- BERLIN. (UP)—A second conflict between Nazi Brown shirts and the Steel Helmets (German war veterans) was reported Thursday in the Palatinate, where Hitlerite troops arrested several Steel Helmet leaders and raided labor camps.
The new raids were inspired by the which charged the Palatinate Steel Helmet organization with receiving masses of former Marxist socialists into membership in preparation for a counter-revolt against the fascists.
Formation of the government's committee to manage the anti-Jewish boycotts effective at 10 a. m. Saturday, continued Thursday. A national boycott committee at Munich is headed by Nazi Deputy Joseph Streicher.
The wave of nationalism that has swept Germany in recent days was emphasized by reports from Kaiserslauten, in the Palatinate, where an immense crowd watched a public bonfire on which "all seved locally owned copies of Remarque's 'All Quiet on the Western Front' were burned."
The orator of the occasion, Professor Engel, was cheered by the crowd when he declared that "all other un-German books in our municipal libraries will be consigned to the flames."
Contracts of 28 Jewish doctors serving in municipal hospitals at Breslau were cancelled.
The government has adopted a measure dissolving the provisional economic council, a consultative body of 326 members representing all branches of German economic life. The organization will be replaced by the council of 60 members, to be appointed by the president of the Reich. - History Unfolded Contributor
