COMPOSER RESIGNS
Jewish Author Praised
GERMAN CULTURE CHAMBER Berlin. July 14. The composer Richard Strauss lias resigned from the presidency of tlie Reich Chamber of Culture and from the chairmanship of the Corporation of German Composed. His action is officially attributed to age and ill-health, but it is believed that it is due to the fact that the Jewish author Stefan Zweig wrote the libretto of Strauss’s new opera, “The Silent Woman,” and that Strguss publicly praised him.
