Arab children thronged the teeming section's narrow, winding streets, shouting: "Death to the High Commissioner (Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope)! Death to the Jews!"
Booklets explaining Nazi methods of forcing Jews from the Reich are being distributed freely.
Arabs in Haifa and Jaffa prepared for the birthday celebrations, scheduled for today and tomorrow, by proclaiming a work stoppage and organizing demonstrations.
The Government Education Department issued orders prohibiting Arab pupils to participate in the demonstrations. Arabs newspapers, however, are urging the pupils to disobey.

True Story
Peter Shmidik, eleven-year-old Jewish youngster from Budapest, is being hailed throughout Hungary as the little Jewish boy who stood up to Streicher . . . One of a group of 500 Hungarian boys invited to Germany by the Nazi regime to see the joys of childhood in Hitlerland, Shmidik went with his friends to visit Nuremberg . . . Outside the beautiful city hall the kids were lined up for an address by Julius Streicher. . . Beaming good will, Streicher welcomed them and expressed his joy at seeing them. . . But, he added, I hope ttiere are no little Jews among you ... At this a little voice piped up : Oh, yes, there are. I am a Jew For Peter, not . . . quite understanding , thought he was being singled out for special honors And so he came forward, bowed . . . deeply and paid his respects to the arch Judenfresser . . . Streicher was so stunned that he abbreviated his address and left the youngsters to enjoy a sightseeing trip . . . And as for Peter—when he got back to Hungary he found his picture plastered over the front page of every newspaper . . .
A Columbia University undergraduate by the name of Robert Wood is reported to us as one of the most active Nazi propagandists in the East . . .
We wonder why Victor Spirodovitch , son of a leading White Russian anti-Semite who is a collaborator of Count Vensiatzky, has suddenly taken up residence in the Jewish quarter of New York's East Side . . .
Congressman Weaver of North Carolina is fathering a bill which provides for revoking the citizenship of naturalized aliens engaged in publishing and printing propaganda literature subsidized from foreign sources . . .
Official Washington circles are keenly interested in the report that one of the objectives of the American visit of Captain Fritz Weidemann, Hitler's one yes-man , is to win over some of our big-shot anti-New Deal industrialists to the support of Hitler's aims . . .
A friend of ours who has just come back from Brazil tells us that the Dupe—pardon , we meant the Duke— of Windsor has written an article praising Hitler for a Brazilian newspaper . . .
They don't want any publicity about it , but the Italian and German consulates in this country have received orders to ban the shipments of the current issue of Photo-History, which says some pretty plain things about Fascism and war . . .
The same ruling, we presume, will be applied to the November 27 Saturday Evening Post when the official gentlemen get around to reading John Gunther's article in it . . .
Last weeks scoop about the Congressional record publishing a list of 100 names of Nazis on the Pacific coast linked to Killinger and that a Nazi ball was held on board the U . S . S . Illinois , a govt. training ship anchored in the Hudson was so hot that it crashed the nation's front pages 72 hours before you read it although we had written it a week previous .
Berlin Buzzes
The right wing of the Nazi Party is rumored to be ready to liquidate the Nazi wild men by agreeing to a war within the next eighteen months, and then having the Reichswehr place Hitler and his yes-men in some comfortable concentration camp and declare to the enemy that the war is over . . .
Among those said to be privy to the scheme are Foreign Minister von Neurath, General Goering and Hjalmar Schacht, financial wizard . . .
Incidentally, the latter is reliably reported to be virtually a prisoner. . . Though he has resigned from the post of Finance Minister he can't leave the country . . .
The only reason he isn't made the victim of a one-man blood purge is that his death would be rightly interpreted as indicating the bankruptcy of Naziism . . .
Goering will soon be a papa, his non-Aryan wife, the former Emmy Sonnemann, expecting an heir any week now . . .
Headquarters of the Union of Islamic and Christian Arabs, the organization said to be behind much of the terrorism in North Africa, have been shifted to Berlin, and the name has been changed to Islamischer Kulturbund. . .
London Hears
That the so-called escape of the Grand Mufti from Jerusalem was not an escape at all, but due to the deliberate laxity of the British authorities, who wanted him out of the country . . .
The story is that with the Mufti outside of Palestine the British could legally get control of the funds of the Moslem religious bodies, of which the Mufti was the boss . . . With these funds, it is said, he financed the campaign of terrorism . . .
The grand Duke George of Hesse, who was killed in that Belgian plane crash together with most of his family, was not too popular with the Nazis, for he was the great-grandson of Prince Albert, Queen Victorias consort, reputed to have been a half-Jew. . .
