GERMAN REFUGEE'S GRATITUDE TO BRITAIN

LONDON, Nov. 1 (Reuter)-A refugee from Nazi oppression has sent a ten shilling note and his gold wedding ring to the Lord Mayor's Fund for the wounded. In a letter, the refugee writes: "This is last property the Nazis left me to enter England with. It is a little expression of my wife's and mine and my children's gratitude for the hospitality received here after years of Nazi oppression."
