NO DISCRIMINATION

Jews at Olympic Games (Received April 30, 7.55 p.m.) Sydney, April 30. Mr. P. Cramer, German Olympic representative in Australia and New Zealand, states that Germany will receive all nations and their sports teams with the same friendliness. Harry Cohen’s Jewish faith should not have prevented him from going to the Olympiad. The Sydney “Daily Telegraph’s” boxing writer stated a few days ago it was because he feared that his Jewish faith might involve him in trouble in Germany that Cohen, a former amateur boxer who has now turned professional, withdrew from the Australian Olympic Games team. Cohen is reported to have said: “I did not accept the invitation because I feared I might become involved in some trouble over Hitler’s persecution of the Jews, and I am of the Jewish faith. In fact, I told the Olympic authorities not to select me. COOKS AND STEWARDS Shipping Company Employees For Olympic Village Berlin, April 29.
