Ordinarily the state theaters and operas require most of his attention. He has vision* of making Prussia s play and opera houses the best in Europe, if not in the world. He will even throw overboard hallowed nazi principles to attam this end. “In my theaters I determine who ■k> Aryan and who is not " he said, unperturned by nagi radical thepnes. Forthwith he appointed Leo Blech, a Jew. as assistant kapellmeister of the Opera Unter Den Linden at Ber lin.

That Krauss is a half-Jew did not bother mchsfuehver Hitlers rtght hand man. There are limits to Goermg s pow er. however, as the furtwaengler in termezzo showvd Goermg considers him the world's greatest baton wielder. not even excepting Arturo Toscanini. So. despite his row he tried to retain the mercurial furtwaengler. The latter drew up terms under which he would remain, listing them as seperate points. Goermg took the list to Adolf Hit ler. He got no further than the first ! point. Throw him out ” roared the iras cible dictator. That ended the ar gument. Even the mighty Goermg is cowed when the fuehrer flies into a rage. Still Goermg hopes some day to get furtwaengler baek into the fold. Although Alexander Kipnis. a star of the Chicago and Ravens wood operas, is a Jew. he continues to be a member cf the state opera s cast since Goerinc finds he cannot find a ba« to equal hts.
