Germans Revive Ghetto Conditions In Jews'New Rules Restricted Living Areas Are Inaugurated by Berlin Officials ■r the Aeeocleted Preu. BERLIN, Dec. 3.—Berlin officially restricted Jews today with an ap proach to ghetto conditions. The capital’s police chief, Count Wolf Hendrick von Helldorf, gave the signal for inauguration of a sys tem of banned streets, forbidden areas and restricted living quarters for German Jews which undoubtedly will be followed by other cities. Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels on November 15, five days after the current anti-Semitic drive started, had pledged there would be no ghetto for German Jews, but newspaper headlines observed: “No Ghetto, but Sharpest Division.’’ Forbidden to Drive Cars. Coincidental with the Berlin police Chief's action was a decree by the chief of all German police, Heinrich Himmler, withdrawing drivers’ li censes and automobile and motor cycle permits immediately from all German Jews. His order asserted the assassina tion of Ernst vom Rath, secretary In the German Embassy in Paris, by the young Polish Jew, Herschel Grynszpan, showed that Jews were "undependable and unsuited to keep ing or driving motorized vehicles.” DNB, the official news agency, commented that "this preventive measure against Jewish arrogance gives an expression of the healthy sense of justice of the German people.” After Monday, Jews except those of foreign nationality, may not enter government buildings in the Wilhelmstrasse without special per mit, nor visit such places as the memorial to the unknown soldier, museums, operas, athletic grounds. May Bar Window Shopping. Window shopping, even, along Kurfuerstendamm, Unter Den Lin den, Leipzigerstrasse, Friedrich strasse, the main shopping streets, may soon be forbidden Jews, DNB said. Other representative ave nues—like Tauentzienstrasse—which once were lined with exclusive Jew ish-owned shops will be barred to Jews. They may not attend the movies or theaters. To enter a for bidden area may mean a $60 fine or six weeks in jail. Helldorf said, “Jews living in or next to the main streets and repre sentative boulevards must expect that in the Immediate future the Jewish ban will be extended also to these streets.” He further suggested Jews find rooms in central and north side streets, already inhabited mostly by Jews. He named Kuenz, Linien and Grenadier streets particularly. To Berlin residents these names connote cheap liquor houses, crimi nals' hideouts, tawdry pawnshops, second-hand clothing "stores and squalid tenements of Jewish immi grants from Eastern Europe. They lie in the section known as the "Scheunenviertel”—a quarter of squalor and riff-raff. Truck Decree Later. Jews will have until December 31 to turn in their motor licenses and driving permits, but the ban on operation and ownership of all mo tor vehicles, except trucks, was effec tive immediately. A decree regard ing truck ownership will be issued later. Himmler's decree said, ‘‘General reasons of security and the protec tion of the common weal” forbid Jewish ownership or operation of cars and motorcycles. DNB said: ‘‘The German Aryan has long felt it to be a provocation and a danger to public life to see a Jew Bitting at the steering wheel of a motor vehicle or to see him using auto roads of Adolf Hitler, created by German workers’ hands. This condition for which the German people has hitherto stood with un exampled patience has now reached an end. Jews no longer have any place at the steering wheel of an automobile.” Tunisia <Continued From First Page.) granting unconditional rights of bel ligerency to the Spanish Insurgents, was seen as raising grave obstacles in Mr. Chamberlain's path. France to Tolerate No Interference PARIS, Dec. 3 (JP).—France will tolerate no interference in Tunisia, Qualified sources said tonight, what ever may be the outcome of the French protest to Italy against the Fascist clamor over the French African protectorate. The. protest was made yesterday after Italian deputies and the con trolled Fascist press had indicated that Italy was dissatisfied with the status quo in Tunisia. The Italian foreign minister. Count Galeazzo Ciano, was disclosed today to have disavowed any official responsibility. This disavowal cleared up the situa tion somewhat but concern per sisted. The French were piqued especially by the statement ine yesterday's Rome newspaper II Giomale d'ltalia that Italy is “ready to inarch against France if necessary.” It was met with the comment in authorized quarters that France no matter what the circumstances, would not budge. Stands on 1935 Agreement. France, it was stated in official circles, feels the Tunisian ques tion was settled definitely by the January, 1935, agreement between Premier Mussolini and the then French premier, Pierre Laval. That agreement granted Italian residents of Tunisia the right to remain Ltal ian citizens but on the understand ing that they refrain from political demonstrations. "We see no reason to add or de tract from the provisions of that agreement,’’ a qualified spokesman said today. "It is definitely a set tled issue.” In addition to Count Ciano’s statement, made to the French am bassador, Andre Francois-Poncet, the French government would like a BALTIMORE.—PLANE LANDS.

The French, who feared the Ital ian tactics might be to raise the question of self-determination for Italian residents of Tunisia and Corsica on the basis of internal dis satisfaction. were heartened by ex pressions of loyalty from both re gions. Representatives of the Tunisian Parliament presented unanimous assurances of loyalty to France to the resident-general and asked that their readiness to fight to retain French control be transmitted to the government in Paris. A gigantic demonstration of Cor sicans was organized for tomorrow at Bastia.

He brought his ship down to a smooth landing at 5:30 p.m„ without injury to pas sengers or the plane, despite the muddy condition of the ground.

Italy, France "at War" 3 Years, Says Gay da ROME, Dec. 3 </P).—France's bris tling reaction to Italian designs on French-ruled territory was met to day by new Fascist charges in an exchange of sallies which hindered efforts to patch up Italian-French differences. Vlrginio Gayda, who usually re flects the government view, wrote in II Giomale d’ltalia that a virtual “state of war” has existed between France and Italy for the past three years, but added: “War is fought in many ways—not only with cannon.” He mentioned blockade as one form, and referred to French partici pation in sanctions against Italy during the Ethiopian war.

Cone, were entertained at a banquet tonight at the Miami Bilt more Hotel. While the members of Congress have been sight-seeing. Florida Dem ocrats have on their part taken a peep at Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri as a presidential possiblity in 1940. Frankly Democratic leaders say they have been favorably impressed. Senator Clark, a member of the party, has been hailed at functions both in Jacksonville and Miami as a likely presidential nominee. Other Senators traveling on the "Florida Resources Special" include "Jim" Mead of New York, who is at one and the same time a Repre sentative and a Senator from the Empire State. Mr. Mead himself might become a New Deal candidate from New York in the event that President Roosevelt is not persuaded to make the race. Neely Speaks at Dinner. Senator Neely of West Virginia was called upon to speak for the Senate at a dinner given in the honor of the congressional party in Jacksonville and expressed the belief that all members who visited Florida would be glad to aid, by their votes, the State to obtain fair treatment at the hands of the Federal Gov ernment.

I Japanese Advance Slowed by Storms And Guerrillas \ - - - - Offensive on Yangtze Appears to Be Bogged Down BACKGROUND— In fighting since July, 1937, Japanese forces have conquered North China, Canton region in South China and have driven deeply into China’s interior along Yangtze River. From Nanking, combined army and navy forces marched to Kiukiang and finally Hankow, China's provisional cap ital. Chinese government forced to flee to Chungking, metropolis Jar upriver. By th* AinocUted Preis. SHANGHAI, Dec. 3.—Winter Is fighting for the Chinese and after 515 days of warfare in China Jap anese forces in the Yangtze Valley, principal theater of' the conflict, appeared tonight to be at least temporarily bogged down. Blizzards sweeping in from the Mongolian plains of the northwest, overcast skies and the erratic re sistance of hundreds of thousands of Chinese regulars and guerrillas had slowed up the Japanese along the Yangtze and elsewhere in the vast land they were attempting to “pacify.” The conflict had become more than ever a struggle for control of long railways in the Chinese in terior. Contests for Rail Control. Sharing importance with the Yangtze Valley fighting were con tests for control of the Lunghai and Peiping-Hankow Railways in the north and the resurgence of Chinese resistance in South China. In South China the invaders were bitterly opposed in their efforts to march north along the Canton Hankow Railway to close the gap between Canton and Hankow, occu pied by the Japanese in late Oc tober. Japanese based on Hankow were fighting to solidify and expand a vast front curving from the Peiping Hankow Railway on the north around to the west of Hankow, thence south and east to the Kiukiang-Nanchang Railway. In the north the struggle pivoted on a Japanese threat to cross the great bend of the Yellow' River for an invasion of Shensi Province, Chi nese Communist stronghold, where the Lunghai Railway meets high- ; way routes of supplies from Soviet Russia. Japan's Force Put at 300,000. Chinese sources at Chungking, the deep interior capital of the Chinese, said the Japanese forces in China or Chinese waters amounted to 15 di visions 300,000 strong, 600 planes : and 100 worships. Since the October 26 occupation of Hankow the Japanese had advanced southward along the Canton-Han kow Railway about 175 miles only to be fought to a standstill or actually thrown back in the last two ! weeks after they had entered Hunan i Province, bound for its capital Changsha. Today the Japanese were reported 1 about 55 miles north of Changsha. About 150 miles to the east of this i sector there was another concentra i tion of Japanese manpower on the Kiukiang-Nanchang Railwav at Sunkiapu. within 30 miles of Nan chang, Kiangsi provincial capital. Month Advance Under 15 Miles. The Kiangsi force had made less than a 15-mile advance in the last month, about 50 miles since Kiuki ang was captured July 26. ; The mountainous countryside through which the Japanese main tained a tenuous link between the Kiukiang-Nanchang and Canton Hankow Railways was almost a no man s-land, with Chinese penetrat ing into the triangular area south of Hankow bounded on two sides by the Yangtze.

French Tighten Tunisia Grip In Face of Italian Demands Leaders of Nationalist Neo-Destour Group* Hunted in Fear of Fascist Aid Bjr the Associated Press. TUNIS, Tunisia, Dec. 3—France is holding her North African protec torate of Tunisia with a tightened military and civil grip in the face of Italy's clamor on this territory bor dering the Fascist possession of Libya. Gen. Marie Gustave Gamelin. chief of general staff of national de fense. and Vice Admiral Jean Dar- ! Ian, chief of the navy general staff, traveled through Tunisia a month ago, inspecting army and navy de fenses. Including the fortified line along the border opposite Libya. Neo-Destour Chiefs Hunted. Civil authorities simultaneously have been hunting members of the dissolved Neo-Destour movement, a secret Tunisian nationalist organ ization which many French had feared might be used by Italy in an effort to weaken France's hold on Tunisia. To date, however, there has been no outward evidence of any crisis here. The Neo-Destour movement, a thorn in the side of the French ad ministration since 1911. was ordered dissolved last spring by a decree of the French-controlled Tunisian cab inet. Neo-Destours, ardent nationalists who want France to give Tunisia a constitution like the one Great Brit ain gave Egypt, nevertheless con tinue their campaign in secret. In the past the nationalists have disclaimed any connection with Italian agents, who. the French as sert. are busier in Tunis than in any other part of North Africa. Since the dissolution order drove the organization underground, how ever, the French say they fear its members may be used by the Ital ians as a means of stirring up a re bellion against the French authori ties. Capital Has Italian Majority. Italians have more than a mere foothold in Tunisia, which France acquired in 1881. In the capital city of Tunis there are 49.878 Italians to 42.678 French—exclusive of the military. In all of Tunisia there are 108.068 Ffench—exclusive of the army of occupation—compared to 94289 Italians. The total native population is 2.395.108. Despite the apparent preference of the Neo-Destours for French, rather than Italian, domination. Italian residents openly side with the native nationalists against the French.
