ing with officers of the German
army, navy and air force.
The German officers came to
Danzig for ceremonies today, open
ing a new pontoon bridge over the
Vistula river at Kaesemar, 15
miles east of Danzig and forming
a new strategic link between the
free city and Germany's military
bases in East Prussia.
At the same time Hie Danzig
Ebling road, under repair for two
months, was reported to provide a
broad thoroughfare to the German
East Prussia garrison town of
Elbing.
It was estimated that 5,000
police would be under arms Mon
day, in edition to 1,000 members
of the regular police and 1.500 men

Include four companies of infantry,
a machine gun company, two anti
tank companies, a company of
light artillery, engineers, and a
motor lorry detachment.
The familiar Danzig cry of "we
want to go home to the reich"
echoed today over the ceremonies
marking the opening of the new
pontoon bridge over the Vistula.

Huth said that Danzig was strip
ped from the reich after the World
war, but the OB per cent German
population of the city had "re
mained steadfast In its love for
Germany and its German brothers
in the reich."
The crowd, including 2.000
workers who built the bridge,
echoed the cry.
Danzig's Germans today appear
ed to be realizing slowly that Uie
free city's return to the reich,
which they have been confident
would come about peacefully this
year, might actually he decided by
war.

Nazis Said Donors

March the president of Tulane
told him that "he was quite dis
contented with the activities of
this man (Von Spiegel) around
his campus." He said the Tulane
president charged that the baron
had "snuggled up" to various Tu
lane faculty groups "very effec
tively." Not Sympathetic
Sherman said the offer of books
followed a series of attacks on
his German professor, Otto T.
Kraus, who he said was not sym
pathetic to Hitler.
Sherman refused the offer.
Dr. Kraus, a native of Vienrfa,
is a naturalized American citi
zen. Ho was appointed profes
sor of German at Tampa in May,
1037, and attacks "based on in
nuendo" began a few months lat
er, Dr. Sherman testified.
'He made it clear," Dr. Sher
man said, "that he was bitterly
opposed to the Nazi philosophy.
He was frankly democratic and
very liberal.
'After he began his service a
series of attacks through rumor
attacks based on innuendo be
gan against Dr. Kraus. First, that
he did not speak correct German.
Then that he didn't have the
training at the University of Vi
enna he claimed to have. Those
were rumors we could check.
Could Laugh
"Then there were attacks on
his personal character. These we
could laugh down because we
knew Dr. Kraus. The attacks
died down."
On March 10. 1938, Dr. Sher
man testified, the local German
consul, Ernest Berger, called his
secretary to say he had a friend
who he believed could be in
duced to give the school a li
brary. Three days later he made an
appointment for the donor, whom
he did not name. On March 16
he called to say his friend, the
consul at New Orleans, was de
layed and would be there the fol
lowing day. This was the first.
Dr. Sherman said, that he knew
of the donor's identity.
When the baron arrived and
was introduced by P,erger, Dr.
Sherman said he inquired:
"Is this the genlleman who
wants to give the library?"
" 'II is not I, hut my govern
ment'," he quoted the baron as
replying.
Sherman said the German con
sul "told me he thought the facl
that we had no restriction on Jews
at our college and that we had
Jews on the board of trustees and
on the faculty was a mistake, and
that we eventually would regret
It "
Sherman said he "got rid of the
haron as quickly as I could, and
I wish now that I had thrown
him out."
