...before the deadline, thousands of Jews were dragged out, and shipped off to the Polish border. Soon some 20,000 including children wrenched from schools and orphanages, were herded at the frontier. Thousands were forced over the German line. Many preferred to stay in the open one-mile strip between the frontiers but 12,000 made their way into Poland. The Polish Government, threatening retaliation, made representations to Berlin. When negotiations were arranged the deportations halted. Jews on the German side were returned to their homes. Those already in Poland will have to pay their own way back, Nazi officials...
...week cited them in turning in his resignation. "I feel," said he, "that the best interests of the bank may be prejudiced by my serving as president. . . ."

...citizens who stay away from concerts, the best-known high-brow composer now living is probably Russian-born Sergei Vassilievich Rachmaninoff. His crashing Prelude in C-Sharp Minor, first introduced to the U. S. in 1898 by his friend Pianist Alexander Siloti, immediately started to outsell Tin Pan Alley's song hits, has rolled up a total of some 5,000,000 copies. In 1909, when 36-year-old Rachmaninoff made his U. S. debut as a concert pianist, the "Flatbush* Prelude," as it was then known, had made his exotic name familiar to U. S. lips...
