if it is found necessary. Boycott committees in all towns have been formed and the thousands of storm troops have learned their duties.
