Under Ruling
BERLIN, Aug. 25.—German prop-
erty of thirty-three prominent Jewish
and political exiles has been seized
and their citizenship revoked because
of their actions abroad since fleeing
from Nazi-controlled Germany.
A law recently invoked by the Hit-
ler Cabinet provided for this punish-
ment of exiles who harmed German
interests by their behavior. The law
permits the arrest of relative?, of Ger-
mans adjudged guilty of crimes a-
gainst the State while abroad.
Former Chancellor Philipp Scheid-1
emann, former Reichstag member; j
Rudolph Breitscheid and the writers, ¡
Dr. Lion Feuchtwanger, Heinrich
Mann and Ernest Toller, are on the
list.
Among newspaper editors affected
are George Bernhard, Alfred Kerr,
Friedrich Stampfer and He'mut von
Gehlach. Former Chief Albert Grzes- i
inski and Bernhard Wiess also come
under the ban.
The property of Professor Albert
Einstein, who made his home in Bel-
guim instead of returning to Germany
from the United States when Hitler
became Chancellor, has been seized.
He renounced his citizenship.
When and how many exiles escaped
from Germany this year has never:
been made public. The former Social-
ist Chancellor Scheidemann was elect-!
ed to the Reichstag in the last elect-'
ions in March but he apparently left
the country about that time. Later
the Socialist party was outlawed.
Dr. Feuchtwanger, famous novelist,
turned up in Switzerland which also
harbored former Prussian Premier
Otto Braun and many other notables.
Heinrich Mann was among the writ-
ers whose names were stricken from
the authors' section of the Prussian
Academy by the Government.
George Bernard is the former edi-
tor of the Vossihche Zeitung, Alfred
Kerr was well known as a dramatic
critic. These men and many others
could not be found in Germany in
early March.
