Between Italian Fascism and its German imitation, one of the marked differences has been the Italians' unconcern about Jews. A small but ominous clap of anti-Semitic thunder rang out in Italy last week. Writing in II Duce's Milan newspaper Popolo d'ltalia Editorial Writer Oreste Gregorio declared: ''[Jews in Italy] must either publicly declare themselves enemies-we mean enemies-of all anti-Fascist Hebrewism ... or renounce their Italian citizenship and residence. . . . They' must abandon any participation in the Zionist movement for a national Jewish home in Palestine ... which would tend to create...

...Schaffendes Volk (Creative People) Exposition, timed to steal the thunder of the Paris Exposition and show up French "incompetence," will be opened this week (May 8) by Air Minister Colonel-General Hermann Wilhelm Goring.

Eloquent, thunderous, awesome, He speaks to Job from a whirlwind, reproves the moody, theatrical Jew in some of the most majestic questions ever posed. Out of many a U.

Wilt thou disannul my judgment, Job? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? . . . Hast thou an arm like God, Job? Canst...
This smoothly unfolded comedy is notable in only one respect: It is the U. S. debut of a 20-year-old, five-foot-three, 105-lb. Viennese girl with grey eyes and brown hair, using the name Luli Deste. Thunder in the City gives her opportunity to demonstrate that these qualities photograph extremely well. She is currently established in Hollywood with three Afghan hounds. Divorced wife of the late Baron Godfried Hohenberg, Luli Deste once understudied Elizabeth Bergner in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, ran a rug-weaving concern in London before she started in European cinema a year...
