BERLIN, Aprtl 1. CAP) The
Nazi boycott against the Jews
the greatest organized anti-Semitic
movement of modern times
paralyzed the commercial life of
Its victims- today, bat passed with
comparatively few disorder!
Reports from all parts of Ger
many Indicated the only -serious
outburst was at Kiel, where two
men were killed. A Jewish attor
ney fatally wounded a Nazi leader
and was himself slain in Jail by
unidentified men.
Indications were that the boy
cott, which was limited to one day
by the government, would not be
resumed s scheduled Wednesday,
although Joseph Ooebbels, minis
ter of propaganda, made it clear
to a vast cheering throng in the
Lustgarten that it would be
simple thing to make repressive
measures against all Jews effec
tive again.
"We hTe the boycott so or
ganized that it can be resumed at
10 a. m. Wednesday," Dr. Goeb
. bels said. "If it must be resumed
we will crush German Jewry."
Only a few Jewish stores re
mained open today anywhere in
Germany, and the Nazis succeeded
in "persuading prospective cus
tomers not to enter them.
Boycott measures were enforced
aeainst Jewish doctors and law
yers and all Jews holding govern
men t" and municipal officers were
ordered discharged.
In Hamburg the police said
they found bombs on the statue
of Bismarck. There was no explo
elon.
Although racial hate was at the
back of today a demonstration, in
many parts of Germany, partic
ularly here, people in the streets
were In almost picnic mood, i
Brown-shirted nazls swarmed
through the thoroughfares carry
ing buckets of paint with which
they splashed identifying signs on
every shop run by a Jew.
Nazi headquarters had directed
that a black placard marked with
yellow be used to designate Jew
ish shops, but the forces of the
boycott had Ideas of their own.
Such signs as "Danger Jew
Store" and "Attention Beware
of the Jew," accompanied by
skull and crossbones, were put up,
tn addition to the regulation
black and yellow quarantine.

Repeal Votes in 2 States
Set; Michigan Monday,

WASHINGTON, April 1 (AP)
Momentous milestones In the
nation's prohibition history will
be passed next week.
Two states will cast the first
votes on repeal of. the 18th
amendment, and on Friday Beer
will flow legally again tor the
first time in 13 years.
Moving swiftly under the man
date of congress, the people of
Michigan Monday will register
their will upon keepinr the pro
hibition amendment In the con
stitution. The following day Wis
consin will cast its votes. Both
state will be electing delegates
to constitutional conventions,
which will cast the state's vote
for or against repeal.
Michigan, with Its convention
set for April 10, has the oppor
tunity to be the first to ratify
the amendment submitted to con
gress to repeal the 18th. The Wis
consin convention will be ' held
April 25.
Meanwhile, faced with the fimt
break in the prohibition dam
built up over decades, prohibition
forces mustered their legal ex
perts to carry into - the courts
their contention that sale of 3.2
per cent beer is unconstitutional
so long as the 18th amendment,
is still the law of the land.
Spokesman for. the Anti-Saloon,
league and the Methodist board
of temperance said today no defi
nite place has been selected for
forcing a test case to be carried
to the supreme court. It was ad
mitted, however, that various le
gal angles were being considered .
and that action would come soon
after the beverage Is legalized.
Millions of gallons brewed In
hopeful expectancy are awaiting
at breweries over the country and
much of it is bottled, ready to be
pushed out m the Btates where It
is legal. Immediately after the
stroke of midnight, April C.
Sale of beer will be permitted
in 19 states the minute it be
comes available nationally, while
five more have approved sale but
have set dates in the future for
effectiveness.
This compares with l4 states
that had no prohibition laws in
1920, 16 in 1919. 21 in 1918, 25
in 1917, and 31 in 1914.
