Fortnight ago Germany's Government decreed that, before next January 1, Jews in Germany who do not bear "Jewish" first names must add to their names "Israel" or "Sarah," according to their sex. The question then arose: What constitutes a Jewish name? That question became a pressing one not only for 500,000 German Jews but for "Aryan" Germans with such Hebraic names as Paul, Joseph, David. Last week the Government resolved doubts by publishing an official list of Jewish names-including no Pauls or Josephs. Some of them...
...Final and Challenge Round, always played in the country defending the Cup. This year the tennis association got out an extra coffer when Helen Wills Moody decided to try for a comeback in international tennis. A meeting between Helen Moody and Helen Jacobs in the U.

However ingeniously conceived, a similar program now would not only add a neat expense item to AAA's bulging budget but would almost certainly bring a squawk from Secretary of State Hull, champion of reciprocal trade treaties. In addition, subsidized U. S. wheat would have to compete in the world market against wheat subsidized this year by Canada, Poland and Rumania -with...
...underwriters expected by noon to fix the price, parcel out the shares. At 11:45 tne telephone rang. The Argentine Government, said a spokesman calling from Buenos Aires, wished to call off the deal; "market conditions" were deemed unsatisfactory. Beyond that neither underwriters nor Government had anything to add. Henry S. Morgan, second son of Banker J. P., simply said: ''It is now a dead cock...
