- BERLIN, Aug. 25, (AP)—Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, who writes under her maiden name of Dorothy Thompson, today was ordered by the secret police to leave Germany within 24 hours.
The banishment order against the wife of the Nobel prize winner was based on her alleged hostile attitude toward Germany.
Mrs. Lewis recently has written many magazine articles on Germany and the Hitler movement. It was privately reported that interview with Hitler which she published in a magazine before he came to power had much to do with the expulsion order.
Although she has been here scarcely a week, she is leaving tonight by the North Express for Paris - History Unfolded Contributor
