...April 1931 has been hulking Dr. Heinrich Sahm-"Long Heinrich'' to Berliners. A favorite of old President Paul von Hindenburg and highly popular in Berlin, he is no Nazi at heart, has had most of his functions taken over by the Nazi Commissar for Berlin. Dr. Julius .Lippert. Last week, word went round the coffee houses that the Brown Shirts finally had got the Mayor. Up before a secret party court he was hauled, charged with high crime: not bribery, not corruption in office, but buying articles for his own use from a Jewish department store. The evidence...
Their director was Robert Lippert, a big, tense, jowly man who was once a boy soprano in the German Lutheran Church in Olean, N. Y.

...Governor Lippert's speech last week was believed to have been made at the instance of German Minister of Economics Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. Appealing to what he called "America's sober business sense," Guest Lippert said that U. S. citizens who boycott German goods do so "from wholly false assumptions." Calling the boycott "contrary to all American interests," he threatened German retaliation against U. S. exports, menacingly concluded: "One can do business only with good friends; with bad friends business is always...
