Berlin—(AP)—Americans in Berlin are busy these days knocking down with smiles a story going the rounds of the German capital that every German national in the United States has been compelled to wear the Swastika, leading to orders that Jews in Germany must wear a Yellow Star of David on their left breasts.

Jews have been wearing the Star of David since Sept. 19 and throughout the city one hears the people saying: "The Jews must wear the Yellow Star because America compels our Germans over there to wear the Swastika."
