Article Text: BERLIN, Nov. 15. (AP)—All political lights were taken from Jews in Germany today by an official decree, defining closely the citizenship and racial laws promulgated by the Reichstag at its Nurnberg session during the September convention of the Nazi party.

"The Jew cannot be a Reichs citizen, cannot vote or occupy public office," ruled the decree, published in the Official Gazette.

"Jewish functionaries of the government will be pensioned December 31, 1935."

Another decree, dealing with the new blood honor laws, forbade marriages between Jews and "Quarter Jews," or between "Quarter Jews" themselves .

Aryan domestic servants may remain in the service of Jews, the decree provided, if they are 35 years of age or over.
